EAA Chapter 430 Newsletter, June 2019

Serving the Port Angeles & Sequim Area EAA 430 FLYER June 2019 Dedicated to having fun with airplanes and promoting General Aviation CHAPTER CHATTER With Ken Brown Going from an idea to a reality is far more difficult than just writing it down on paper. As the chapter continues to grow and expand its horizons, the never-ending need for volunteers is also expanding. A small cadre of volunteers are caring a very large load of responsibilities. We need to enlarge the number of volunteers to take on some of the necessary tasks. Don’t be content to sit back and let the “OTHER” person do the work, while enjoying the fruits of that labor. This chapter has always looked at things as a team effort. We have a very diverse talent base within our ranks, and those skills need to find a place of service. No job you accept is too small. Many hands make big jobs doable and easily done. One or two of you would be great at heading up the general Scholarship fundraising activities, while another would be great at selling water at the Airport Appreciation day at KCLM in June and Air Affaire at W28 in Au- gust. Cooking Burgers at the BASH or serving requires a team of at least four to keep things moving. As the board works to develop programs and ideas, the implementation cannot be done by board members alone. It is the responsibility of the general membership to step up and stand alongside others to carry out the mission and goals of the chapter. Membership in 430 has an implied responsibility to serve in some area that will benefit the group and its mission statement. I encourage you to take that step today. Make the call and take charge of one of the many opportunities available. The rewards are greater than you would believe. For a list of volunteer opportunities turn to page two of the newsletter and make the call today. The chapter is best when we all have an active part in achieving the goals.

Dave It’s a little surreal writing this email. I just finished my final semester at Rocky Mountain college, although it has not hit me yet that it’s all over! I finished with a total of 3.59 GPA (.01 away from magna cum laude), se- mester GPA of 3.69. Even though our Baron was broken most of the semester, and I never even got to fly it because of that, I re- ceived a waiver to finish multi at Galvin Flying, my employer, and will still receive credit for the class, and won’t lose my 1000 hour restricted ATP. It’s unfortunate I couldn’t fly the Baron, but either way I’ll get my multi. The EAA 430 scholarship was an immense help. Thank you so much for your generosity! I know, for sure, there are two places I want to give back once I’m established, and that is the Museum, and Chapter 430. Both have impacted my life so much. I’ve already told Mike that I want to spend some time instructing at the museum this summer, and it seems he’s keen to have me back. I want to write more, but nothing is coming to me at the moment, so again, thank you, and keep in touch! Sincerely, Seth Mulhausen P a g e 4 E A A 4 3 0 F L Y E R The following is a letter from our 2015-2016 school year scholarship recipient, Seth Mulhausen to Dave Miller, Scholarship Chairman.

Getting To Know You (Bob Hicks) In the November 2005 EAA Newsletter Bob Hicks was our featured member of EAA 430. I am repeating the bio I wrote regarding his life in aviation. Not only has he lived a very diverse life, growing up in England, he has played an important part in the history of our chapter. Enjoy this recap of his achievements. (Newsletter Edi- tor) Bob has been fascinated by airplanes since he was a young lad in England. During WWII, he learned to identify the planes flying overhead. His mother was English and his father, an officer in the Foreign Service, working in Europe for the State Department, was from Tennessee. When his father had to return to the United States, his mother was pregnant with Bob and didn’t want to make the sea journey until after his birth. Bob never got to meet his father be- cause he died from heart problems when he was in his 40’s. He remembers traveling around England with his mother, a dancer with the French Loie Fuller Ballet. She had traveled the world with the troupe, including San Francisco before the Golden Gate Bridge was built. In 1939 he and his mother moved to Sussex. Because of air raids along the south coast of England, they moved to Somerset in the west of England the following year. He was six years old. Anticipating a German invasion, a small boarding school in Sussex (run by two women) was relocating to America. When a space be- came available, Bob and two cousins traveled with the other children in the school to America from Glasgow to Halifax aboard the “Empress of Australia.” The voyage took ten days, and he remembers the ship zig zagging to avoid submarines. They were among about 30,000 children who immigrated to Canada and the U.S. in 1940. After another boat was torpedoed and sunk, the program was cancelled. By then the Battle of Britain had been won and the invasion threat had ended The school was sponsored by Eugene Meyer, owner & publisher of the Washington Post. The children were housed in a mansion at Clovercroft Estate in Warrington, Virginia, where they were treated like celebri- ties. Eleanor Roosevelt invited them to the White House for an Easter party in 1941. Another memory he has (along with a picture) is meeting the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in 1942. The children spent many hours practicing bowing and curtsying. When the two women who ran the school returned to England in 1942, Bob (along with five other children) transferred to a school in Bronx, New York, which he attended for the next three years. In 1945, after the war in Europe ended, he boarded a Royal Navy cruiser, HMS Sheffield, in Boston and headed back to Portsmouth, England. He remembers being given the brass shell casings from anti-aircraft aboard the ship…IF he polished the brass, which he spent many hours doing.

