wife, Bonnie, restored Jack's Cessna 170 with a bit of a custom flair, using a color scheme that is
based in part on the old Eastern Airlines markings. Read about it and a stock Cessna 170 in the

EAA's Advocacy,
Members Help Bring Change
to FAA Medical Processing
Backlog reduction is fi rst goal
Among the most important issues
facing the pilot community has been
the FAA's backlog in special issuance
medical certifications, as well as the
cost and difficulty associated with ob
taining and renewing a special issu
ance medical.
That's why EAA is committed to
finding a solution to the special issu
ance process that affects or will affect
many of its members. The issue came
to a head at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
200S, when the majority of questions
fielded by FAA Administrator Marion
Blakey at her annual Meet the Admin
istrator session were from pilots con
cerned or upset about delayed special
issuance certificate applications.
After EAA AirVenture 200S, EAA's
Aeromedical Advisory Council, a
group of volunteer flight surgeons
who serve as a reservoir of aeromedi
cal expertise to EAA and its members,
developed a plan to attack the prob
lem . Based on this proposal submit
ted to the FAA last December, EAA
officials received an invitation from
FAA Associate Administrator Nick Sa
batini and new FAA Flight Surgeon
Dr. Fred Tilton to visit FAA head
quarters in Washington, D.C., for the
purpose of discussing the recommen
dations. A review of new agency ac
tions in response to EAA's proposal
to improve special issuance process
ing was also part of the session. The
meeting was held March 30, with
Sabatini, Tilton, and Peggy Gilligan,
FAA deputy associate administrator
for aviation safety.
EAA President Tom Poberezny and
EAA Aeromedical Advisory Council
Chairman Dr. Jack Hastings led the
EAA delegation that also included
Dr. Richard Jennings, EAA aeromedi
cal advocate and incoming president
of the Aerospace Medicine Associa
tion (AsMA); Earl Lawrence, EAA vice
president of industry and regulatory

Another of the original airplanes on display at the Shuttleworth Collection is this Bleriot XI monoplane. This Bleriot was
used at the Bleriot School at Hendon in 1910, and is the 14th model XI built. Crashed in 1912, it was stored for a time un
der a railway bridge. Rebuilt by A.E. Grimmers, it was bought in 1935 by Richard Shuttleworth, his first historic aeroplane
purchase. Still in flying condition, it is restricted to straight hops down the grass runway at Old Warden. The engine is the
original three-cylinder, 24-hp Anzani.

Dear Buck,
I've been reading your articles on
propping techniques and accidents
and enjoying them immensely.
They've stirred up some old memo
ries I'd like to share with you.
Although I never flew airliners,
as you did, our careers have some
similarities. I guess that's not so un
usual for guys of our generation.
I started as a line boy and me
chanic's helper in 1945 and then
entered the Navy upon graduation
from high school in 1946. I was as
signed to carrier duty (USS PHILIP
PINE SEA CV-47) and eventually
became a member of Air Group 20,
Squadron VBF-20. We were operat
ing Grumman F8F Bearcats at the
time; what an airplane that was!
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I worked as a line boy at Smith
Field, in Fort Wayne, Indiana; I
learned to fly, and lived in Hun
tington, a small town about 25
miles southwest of there.
I was working for AIRGO, and
one of the owner's nephews, Larry,
came to work for them shortly af
ter I did. We hadn't worked there
long when Larry began learning to
fly. He was a smart kid and picked
up things quickly; he was also a
smart ass!
One day I noticed him propping
one of our Luscombes, and it was
being a little stubborn. Larry called
for OFF and OPEN, then began
twisting the prop backward. He
called for CLOSED, BRAKES, and
CONTACT. Getting the proper re
sponse from the pilot, he pulled it

Current Editor's Note: This issue of Vintage Airplane contains the second in a series of nine articles pertain
ing to the restoration of antique and classic airplanes. They were originally written in the mid-1980s by di
rectors of the then-named Antique/Classic Division of EAA, and are still relevant for today's vintage aircraft
enthusiasts; most of our current membership was not part of the VAA when these articles were first presented.
Our members have years of experience and a tremendous amount of talent; however, it's likely everyone will
learn something new from each article. Please let us hear from you; write to H.G. Frautschy, Editor, Vintage
