Moral Support Canine Alec and I had a great time at two events this summer. First we went to the Popular Rotorcraft Association’s Convention in Mentone, Indiana, where I was given a ride by Christine Toevs in her Titanium Explorer so that I could get some aerial shots. (Thanks again, Chris!) Look at the Rotorcraft Section to see my aerial shot of that event. Hopefully, you’ll see more of my pictures of the event in upcoming issues. We then went to the Mt. Vernon, Illinois, lsa Expo, where I also got to see a lot of friends, take a lot of pictures, and say hi to a lot of readers. It tickled me that at both events, Alec was widely recognized! We’ve got a lot of good information for you in this issue. We begin with Dan Johnson, who has a report on the progress of negotiations that lama and usua have been conducting with faa. He then has a report on Oshkosh AirVenture 2019. This has been a sad year for air shows and fly-ins, with yet another one announcing closure. Paul Fiebich, AirBike Ace, has a report on what was likely the last National Bi-Plane Fly-In that will be held. At Oshkosh, Stephanie Gremminger was able to catch up with Jim Ketchell, who was in the process of making a ‘round-the-world flight in his Magni Gyro. His flight was an amazing accomplishment! Roy has his Top 10 tips for a safe takeoff in your powered parachute, although they are just as valid for other types of aircraft. We have two entries from Jeff Goin in this issue. In his Incidents column, he discusses how to improve your odds of losing (or winning, depending on how you look at it) in the Limb Loss Lottery. He also has a quick report on the fly-in held by the Bad Apples in Georgia. From Chris Pine, we have some ideas on ways to give back through aviation. As always, we have press releases with good information, products from our advertisers, and things for sale in the classified section. So, take a break from raking your leaves and enjoy! Editorial
