Only 3 more weeks to enter the AirVenture Cup Race! from DailyAviator by Dennis Collins
Deadline is May 31 for entry! I’ve procrastinated getting the Lanciar going for months now, so I’ve got to crank it up. Sometimes you need a better excuse to participate in the flying game besides “100 dollar hamburgers”. One of the racers at a past AV-Cup race said that air racing “gave his airplane a mission”. I now have a mission, to get the Lancair back in the air and go after the gold!
This year the race will be from Mitchell SD to Lomira WI, just south of Oshkosh (ignore the info on the AVC web site about Dayton, that was last year and the web site hasn’t been updated).

Departed Westbound - Jim Siemens from DailyAviator by Dennis Collins
We just got back from the “Red Onion” the local bar and grill nearest AZ82, Mogollon Airpark, where we hoisted a few in honor of friend, neighbor, pilot and great aircraft mechanic Jim Siemens, who died last week from natural causes. Jim was one of the nicest people here at the airpark. He spent time up here in the cool pines at 6600 feet during the summer, and winters in Yuma Arizona, where I believe he once owned the Harley Davidson dealership. Jim built two airplanes that I know of, a Lancair 320 and a Rotorway Helicopter. And he also spent considerable time in the 1990’s restoring the Aeronca “City of Yuma” to flying condition, a record breaking airplane that set a worlds record in 1947, flying non-stop for 46 days. He will be missed by a whole airpark full of friends.

Lippisch Collins Aerodyne from Flight Image of the Day by Paul Gladman
Alexander Lippisch was born in Munich, Germany in 1894. Developing an affinity for delta-winged aircraft, he designed a series of innoative gliders during the 1930s, his concepts ultimately resulting in World War II's rocket-powered ME163 "Komet" interceptor.
