FLY-INS + AIRSHOWS Bob Richards’ Pitts S1S parked next to a miniature Pitts. Max Conrad Fly-In/Drive-In Breakfast & Airshow WINONA, MINN. – Whenever a flyin advertises that it is a fly-in/drivein, you know that it will be a go, regardless of weather. Rain dates, while a good investment in time, seem to be a thing of the past. The 24 th Annual Max Conrad Fly- In/Drive-In Airshow & Breakfast, July 4, started a little slow with a low ceiling allowing for only instrument flight conditions until just prior to the scheduled airshow at 10:30 a.m. It was as if the skies cleared to say, “let the airshow begin!” But not even a few clouds could hide the beauty of Airshow performer, Bob Richards. the Mississippi River valley and its magnificent bluffs – reason enough to visit the airport. Some 750 breakfasts were served and hundreds of people stayed to enjoy the free airshow performed by Dr. Bill Blank in his Super Decathlon, and Bob Richards in his Pitts S1S. Dr. Blank has performed in every one of the 24 annual airshows in Winona. Featuring a Super small Decathlon was Jim Vogel of the Winona Radio Control Modelers. A military Beech King Air flew in from Fort McCoy, Wis., by Winona native, Captain Scott Morcomb. Event organizers, George Bolon, and Kathy and Steve Buswell, again 750 pancake breakfasts were served. this year wanted the public to be more aware of how aviation supports vast groups of people in every-day life by bridging the gap between time and distance. Dr. Bolon, a professor at Winona State University and President of WinAir, emceed the show. Winona State University (WSU) and Minnesota South East Technical College both play a major role in the annual event by supplying tables and chairs, and the on-airport location for the breakfast.

For example, it has a unique two half-crankshaft, two-pistons-per-cylinder design, which is why it earned the ‘Gemini’ name. This design eliminates the need for a camshaft, valve gear and cylinder head joints – three main causes of unreliability and high maintenance costs of older-generation piston engines. “The elegant and simple design of the Gemini Engine allows significant weight and cost savings,” said Derek Graham, PPD Chairman and Co- Founder. “For example, the typical installed weight of the 100 horsepower Gemini 100 is less than 166 pounds (75.5 kg), which is about 34 pounds (15.42 kg) less than that of a 100 horsepower Continental 0-200. Opposed-piston, two-stroke diesel aircraft engines have been around since 1932. It was originally introduced by Junkers when they developed their six-cylinder, 12-piston, 867 horsepower Jumo 205 engine. ❑ Aircraft Rental • Instruction • Hangar Rental 24 Hour Self-Serve Fuel Accepting Visa & Mastercard Low Fuel Prices Free Casino Shuttle Lat: 46 o 01.4’ Long: 92 o 53.7’ ID: 04W CTAF: 122.9 Rwy 06/24: 2754’ 320-384-6667 62 MIDWEST FLYER MAGAZINE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2007
