DAYTON OHIO TO HOST DOOLITTLE RAIDERS APRIL 16-19
Written by Robert Buchwalter Saturday, 30 January 2010 02:09
The B25s are on final approach!
On April 15, 16, 17,
and 18, 2009. the Champaign Aviation Museum at Grimes Field in Urbana, Ohio will
welcome up to 20 to 25 B-25 Mitchell bombers! Grimes Field will be the host
field and staging airport for these wonderful airplanes as they take part in the
68th and final Doolittle Raiders public reunion.
These high-performance
medium bombers will be at Grimes Field from Thursday until Saturday morning. A
formation departure will be made Saturday morning as the airplanes fly off to
participate in the reunion festivities. They will return to Grimes Field in
formation on Sunday. The schedule, when finalized, will be posted on this site.
>>>
Champaign Aviation Museum
The Doolittle Raiders,
using the B 25, altered the course of the war in the Pacific and this is your
chance to see the type of airplane that changed history. The crews of these
airplanes will be on hand Friday, April 16, 2010, from approximately 0800 to
1700. A five dollar donation will give you ramp access,
the ramp will be open with limited access Thursday, Friday & Saturday. This is
due to stringent safety concerns, weather, and possible flight operation
schedules. This will provide an even closer look at the one of the cleanest,
most aggressively attractive airframes ever built.
There is a good chance
on Friday you will see these airplanes in the air as formation flying, like the
violin, requires practice, practice, practice!
These airplanes have
been carefully restored to combat status. They served in war and continue to
serve as flying memorials to the men and women of the Greatest Generation: the
people of our grandparents' generation who gave their all in order that we can
live in freedom. These airplanes are exceptionally expensive to fly and maintain
but it is important that they continue to fly and remind future generations that
freedom isn't free. With those thoughts in mind, we are proud to offer the
chance to sponsor a B25 for this fly in. Tom Casey will be the coordinator for
this and details will be announced soon. Additional sponsorship and VIP
opportunities will be available and announced.

NOVEMBER MEETING FEATURED FLIGHTDOCS.COM
 Our
November meeting was held at Lane Aviation on Tuesday November 10th and
Sponsored by Flightdocs.com a web based
aircraft maintenance tracking provider. Damon Vetere gave the presentation on Flightdocs
upcoming upgrade to version 2.0. He showed some of the step saving changes to
the program including support for fleet and certificate holder operations. He
also gave examples of the many aircraft that they support.
We also were provided additional information by James Pryor II from American Safety
and Health Consultants titled ""The 10 Key
Employee Safety Responsibilities". He emphasized that safety starts at the CEO
or upper management level of a repair organization or corporation but needs the
help of all employees to pursue a safe work environment. He also warned us of a
change in policy at OSHA that will bring aviation shops and facilities under the
same rules that exist for light industry. The target date for OSHA 300 program
start is within the next 12 months.
This meeting also included the election of 3 candidates to serve on our 2010 - 2011 board.
Congratulations to our
newly elected board members Joe Lippert, Paul Tursic and Bill Reinert Jr. Or
many thanks to Paul Gillenwater for his willingness to run for the board and
Donna Bricker, who leaves the board in December after many years of
participation in COPAMA as a charter board member and Treasurer.

Sponsored by American Safety & Health Consultants. Unfortunately, James
Pryor II was unable to attend due to an emergency but we've invited him back next month to speak on
"The 10 Key Employee Safety Responsibilities". We want to thank Jeff
Gruber for stepping in on short notice to give his FAA Approved presentation on
"Failure to follow Procedures"
Dinner included 5 different chili entries in what's becoming the annual "Chili
Cook-off". We want to thank all who provided their own recipes and the sponsors
who provided prizes for the raffle.

Our nominees are our current board members Joe Lippert and Paul Tursic who have
expiring terms and Bill Reinert Jr. and Paul Gillenwater. Donna Bricker is

to pursue her business
Concierge Services Unlimited. We wish her well and thank her for
dedication and contributions to COPAMA.

THE SAM DODGE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
  
On Friday May 29th, Lane Aviation hosted the Family of Sam Dodge as they
donated $10,000 to the Columbus State Community College
Development Foundation to establish
an Endowment Scholarship in memory of Sam. The event took place in the
lobby outside Lane Parts where Sam worked for many years before is untimely
death last May.
Lane Aviation President, Tom Deuber, gave a small presentation on Sam's career
and contributions at Lane Parts, his commitment to his customers, the COPAMA
Scholarship fund and membership in COPAMA. Tom then introduced Mr. and Mrs.
Dodge to the applause of the group comprised of people from the various
departments at Lane, hangar tenants and friends of Sam. Mr. Dodge then spoke of
how they appreciated the warm response from the many members of the aviation
community that attended Sam's memorial service last year and told how some
stranger in the hotel had just donated his last $20.00 upon learning about Sam's
Memorial Scholarship.
Sam was a charter COPAMA Board Member and a great friend of our
Scholarship Fund and the members of the aviation community here in Ohio.
The COPAMA board voted to donate $1000.00 to the fund and several members were
there to participate in the transfer of the check. Other groups and individuals
in attendance added their contributions to the fund to honor Sam.

AVIATION IN OHIO
With the passing last year of House Resolution 444 to create a National AMT
Day, I thought it might be interesting to explore the world of aviation in
our great State.
Ohio became a
State on February 19, 1803 and 100 years later, the
Wright Brothers, with
the help of Charles Taylor and a few others, created the first
heavier-than-air, powered aircraft to make a sustained, controlled flight
with a pilot aboard. The rest is aviation history which will be 106 years
old this December. Since that first flight on the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk,
Ohio's Sons and Daughters have been at the forefront of Aviation. Their
contributions span all aspects of military and civilian aviation and Space
exploration.
We've dedicated a webpage to the History of Aviation in Ohio. Please
click here to view our collection of
historic links and send us new links for inclusion to
mail@copama.org .
GOODYEAR AVIATION CELEBRATES 100 YEARS IN 2009!
 With it
roots based here in Akron, Ohio we'd like to acknowledge the historic
100th anniversary for Goodyear Aviation. Their first aircraft tires helped replace
skids and bicycle tires on the fledgling aircraft that started our great
industry. Please click on the logo to visit their "Heritage" webpage and
also check the links to the "Innovations" and "Future of Aviation" links at
the top of that page.
Congratulations, Goodyear Aviation, on being one of the first of many
aviation corporations from Ohio that will soon pass this 100 year mark!

C141 Retirement Flight
http://www.c141heaven.com/index.html
The Hanoi Taxi (tail
#66-0177) was retired from active service in May 2006. She was the last of the
285 C-141s built by Lockheed to leave active service. She flew 100 POWs out of
Hanoi on 12 February 1973, some of them tasting freedom for the first time in
six years. Each POW put their shot-down date on the face of the oxygen panel
during their flight to Clark AB in the Philippines. For her retirement ceremony,
the POWs she brought home were brought back for the ceremony and one last flight
by this gracious lady. Most of them are old men now but their enthusiasm,
emotions, and excitement were evident during this flight and retirement
ceremony. She was then flown to Dayton, OH where she will spend her final days
in the Air Force Museum. A very touching video!
