Mentoring
Are you ready to take the mentor challenge?
When many of us began our lifelong love of airplanes and flying, the world of aviation was quite
different. We could ride a bicycle or hitch a ride to
the nearest airport. There were no security fences
or locked gates preventing us from admiring the
aircraft and talking to pilots. Rather, one could
walk up to most any of the airplanes kept there
and enjoy their beauty. If the owner was around,
we would shyly ask if it would be okay to sit in it.
I recall doing this when I was no more than 6 or
7 years old. I remember riding my bicycle about a
mile to a nearby privately owned airport and hangar flying any one of several airplanes kept there.
The first thing I noticed was the smell of the air-
JULY/AUGUST 2013
Its Time
The state of general aviation is in a downward spiral. The number of new pilots entering the field does
not come anywhere near approaching the number of
pilots dropping off the FAA roles.
What is out there in todays consumer world to
attract new pilots? Gone are the days of watching
Sky King and his niece Penny flying the Song Bird
every Saturday morning solving crimes. Whirlybirds
was another aviation TV series. Every Saturday
evening Chuck and Pete used their Bell 47 helicopter to aid a rancher in distress or solve a crime

We, the owners and caretakers of vintage airplanes, are a special breed with deep-seated interest in preserving, protecting, promoting, and
safely flying these beautiful airplanes and the
colorful history represented by each make and
model. But who are we going to sell our airplanes
to when it comes time to pass them on to the next

was peeled off, handful by handful, and carried away by the men,
women, and children wanting
something to take home with
them, something to connect
them to the possibility of what
flying could bring to their lives.
There was no fear in the crowd
on that day of any airplane in
the world, only hope. Their tearing pieces of fabric wasnt vandalism; it was optimism. Most
people only dream of what pilots
have seen, the best they can do is
grasp at pieces of fabric to help
connect them to what we know.

Endangered Species
series, Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen. Walt has helped so many learn
about the history of their planes
that I cannot speak highly enough of
him, so give him a call. I believe the
most important legacy of the original Flying Club was that oil companies like Richfield and Skelly saw an
opportunity to sell their products,
to tap into kids imaginations and
natural curiosity of flying things and
where they could take them. They
built a community of loyal brand
buyers by letting kids play with airplanes, dream about adventures,
and listen to stories about another
kid named Jimmie Allen, so that
they would coax their parents into
their local service station to fillerup and do some shopping.
Sponsors poured in and a movie,
Sky Parade, was made, and eventually those kids grew up and younger
ones started watching their air adventures on TV. The point is kids
want to see and hear about other
kids; they relate to their peers. They
dont want to hear about us. If you
believe as I do that historys greatest
value is how we use it to connect to
our present and learn from that connection, then you will see the obvious flight lesson here. We need to be
very cautious in repeatedly reminding kids about our history, and we
would be wiser in helping and encouraging them to make their own!
Lane of Light
Richfield was the first oil company to establish a separate department for aviation sales and service.
They were already the gasoline
of power, on land and sea, and
wanted to be first in the air as well.
Some of the aircraft in Richfield Oil
Companys fleet were a Fokker 10,
Stearman C3B, Waco 10, Stearman
Model 4, and a Northrop Delta

Uncovering the
Mysteries of the
JU-52
Creating the Masterpiece
Professor Hugo Junkers was a
gifted inventor and industrialist
who dabbled in everything from
heating systems to high-rise steel
buildings. He received more than
380 patents for his inventions,
and late in his lifetime, he steered
his company into aircraft production. In 1915, Junkers produced
44
JULY/AUGUST 2013
aircraft of the sturdiest construction. In its 20-year production cycle 1,845 JU-52s were produced by
Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG. Hugo
Junkers, however, wouldnt live to
see it happen. Like many in Germany at the time, he refused to
support the rising scourge of National Socialism and was dispossessed of his companies in 1933.

around a central axis looking like a

Handling engine failures from the
right seat can be a challenge.
The landing gear on the JU-Air
aircraft have been modified with
DC-3 tires and wheels because of
the lack of availability of the narrow tall tires that the JUs used to
sport when new.
