The Golden West Aviation Association has disclosed that
"Bringing Aviation Home", a celebration of amateur-built aircraft,
is the theme for this year's Golden West Fly-in which will be held
on June 12, 13 & 14 at Yuba County Airport in Marysville,
California.
Frequently referred to as homebuilt aircraft because they are
often constructed is someone's garage, amateur-built aircraft's
roots go back to more than 100 years to the Wright brothers, the
original homebuilders. Just like the Wrights today's home builders
use their skills and abilities to construct safe and efficient
flying machines. Unlike the Wrights today's homebuilders have a
huge network of other builders to call on to assist in their
effort. Golden West is the place in June for Western homebuilders
to gather and share their experience and learn from others. Awards,
sponsored by EAA, for the finest examples of homebuilt on display
will be presented at a Saturday evening event.
Nearly 100 Forums and Workshops are scheduled for the three days
of the event. It is the place to learn from others who have built
or restored their own aircraft. These volunteers will help you
increase your knowledge, gain confidence and prepare for that final
inspection by the FAA. Some of the presenters are Chris Lowery, CEO
Decalin Chemicals (Auto-Gas) and Kirk Kleihold, Dynon Avionics
(Glass Avionics). Eagle Engine will build and engine each day in
their workshop. In addition to homebuilding topics Forums on other
flight interests will be presented. Brian Schul will deliver a talk
on flying the SR-71 Blackbird and Dr. Robert Achtel will present
"Are You Fit to Fly?" and "Into Thin Air", and Eagle Engine will
build an engine each day of the event.
