CHECK PRESENTATION TO THE FLIGHT TEST HISTORICAL MUSEUM

On 23 October at the Gathering of Eagles event in Lancaster, CA, Art "Turbo"
Tomassetti (F) and other past Presidents of SETP presented a check to The Flight
Test Historical Museum for $100,000. Turbo noted "The flight test profession
usually looks forward to the future with new technologies and new aircraft. The
Society recognizes that we build that future on the foundations of the past, the
things we have done and the things we have learned.  This museum will provide a
place that will care for that past." This contribution is part of the Society’s
pledge to the construction of the facility outside the gates of Edwards AFB,
which will house The Bob Hoover Library, SETP Archives and a STEM Classroom.

ITPS 10TH ANNUAL FLIGHT TEST SEMINAR




WINGS OVER CAMARILLO, SETP STEM PAVILION

The Society of Experimental Test Pilots, West Coast Section, participated in the
Wings Over Camarillo annual airshow and STEM Pavilion on Saturday and Sunday,
August 21 and 22 respectively.  We had a strong showing with eight members of
The Society who dedicated their time to further the SETP educational outreach
program at the STEM event.    The airshow gates opened at 0900 each morning and
soon the STEM pavilion was full of young people and their families curious and
eager to make paper airplanes and learn how airplanes fly.  There were some
tried and true airplane designs that flew well in each of the mission areas,
speed and accuracy (through the hula-hoop), long distance, and long duration, as
well as some new ad-hoc designs that could not overcome gravity.    The interest
at our table ebbed and flowed with the dynamics of the air show events.   For
obvious reason, the STEM pavilion emptied when the thunderous Super Hornet
demonstration shook the ground, and then again when the Red Bull aerobatic
helicopter took to the sky.  Some of the best moments were helping the adults
make a paper airplane for the first time and seeing the expression of
accomplishment when their design flew well.   On Saturday, one young teenager
spent about two hours making airplane after airplane, each time refining the
design, just to fly his airplane through the hula-hoop from greater and greater
distance away.  There was serious effort and therefore learning placed into each
new aircraft he made.   One of the most enjoyable moments came when a little boy
about 5 years of age, tried and tried to fly his airplane through the hoop. 
When he was finally successful, the dance he danced and smile on his face said
it all…he completed the mission.   In total, this was a very good event with a
little return toward normal in this COVID Delta Variant environment.  I believe
we made a difference in some, maybe more than a few, to continue learning about
flight and flight test.
