TIDBITS® FLIES HIGH

WHEELS UP!by Patricia L. Cook

Aileron, drag, lift, thrust–all terms pilots must learn if they are to get the “wheels up” and take off, whether on a seaplane, crop duster or a jum-bo jet. Let’s look to the skies!• Orville and Wilbur Wright built the “Wright

Flyer 1,” the first gas-powered airplane in the early 1900s. Orville was at the controls for the first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, that was airborne 12 seconds and flew 121 feet (37 m) on December 17, 1903. Wilbur flew the longest flight that day for 59 seconds, covering 852 feet (260 m).

• Orville and Wilbur were awarded a total of 15 honorary degrees from colleges and universities in Europe and the United States, but neither received high school diplomas.

• Charles Lindbergh won $25,000 when he completed the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927. Businessmen in St. Louis, Missouri, provided the financial backing so he named his plane the Spirit of St. Louis. After the successful flight, he became quite a hero and was sponsored by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund on a nationwide tour. He flew the Spirit of St. Louis to 92 cities in 48 states, gave 147 speeches and rode 1,290 miles (2076 km) in parades. Lindbergh’s famous flight was 3,600 miles (5,790 km) and lasted 33 1/2 hours.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

WHEELS UP! (continued):• Airliners today can fly Lindbergh’s transatlantic

route from New York to Paris in fewer than seven hours.

• Chuck Yeager was the first pilot to fly faster than the speed of sound—supersonic—about 768 miles per hour (1,236 km per hour) at sea level. He accomplished the feat in a Bell X-1 jet on October 14, 1947. Yeager is a retired brigadier general with the U.S. Air Force and still flying at 87 years old. He lives in Penn Valley, California.

• Seaplanes are used in more areas than you may think. Vancouver, British Columbia, has a number of seaplanes used by commuters from the outlying islands as well as by tourists. Used for taking off and landing on water, the most famous seaplanes, called “flying boats,” were the Pan American Clippers in the 1930s. Their four engines propelled the planes at almost 200 miles per hour (322 km/hour). Pan Am, as it was called, was the first airline to cross the Pacific, the first to offer regular commercial service across the North Atlantic, and the first to establish extensive routes to South America. They had a fleet of 25 “flying boats.”

• The largest “flying boat” ever built was the H-4 Hercules, better known as the “Spruce Goose.” Henry Kaiser, head of a large shipbuilding company, and Howard Hughes, a well-known businessman, movie producer, aeronautical engineer and aviator, joined forces to build flying transport planes capable of moving troops and supplies across the Atlantic for World War II efforts.

• The “Spruce Goose” was finished in 1947, two years too late to help the Allied forces in the war. Disappointed with the timing, Hughes (Kaiser had left the project) was determined to show that his plane was flight-worthy.


Oct 3 - Oct 9Page 3

WHEELS UP! (continued):

• Controversy over the amount of money spent on the “goose” led to a government investigation. Hughes ordered his team to prepare the plane for tests on his arrival back from the investigation. On November 2, 1947, with newsmen and others gathered, he glided the “Spruce Goose” across a three-mile stretch of the Long Beach, California, harbor. On the third taxi Hughes stunned the crowd as he lifted the seaplane off the water. On the only flight it ever made, it flew for a little over a mile (1.6 km) for about one minute at an altitude of 70 feet (21 m). He showed the skeptics that the big bird could fly.

• Hughes stored the “goose” in flight-ready condition in a custom-built hangar for 33 years at an annual cost of approximately $1 million. Where is it now? It is the “crown jewel” of the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

• Pan American’s order for 25 Boeing 747 airplanes on April 13, 1966, was the launch of the “jumbo jet” program that would make Boeing the aviation icon that it is today. Boeing purchased 780 acres (316 ha) of land in Everett, Washington, for the 747 production plant. The first 747 nose section was built at the Boeing plant in Wichita, Kansas, and delivered to the Everett plant on November 21, 1967. The Boeing 747 is longer than the distance of the first flight made by the Wright Brothers! In fact, the first flight could have been done within the coach class section of a 747-400.

