On August 6th friends and Wendy Malkin put together a surprise 70th birthday party for Matt Malkin's Harlow PJC-2 at Renton, WA. Matt was called to the airport under false pretenses of helping a fellow antiquer with a project, and the surprise was sprung. Wendy provided the cake.

Matt and Wendy's Harlow has been in the same family for over 30 years, as this aircraft was previously owned by Matt's grandfather "Mac" McPherson, and operated out of Salinas, CA. May we all be equally thriving at 70!

Just in time for frantic polishing in preparation for Blakesburg, Russell Williams' Ryan SC-W has new wheel pants. Master metal shaper Norm Archer, at Sonoma Valley Airport (aka Schellville) in Sonoma, CA shaped and finished the wheel pants, fabricated custom-shaped cupped mounting brackets, and made upper cuff fairings. They fit and flight tested well. The Ryan is happy now back on the ground vs. being jacked up to takeoff attitude inside the hangar, as Norm demonstrates here:

After a ferry trip back to Seattle it'll be finish sanding and polish time. Here's a preview of what happens after several hours of using the buffing wheel:

Three full scale Fokkers (Dr.1, D VII & D VIII) from the Vintage Aero Flying Museum will be attending the AAA Fly-In.

These aircraft are replicas of a 1917 Fokker DR.1 (triplane), 1918 D VII (biplane) and 1918 D VIII (monoplane). Pilots are reported to be Mark Holliday, Andrew King & Bob Coolbaugh.

The Vintage Aero Flying Museum will also have, besides the airplane, a display featuring the personal effects (uniform, decorations etc.) of James Norman Hall, a native of Colfax, IA. Hall served with both the Lafayette Escadrille and the 94th Aero Sqd. in WWI. He is also known as the co-author of Mutiny on the Bounty.

These aircraft are featured in Mission Dawn Patrol, a movie about flying the replicas from Colorado to the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio, which will be showing at Runway Cinema on Friday.

If you're near to Kansas, fly in to the MAAG fly-in at Wiebe Field, Halstead KS.

Two more pre-registered Wacos for the Blakesburg fly-in. John Swander's UEC was also part of the National Air Tour and will be participating in the Reunion planned to take place at the fly-in.

From the newsletter: "Ed Katzen, FCF member, trekked to Lock Haven this year from Long Island, NY with his original J-3 Cub that was restored by the folks at Legend Cub. This beauty was enhanced by the three starlets shown in this picture. Ed's J-3 won Grand Champion for the 2010 Sentimental Journey event. Good looking airplane!!!"
