NEW EVENT MAY 20
The
Squadron is hosting a new event to coincide with the Fairfield
County Airport’s OPEN HOUSE. This should prove to be a very
exciting event for all who attend.
It will
include The Young Eagles program hosted by the EAA for kids ages 8
through 18 years old. This is a chance for kids to be introduced to
flying. All of the youngsters will have a chance to go flying.
Second
will be the Pilots Association meet for a pilots breakfast with Hot Dogs
in the afternoon. HAS will have a bake sale and hangar tour for all to
see our aircraft and facilities. Tentatively we are hoping to host the
Car Show this year at the same time.
This event
replaces our Fly and Flea Market. What a great program this will be.
Volunteers are needed and they will be enjoying the event as well as
helping out at the same time.
Sign up now!
IF YOU PAID YOUR DUES..

MEETING TIMES
Membership
meetings will be held on the 3rd Saturday at 2:00 pm at the hangar. Open
Board meetings are to follow the membership meetings or will be
scheduled as circumstances require them for actions.
COLD WAR TACTICS REVEALED
F-89 Scorpion
was one of the many aircraft types to deploy tactical Atomic weapons
to thwart a Soviet Bomber attack.
In the
early days of the Cold war it was determined to use small air launched
rockets with Nuclear tips to attack Soviet Bombers as they approached
our boarders. These tactical weapons were to explode within proximity of
the incoming bombers and destroy them. Imagine if you can the airborne
radiation of such warfare. Then we can appreciate the fact that these
were never used. The Century fighters were also equipped for this
tactic.
HAS NEEDS YOUR
HELP
We are in need
to improve our finances through revisal of the PX sales.
This past
year we were unable to generate this lucrative operation of the PX at
area air shows due to no volunteers. So we are issuing a urgent request
for volunteers. If you can help even with one show, please call the
hangar immediately. Online contact us at
www.historicalaircraftsquadron.org
The
squadron needs your help to balance our loss of revenues.
Please
help !!!

Well it's a
new year and were progressing. we are working on the
upstairs to make it into a meeting room and library.
We are also
trying to get the pilots association and 443 involved with
HAS.
As you know we
have two new board members, Bruce Cook and Tom Carroll. They
both are a couple of go getters. We had our 1st Texas
hold'em poker festival it was the best one yet.
Airshow season
is approaching. We have already started on this years show
so come and help with the things that needs to done.
Our next Texas
hold’em poker festival is Feb. 24th & 25th. So if you can
help out send us an e-mail or call the hangar. With all your
help we can make 2006 a banner year.

April 10, 1945
About 50 German jet aircraft shot down 10 American
bombers in the Berlin area. Just imagine what may have
happened if Hitler hadn’t insisted the jets be used as
bomber back in 1943. When he was finally over ruled the jet
fighter became a lethal weapon. The Allies had almost no
defense against them attacking our bombers.
April 11, 1918
The first United States patrol over the enemy lines by
an observation squadron in WWI was made by 1 Corps
Observation Squadron. They were equipped with biplace Spads.
April 13, 1925
Henry Ford started an airplane freight line between Detroit
and Chicago - the first such commercial flights on a regular
schedule.
