Have a Stabilator? I do. The trim assembly is super critical in it's proper function. It is what "flys" the tail. Check those fasteners, pins, nuts... https://generalaviationnews.com/2025/05/09/missing-bolt-ends-multi-engine-check-ride/#comments Take care, Tim H.

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 The FAA and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) collaborate to establish staffing goals for every facility, for every area in the facility, and for each shift. They update the goals yearly and the goals are based on full staffing in the facility or area. There is a nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers, and the FAA for years has not met the staffing goal for the area that works Newark airspace. The persistent low staffing levels and low training success rate at New York Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), or N90, were contributing factors to moving control of the Newark airspace to the Philadelphia TRACON in 2024. Philadelphia TRACON Area C, which directs aircraft in and out of Newark, has 22 fully certified controllers, 5 fully certified supervisors, and 21 controllers and supervisors in training. Ten of those 21 controllers and supervisors are receiving on-the-job training. All 10 are certified on at least one position in Area C and three are certified on multiple positions. This means they can work those positions without supervision from an instructor. We have a healthy pipeline of controllers, with training classes filled through July 2026. If daily or per-shift staffing levels are low, the FAA ensures safety by implementing traffic management initiatives, such as slowing the flow of aircraft into an airport. You can find additional information in the statements we have issued on Newark. The public can get the latest information on staffing and operations in general at all airports at www.fly.faa.gov. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has made air traffic controller hiring a top priority. Learn more about the FAA's effort to boost air traffic controller workforce.

Nifty looking airplane - he’s enroute now and should arrive Johnson Field at about 8 or shortly after . . . -Alex

There’s a big car show that will be going on at the other airfield . . . We should have no difficulty with our parking/ingress/egress via our back alley street...

Before I order online, does anyone have a good local spot to pick up a case of 20w50?

Sid, Happy Birthday from me too. If we had known last night we could have sung to you. It would have been dicey if I sung with any volume, because it would have cleared the museum - and Steve would have been left talking to himself. Consider yourself sung to by your many friends - even if it’s just in our minds Dennis

Great surprise and even greater group of wonderful people. Thanks, all of you. Sid

Happy Birthday Sid!! Jerry G.

Does anyone else need any aircraft parts? I'm going to put in an order at Vans for more nutplates, screws, ...stuff like that... Need anything? Take care, Tim H.

Rain or shine it’s lunch on Wednesday at Mark’s and Alex’s Hangar! If we have to issue rubber duckies and/or water wings we’ll be there. P.S. the night before is the EAA meeting where Steve Murray will be going through the resurrection of his RV-10 following the flood in September. Both events will be entertaining and worthy of the pleasure of your company. Bring your own food for lunch on Wednesday. There may be some extras - there usually are.