Getting To Know Bob Hicks (continued from previous page) Arriving back in England, he met his soon-to-be stepfather and enrolled in a private school. When his stepfa- ther got a new job in Somerset, Bob attended the Taunton Boarding and Day School through graduation. He was an apprentice in the Bristol Airplane Company until, at age 18, he was drafted into the Corps of Royal Engineers (Army), spending eleven months of the required two years in Germany. When he left the service, he went to work as a trainee in the sales department of Newman Industries in Bris- tol, a company that manufactured industrial electrical motors. He was in their two-year training program, which required courses in electrical engineering. Shortly after completing the program, the company sent him to Newark, New Jersey in a Pan Am DC-7, his first ride in an airplane. Early in 1959 he was transferred to Chicago where he had his first ride in a light plane, a 172. He joined a diving club to practice his hobby of scu- ba diving. The YMCA, his home at the time, was having an Open House and a troupe of theatre actors was presenting a musical review. Bob was in the audience when one of the performers, Sharyn, came to his seat in her costume, sat on his lap and sang to him. He was smitten. At the end of the year he was transferred back to Newark as a dis- trict manager, but in 1960, they traveled to her hometown in South Dakota and were married. In 1961 he went to work for Electric Machinery Company, a Minneapolis manufac- turer of large generators and motors, working as a salesman. He and Sharyn moved to Needham, MA, where their son, Christopher, was born. Two years later, the com- pany moved them to Cincinnati, Ohio, where they lived for eight years. Sarah, an adopted daughter, joined the family while they were in Cincinnati. At age 33, Bob got his private pilot’s license and joined a Cincinnati flying club. Their next home was in Bellevue, Washington, where he worked as the NW District Manager for five years. While living in Washington, he made a memorable six-week business trip to the Middle East ( Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran) Spain and the United Kingdom. While in Egypt, he climbed up inside the Great Pyramid. As it was a day in March, he was the only tourist. The guide went as far as the Queen’s Chamber with him and then told him he could climb to the King’s Chamber by himself if he wanted to, which he did. They lived in El Toro, California for the next 23 years. In 1999 he retired from Electric Machinery Company and he and Sharyn moved to Sequim.

P a g e 7 E A A 4 3 0 F L Y E R Getting To Know Bob Hicks (continued from previous page) The RV-6, which Bob began building in California in 1988, was trailered to a rented hangar in Diamond Point. The airframe, instrument panel, canopy and wings were completed; however, the engine was not mounted and the wings were not on when it arrived in Washington. He spent the next couple of years finishing the project. Whenever he needed help, there was always another pilot/builder willing to lend a hand. After heart surgery early in 2000, he and Trent Sommers became partners because he wasn’t sure if he would be able to get his medical back. Trent helped him finish the plane and their first flight was on October 16, 2002. Bob has been active in EAA since living in California, where he served as secretary, membership chair and director in Chapter 92. His beloved wife, Sharyn, passed away in April 2010. Now the rest of the story. Bob is currently our Membership Director. He has held this role since 2015. Prior to that, he was the presi- dent of our chapter in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2013 and 2014. That’s a lot of years of serving in our chapter and we are very appreciative of his dedication to EAA 430.