• The Concorde is the fastest airliner to ever fly in regular revenue service. The top record-setting flight was by British Airways from London to New York on February 7, 1996. The flight was completed in 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds.

WHEELS UP! (continued):• The first experimental flight of the Concorde

was in 1969. The airliner was developed jointly by the French and British and flew in commercial service for Air France and British Airways for about 30 years. Following the airliner’s lone tragic crash in 2000 where 113 people were killed, service was resumed in 2001 and continued until 2003 when all Concordes were retired. In recognition of the Concorde’s service, British Airways timed the last three flights on July 24, 2003, to land within five minutes of each other at Heathrow Airport in London. Most of the planes are now at museums around the world.

• Do you know which U.S. city claims to be the “Aviation Capital of the World?” Wichita, Kansas. It has a history of aviation entrepreneurs including Lloyd Stearman, Walter Beech and Clyde Cessna. The Kansas Aviation Museum showcases the city’s claim with the Wichita Flight Festival held every September.

• In 1929, Wichita had 11 airports, 100 aircraft-related businesses and 12 flying schools. About 2,000 people employed in the aircraft plants could produce 120 airplanes a week. Wichita was the main supplier of airplanes needed for World War II.

• According to an ABC news report on “Nightline” on May 5, 2010, U.S. passengers involved in airplane crashes in the last 30 years have had a 95.6-percent survival rate. Most recently this statistic was exemplified by the 2008 emergency landing of US Air Flight 1549 on New York’s Hudson River. The news media dubbed this event the “Miracle on the Hudson” because, remarkably, everyone survived. Statistically, flying is a very safe way to travel.

Q: What do you call a flying primate?

A: A hot air baboon!

1. There was a government mandate not to use steel & aluminum because of WWII needs.

2. “Flying Lumberyard”

1. Pitch2. Yaw3. The hinged parts that are on the back edge of each

wing. They are moved up and down for rolling and banking movements.

4. The Concorde5. 2003; extremely high operating costs

This word means: the distance between the tips of an airplane’s wings.


Much has been said about fuel efficiency. With cars, truck, motorcycles, trains, and airplanes, research and development of more efficient transportation has been a hot-button topic for years. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is one of the new airplanes that is currently being built and should be flying for several airlines by the end of 2010. Boeing says that the new Dreamliners “will be the most ‘green’ commercial air transport in the world.”

When an aircraft flies faster than sound, it is said to be supersonic. The speed of sound is about 768 miles per hour (1236 km per hour) at sea level. If you hear the term Mach 1, it is referring to the speed of sound. So, anything faster is supersonic. You may hear of speeds up to Mach 5, or five times faster than the speed of sound! Top speed for the Concorde was Mach 2.04 (about 1350 mph or 2173 km/h). Most fighter jets are supersonic.

Waiting for our flight at Gate 35, I was reading when I heard an announcement, “We apologize for the inconvenience, but Flight 501 will board from Gate 17.”

So I picked up my luggage and moved to Gate 17. About ten minutes after getting settled, another announcement came, “Flight 501 will now be boarding at Gate 35, as originally scheduled.”

I gathered my belongings and returned to the original gate. After settling down again, the gate agent announced, “Thank you for participating in our airport physical fitness program today! We’ll now board your flight so you can sit for three hours!”

“The Incredibles” was the name given to the mechanics, engineers, construction workers, secretaries and administrators who made aviation history by building the largest civilian airplane in the world, the Boeing 747, in less than 16 months. The first flight was on February 9, 1969.

