Breakfast 9-10:30 Adults $7, Children 6-12 $3. 5 and under FREE. Presentation begins at 10:30 FREE- A Tale of Two Technologies Aerospace Engineer Jerry Lockenour, will tell us about two emerging technologies and the safety challenges involved in implementing them in aviation. Electric propulsion is advancing in many areas, including automobiles and aircraft. In aeronautics it is making inroads not only in general aviation airplanes and self-launching gliders but also in larger aircraft. Systems are in test for suburban air taxis and full-scale commercial transports. Jerry also will discuss the state-of-the-art of high-speed flight. There is a reemergence of interest in supersonic biz-jets and commercial transports, as well as in hypersonic Mach 5 or greater military applications.
Here's how Stefan records air traffic control and cockpit conversations directly into his GoPro for making flying videos.
LED technology has become standard on new airplanes, yet it's anything but on the legacy general aviation fleet. The aftermarket is flush with LED landing and taxi light choices and in this AVweb video, Paul Bertorelli reveals that these lamps are brighter and more capable than ever.

If you are not familiar with the location of Chapter 59's hangar, you can easily see it as you fly over the field. The hangar will be surrounded by numerous vehicles and have EAA 59 painted on top.

"I flew up from HNB for lunch one a clear-blue-sky day last December. The restaurant was full, but I only had to wait a few minutes. I had the breaded tenderloin and fries. Food was delicious! The Jeff Air staff were courteous and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're passing through or just out flying and looking for a place to eat." - Submitted by Brian Crane.

"This is a favorite destination of pilots at my airport for breakfast. It's less a less than 30 minute flight in a 150. They just resurfaced and repainted the runway, which it definitely needed. The breakfast buffet isn't offered during the winter months, but the menu prices are reasonable and the food is good. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. No fuel available so plan your flight accordingly." - Submitted by Brian Crane.

"The Friends of Arcadia Airport, Inc. with President George Chase and Airport Manager Shelley Peacock and with the support of the City of Arcadia, City Council have done a great job of setting the precedence and standard for Airport Camping. The facilities are great and the people friendly. I hope more facilities of this type are built and maintained at airports around the US.
Plan a trip and camping there soon. You will not be disappointed.
Great job guys!