P a g e 8 E A A 4 3 0 F L Y E R This is midpoint in year 2019, and I can think of two “hot” items that are not necessarily universal to all local aviators but have some pertinence for general discussion:

1. BASIC MED. This writer will soon make a visitation to a general practitioner in hopes of completing the steps for “Basic Medical.” It is an attractive way to continue my aviation experience as a senior aviator. It appears that my list of ailments and complaints do not disqualify me from this “certification.” It is not without some sad sentiment that I would allow my regular Airmen’s Medical to expire. It has been my continuous “friend” and enabled livelihood since 1961.
2. ADS-B MANDATE. So when we wake up on New Year’s Day 2020, the regulatory world of airspace will have a new layer of regulation and compliance issues. If you are like Rip Van Winkle and your airplane is not ADS-B “out” equipped, you may need to change your “fly-to-lunch” habits. From Sequim (and the whole of North Olympic Peninsula) you can actually fly “local” and not violate anything if you are lacking ADS-B “out” after January 1. Let’s call that “ADS-Bandito”. Here are some “ADS-Bandito” examples I can think of: a) YES, I can fly KCLM to lunch at PT (0S9). Port Angeles is Class E to the surface but that airspace is not part of the new mandate … and Jefferson Co. Airport is OK as well. NO, I cannot fly to Bremerton for lunch because it sits under the Mode C Veil of Seattle airspace centered upon KSEA. If you are ADS-Bandito, there are a whole bunch of square miles around SEA where you cannot go. If Pi-R-Squared is still correct, then you are banished from 2827 square miles around SEA , thus your dining choices are limited in that direction. b) YES, I can fly to Bellingham (KBLI) and the San Juans as “ADS-Bandito.” So, towered airports like KBLI are Class D … and are not mentioned in the new requirements. Along the way, you might find Whidbey Approach to be customarily helpful but not allowing entry into their Class C airspace, according to the new rules. c) How about KPAE, Paine Field ? It is a Class D airport… but it sits under the Mode C Veil. Big fat bummer…. Nope ! Once we pass January 1 and ADS-B becomes effective, there will be some revelations, awakenings, and inter- pretations. Seems like getting the equipment installed is the way to go … but … if you are satisfied with some geographical constraints, then maybe not. John Meyers Airplanes R Us by John Meyers

Date: May 25, 2019 President Ken Brown called the gathering to order at Sequim Valley Airport (W28) Hangar #15 at 1000 Pledge Allegiance Guests: Ernie Lingren, Gerald Stiles, Jocelynn Smith, and Betty Kincaid. Program Introduction – Deb Cox introduced Jeff Wells, owner and manager of Rite Brothers Aviation who pre- sented the “Ins and outs of Canada/US border crossings”. He presented his checklist for dealing with cus- toms and border patrol. He described the E-APIS government web-based program to provide advanced pas- senger/pilot information. He said Canada requires a 2-hour notice with a window of arrival time +/- 15 minutes. CANPASS notification will often provide a clearance number with no inspection. US requires 1-hour notification and they meet all aircraft. They also require a custom sticker. He highly suggested to have Cana- dian charts and all aircraft documents. He said Basic Med is not recognized in Canada, and at least a 3rd class medical is needed. He ended with describing the actions and frequencies (by memory) for a transborder crossing. Young Eagles: Bud Davies – said we flew 62 Young Eagles on May 18, 2019 and he was very appreciative of those who made it happen. We had several 4 place airplanes which really helped. He thanked Ray Ballantyne and Scott Fitzgerald for air boss and dispatcher. He said the next YE event is June 22nd during the Fairchild Intl Air- port appreciation day, and he expects a big turnout. Please come help. New Private Pilot: Scott Fitzgerald was recognized for receiving his Private Pilot License. Congratulations, Scott! Call for volunteers: Fundraising for Scholarship: Selling water at KCLM and Air Affaire Taking rack cards to places where the chapter can be introduced to others. Collins Foundation is bringing in a B17, B24, B25, P-51, and P-40 and needs flight line volunteers for June 19-21, 2019. Contact Bob Hicks for more information. Fly Out schedule: We will have LAST TUESDAY at PWT on May 28th . And if successful we can make this a perma- nent happening. Roundup at W28 at 1130 departing by the slowest aircraft first, followed by the others. Over about a ½ hour. Business: Ken offered the following information from the last board meeting: We have $1862 in checking, and only $275 in scholarships. Ken has proposed offering engraved pavers for a minimum donation of $100 to replenish the scholarship fund. We’re also fund raising with water bottle sales at KCLM Appreciation day on June 22 and the Air Affaire on August 24-25. The 100-person membership directory with pictures is now in the Chapter Business Pages which do not require sign in. All the board minutes and reports are available in the business pages. The 50/50 Scholarship Raffle was won by Harry Cook. We enjoyed our first Burger Bash of the summer season, and thanks go out to all those that helped, especially Dave and Joan Miller who cooked outside in a significant rain!