• It was American author and futurist Alvin Toffler who made the following sage observation: "Profits, like sausages, are esteemed most by those who know least about what goes into them." • In honor of October being National Pizza month, here are a few statistics: Approximately 3 billion pizzas are sold every year in the United States. Seventeen percent of all the restaurants in the country are pizzerias. If you're like 93 percent of Americans, you eat at least one pizza every month. Pepperoni is the most popular topping, followed by sausage, mushrooms, onions and olives. And a Gallup poll found that kids between the ages of 3 and 11 would choose

pizza over any other food for lunch or dinner. • Are you a dipsomaniac? The root of the word is from the Greek "dipso," meaning "thirst" -- and we're all familiar with the "mania" part. "Dipsomaniac" is just a fancy name for a drunk. • You may be surprised to learn that 43 percent of 6- to 9-year-old girls use lip gloss. Of course, if you're a parent of a young girl, you may not be surprised at all. • A newly married couple sued the upscale resort in Chile where they spent their honeymoon when a swim in the pool turned the bride's waist-length blond hair green. • The oldest known skis were found, perhaps unsurprisingly, in Scandinavia. The experts say the skis were made about 4,000 years ago. • If you live in the state of Minnesota, you might want to keep in mind that it's against the law to sleep with no clothes on.

The Right Outfitted Hunt Research Is A Must

By Tresa EricksonYou’re accustomed to flying solo when you hunt, but lately, you’ve been thinking you might like to go on an outfitted hunt. Your brother-in-law just went on one and had a great time. Of course, not all outfitted hunts are created equal. Some are better than oth-ers, and to ensure you get your money’s worth, you need to do your homework.

Outfitted hunts can cost hundreds to thou-sands of dollars, so it is imperative that you choose the right one. Get recommendations from friends and family, and if you’ve got the funds, consider hiring a booking agency. They specialize in outfitted hunts and will do all of the legwork necessary to present you with the best options.

However you go about finding an outfitted hunt, make sure you shop around and find out as much as you can about the hunts that interest you. Here is a list of questions to ask:• How long has the outfitter been in business? The more experience they have, the more like-ly they are to provide you with a good hunt.• What kind of hunting does the outfitter specialize in? If you are a bow hunter, then

you want an outfitter who specializes in bow hunting and can provide you with a hunt cen-tered on that.• Who will be guiding the hunt? How experi-enced are they in general and with the area? Don’t assume the outfitter will guide the hunt. They may take on the duty themselves or del-egate it to someone else. Whoever serves as your guide should be familiar with the game and area. If your guide has never hunted the game you’re after or been in the area for just a few weeks, chances are you are in for a rough hunt.• What kind of accommodations are pro-vided? Usually, the more the hunt costs, the better accommodations you can expect. Don’t count on this, however. Find out. Pop-up campers and campfire food may not provide the type of rest and nourishment you seeking after a long day out in the field.• How many hunters are involved? The more hunters covering the same piece of land, the less likely you are to bag one. If you’re looking for some privacy, be prepared to pay for it.• What kind of equipment will you need to bring? Good outfitters will provide you with a complete list of equipment and supplies you should bring.• Who takes care of any game that is bagged? Better outfitters provide ATVs to take you back to camp and staff to care for the game.• How much does the hunt cost? Are there any additional fees? Find out exactly what the cost is and what it entails. You don’t want to arrive to camp and have to shell out more money for this and that.

These are just some of the basic questions you should ask about the outfitted hunts that interest you. You will probably come up with more. Don’t hesitate to find out the informa-tion you need and make sure you get a list of

references with the names of successful and not-so-successful hunters. Follow up on those references and call your local state wildlife agency to ensure the outfitter is on the up and up.

