General discussion
about the City’s FBO recruiting efforts - Tom Newlander
Ziggy Arneson is the only active candidate so far - Had been
running Chico and quit in anticpation of taking on
the Oroville FBO operation. He has encountered resistance
downtown. Tom thinks he has the resources, the training and
talent to make the operation a success. Should be Mom-Pop, Wants to make it a
Destination Fly-in operation. Tom is requesting help from anyone who can influence opinion
downtown. We need to get the selection off dead center and
underway.
Report from the
Oshkosh travelers: Bob Foster, MD Short & Marv Hollander
MD
- Visited Foster's relatives, couple of days at Oshkosh. Enjoyed
by all.
Marv - Spent 6 days, checked LSA's and ULs, heard Chuck
Yeager speak, UL gyro was demo'd, has a pic of Foster, MD and the
memorial, Oshkosh has suffered from loss of some
of the major businesses (Oshkosh b'Gosh, truck plant, etc).
City of Oroville &
Butte County Taxes -
Last few years we paid
$696.26 per year.
This year we will pay
$307.41 based upon the initial review by the assessor's
office. We think the alleged value of the property is still way
too hign. We will be filing an additional
appeal to hopefully reduce the taxes to $200/yr or less.
We are going to be
partners with the City and the Chamber for 2006 centennial.
Our event will be
"Dream Machines at the Airport Appreciation Day".
Flying machines,
floating machines, racing machines & working machines
Proposed dates:
Friday May 19, Saturday May 20 and Sunday May 21.
Re-roofing project to
start mid September and should finish the first week of Oct.
New proposal for re-roof as result of ET discussion
with Dan early this week. It seems Eric Tietleman (City Eng'r) is
still draging his feet with respect to approving the metal reroof
project and has indicated he would look favorably on an extension of
the existing lease terms regarding the "temporary structure" for a
year. Dan proposed we get a cover (his terminology is
"diaper") and install it over the existing roof to seal the rain out
for the winter season. Moved, 2nd and approved.
Items from the floor.
No action on the new roof fund raising letter.
Dan expects to pick up a box/scraper from SCORE that fits the
tractor. The tractor is nearing a running
condition, thanks to Dan's efforts. He thinks the remaining
problem is in a chipped fuel filter bowl that will be replaced once it
arrives.

The
Clark has developed a major hydraulic fluid leak at the ram and
will no longer hold at a set height without constant correction.
Floyd suggested that we plug the system and check the control
valve for leak off before tearing the cylinder apart as that is a
frequent source of loss of pressure.
Joe
reported that there are no 'paper' Clark Maintenance Manuals available
for our 'aged' machine through the local (Sac.) rep, Team Power.
Joe will continue a web search of non-paper sources. The Team
Power guys say they can provide parts.
Tractor
may run by next week (that's the week of 6/19), per Dan, if all goes
well.
Items
from the floor -
New FBO - The person currently under consideration by the city was
associated with the Redding jet operations, but would be
independent if doing the Oroville operation.
Various
members shared some "Opps" stories from their flying experiences.
Adjourn

reported that the minutes of the May 11 BOD meeting and the May 25
General Membership meeting have been published via email and

of the GM minutes, so they will be resent directly.

Recap of the May 21 breakfast - George
Thanks to George’s
daughter for doing the great cooking. 32 paid breakfasts
were served.
Dan inquired if it
might be appropriate to present a gift for a job well done? Not
necessary according to Geo.
Recap of the May 21 "Yard Sale/Hangar
Sale" - the event brought in $280.99 for OFOF.
What do you think of a "progressive" Yard/Hangar sale?
It's working. Continue to do
it. Continue to advertise.
Breakfast of June 18, 2005 needs and
services.
- Who will be cooking? Geo.daughter
may be available again
- Food inventory satisfactory for the
expected attendance? Ok
- Special Menu items? Waffles again,
yes.
Recap on the Golden West Fly-in at
Marysville - Ed Calcote - Ed
thinks maybe 12K people attended. He'll have more
exact data after the GW debrief. Lots of people from out of
state, even as far as Florida. Overall, considered a success.
Speed Record set at the Golden West
Fly-in - Joe reported on the successful speed record attempt
by John Parker and the Blue Thunder guys with his
Thunder Mustang, #371. They broke both the 3 km. and the 15/25 km
records on the Sat. flights at some 374 mph and 376 mph
respectively. Their fastest one way run was 383! These were
run at 100% power on the normally aspirated Falconer V-12, no
nitrous. The Sun. flights were scheduled to use 100% + nitrous,
but a fuel pump was acting up and they scrubbed that attempt.
John flew it back to Reno Stead successfully on Monday after the pump
was fixed.
Status of the search for a replacement
FBO at Oroville Airport - the owner/operator of Chico Aviation has
put in a bid and was being interviewed on Wed. afternoon, 6/8. It
is understood that if he were successful, Steve Larson would continue
to be able to do his maintenance ops. in the hanger.
B-24 flying report - Joe reported on
his B-24 mission on the Collings Foundation B-24, Witchcraft, out
of Chico on Mon. 6/6. All
went well and it was an enjoyable flight.
Items from the floor.
"Fix-it" needs for the Fork Lift, the
main ram has a major blow by. (It seems the Clark developed some
major leakage while Dan was using it to suspend the cylinder head for
reinstallation on the tractor. We need the Clark fully
operational for the pending new roof construction circa Sept. this
year. Thus the need of some repairs.)
- Chain
wrench for 4"+ opening - Joe has provided a chain wrench which may
do the job.
- Attempt to repack the ram upper seal
- Looks feasible. It sounds like the "leak off" situation my
require a seal replacement on the ram piston (or in the control valve).
- Removal of the ram assembly- Looks
feasible.
- Field service rate $85/hr portal to
portal from Chico - Not contemplated at this stage.
- Shop service rate $69/hr -
Applicable if we have to leave it at their shop for repair after
we remove and transport.
Action
item - Try and find a Clark repair manual (to assist in
fixing up the ram) on the web and get it. - Joe