Cash In on Clutter

If you know you'll need extra cash for the holidays, consider this: There is cash in clutter. By beginning now to unload the clutter, you can accomplish two things: getting rid of extras that could be stifling you, and making a little extra money.Where's the clutter? It's potentially everywhere. Consider consigning clothing you haven't worn in two years, and sell toys the children don't play with anymore. Have you done a lot of "retail therapy" either in stores or at yard sales, bringing home knick-knacks you end up dusting every week? Old watches, musical instruments, iPods and mp3 players may have some value to someone else, especially for their parts. Sell

duplicates of tools and stereo speakers.If you have multiple computers, your old reject might be just the thing for someone else. The same goes for your older monitors and keyboards. If you've amassed a large

collection of videos and DVDs (that no one ever watches anymore), sell them and clear up some space. The same goes for books and craft items or hobby supplies that looked appealing when you bought them.If you have far too many inherited items that you've kept out of a sense of obligation, consider whether it's time to let them go. For items that could be valuable, get an appraisal as to their worth.The biggest clutter sign of all is if you rent a storage unit to hold the excesses of your life. If you've had that unit for more than six months and haven't visited it, that's a sure sign that you can live without the contents. Spend a few weekends going through

the boxes you've stored to see what you can sell. Not only will you pocket the cash, but you might be able to downsize to a smaller unit if there are items you absolutely must store.Even if you hire an online auction company to take care of the actual pricing, shipping and photography of your items, you'll come out ahead without having spent the time to micromanage online bids.If you end up giving items to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, you can still net a financial gain in the form of charitable tax deductions. Use a computer program called "It's Deductible" to calculate the fair market value of what you donate.

SHOE MUSEUMSShoes are essential to our wardrobes—at least for most people in modern society. They are made for comfort, health and fashion. But some have been ridiculed for their “need” for so many!

• Imelda Marcos, wife of the late dictator Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, was a story on all of the news networks when her shoe room was discovered. She apparently had over 1,500 pairs of very fashionable shoes, while most people in her country were extremely poor and in need. Once a 19th century rice mill, the Marikina Shoe Museum in the Philippines focuses on shoes, but really highlights the excesses of the Marcos’ dictatorial reign.

• The SONS Museum 46 miles (74 km) east of Brussels, Belgium, is a museum that shows shoes more as art than fashion. The acronym stands for “shoes or no shoes.” There are over 4,000 pairs of shoes divided into three collections: Artist, Designer and Ethnographic. The displays show historical and cultural differences from the world over. The artist section has shoes collected from artists. Some sent the shoes they used while working.

• The Brockton Shoe Museum, south of Boston, claims to be “the only authentic shoe museum in America.” Shoemaking history from the 16th century to the present is shown, from Indian moccasins to popular shoes of today. A “Celebrity Footwear” exhibit showcases shoes worn by Rocky Marciano, Primo Carnera (1930’s Italian boxer who wore size 24!), Mamie Eisenhower and even a pair of President Clinton’s jogging shoes.

SHOE MUSEUMS (continued):• The 39,000-square-foot (3623 m2) Bata Shoe

Museum in Toronto is the world’s largest and houses more than 10,000 pairs of shoes in a stunning four-story building. It was opened in 1995 by the family that started the Bata Shoe Company. Sonja Bata, born and educated as an architect in Switzerland, married Thomas J. Bata, son of a Czechoslovakian shoe manufacturer. Thomas had immigrated to Canada at the beginning of World War II after the family business had been nationalized under Communism.

• After their marriage in 1946, Sonja joined her husband in what was to become a global business, rebuilding the family company. She also collected shoes from all over the world, and in 1979, the Bata Shoe Museum Foundation was established. In keeping the museum separate from commercialism, there are no Bata shoes displayed at the museum. Only 25 percent of the museum displays are semi-permanent. The other displays are constantly changing. The museum has many events to keep things interesting for locals as well as tourists.

• The Bata family’s great influence on shoes can also be seen at the Zlin Shoe Museum in the Czech Republic. Thomas Bata’s father Tomas was truly a visionary businessman who revolutionized the footwear industry in the town of Zlin in the 1890s. He used mass production techniques inspired by Henry Ford to produce quality shoes. The museum is housed in the former shoe factory, and it displays many original Bata shoes that made the town and the family what they are today.

• So whether you prefer sandals, loafers, stilettos or athletic shoes, we all owe our comfortable, fashionable footwear to the pioneers in the industry.
