Re: Wondering should we keep this communication medium.
There are many other alternatives from this email chain or the website they have. These include: Microsoft Teams Discord Slack?
These are the bulk of the most common/widely known communication platforms and work similarly to a group chat or email. Microsoft Teams has the ability to have calendars and group meeting calls/video chats. I can assist talking on this if we would like to explore more options but the bigger thing would be to get interest from the other members and make sure we can have activity from them.?

Re: Wondering should we keep this communication medium.
Good morning Mike!? I thought about you when I was looking at your ZENITH while I was working on my plane, in our hanger, over the weekend.? ?Thank you for setting up this forum, I do use email and will attempt to pay attention to the subsequent posts on this forum---this is the first post that I have noticed to date.

On behalf of Ed Huntley I am posting this event. The Fly-in is for aircraft and the Joe Nall fly-in is for model aircraft. I have been to the model fly-in years ago and can assure you it is worth it. So here you go......

As of this email, we are 8 days away from our Triple Tree Fly-In and 19 days away from Nall in the Fall. Having two of our larger events close together is a huge undertaking. None of this could happen without your support!
We are on record pace for both events and pre-registration for the Triple Tree Fly-In will?close?on this?Thursday, September 15, 2022.? (Pre-Registration includes admission,?meals, camping, and premium camping)? After that time, people can still purchase tickets and camping, but it will have to be onsite.?
For the 2022 Nall in the Fall, Premium Campsites pre-sales will also close on?Thursday, September 15, 2022.?
As a reminder, if you are driving a motorhome to either event please google JOE NALL RV Route so you can have an easier time navigating the roads and if possible, please try and arrive between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm.
Triple Tree Fly-In Reminders
The Triple Tree Aerodrome is an uncontrolled airfield without an operational air traffic control tower. Advisory services may be provided during large events to help pilots with situational awareness. Pilots are expected to adhere to all FARs, and follow the current AIM guidelines for uncontrolled airfields. Failure to do so may jeopardize your safety and the safety of others.
To ensure clear and concise communications, pilots are asked to familiarize themselves with and carry a copy of the Pictorial and Expanded Advisory information aboard their aircraft. (FAR 91.103)
?
2022 Triple Tree Fly-In NOTAM, Pictorial and Expanded Advisory information can be found at
?Triple Tree Fly-In Volunteer Needs
- Ground Crew parking the airplanes can always use a few more people. Many hands make light work. Contact?Ray Spring?<--click to email him.
- Transportation (Golf Carts and Buses) Click here -->?
- The Taste of Triple Tree meal was a great success last year. We are Increasing the number of food stations from 19 to Over 25 Stations. You can help by getting a small group of 2 to 4 people to work a station so you can take turns while the other eats. Also, we need some more desserts so if you could make a pan of a dessert and bring it to put on the dessert table that would make this meal special for everybody. Please contact?Carol DiPrima?<--Click to email her.

We may soon have a new fuel
 In a first for the aviation industry, the FAA has approved supplemental type certificates (STCs) for the use of General Aviation Modifications Inc.’s G100UL 100-octane unleaded avgas in all general aviation piston aircraft. GAMI co-founder George Braly stated that the fuel will initially be produced in small batches while the manufacturing and distribution infrastructure is established. Although pricing for G100UL has not yet been determined, Braly noted it will cost “slightly more” than 100LL until production volume increases.
“This is a big day for the industry,” said Braly. “It means that for a lot of our general aviation communities, and especially for a high fraction on the West Coast, relief is on the way. And it means that our industry will be able to go into the future and prosper, and provide the essential infrastructure for this country for everything from Angel Flights to critical training of our future airline pilots.”
As previously reported by?AVweb, the new STCs come after??surrounding the approval process including??and?. GAMI?received its first STC for G100UL?in July 2021 and STCs for?around 600 additional engines?the following October. The company began work on G100UL in 2009.
Braly said the expanded STC covers all of the spark ignition engines (including airframes) in the general aviation fleet. If field experience reveals any oversights, the FAA has agreed to allow amendments through Designated Engineering Representative signoffs.
G100UL will require an STC for certified aircraft, which Braly said will be available through a web store the company is setting up. Prices haven’t been established yet, but he expects them to be similar to those charged for the Petersen autofuel STCs, which typically vary by horsepower between $130 and $500, but more for some engine models.
Production details remain to be determined. GAMI has a production distribution agreement with Avfuel to manufacture and distribute G100UL. Avfuel says it will engage with any refinery qualified to manufacture the fuel. Avfuel’s Craig Sincock said last year that developing the market will take several years.
Initially, Braly said, California Aeronautical University in Bakersfield, California, has agreed to be a launch volume customer for G100UL. Fuel components will either be shipped in and blended or a finished fuel will be shipped from a refinery in Texas by rail.
G100UL’s approval culminates nearly 13 years of research and testing that began shortly after the EPA announced gathering research on leaded fuel emissions near airports. It’s widely believed that the EPA will announce a finding of endangerment on leaded avgas before the end of the year. It’s unclear if this brings other players into the 100-octane unleaded fuel market. Swift fuel has been selling 94UL for several years and the University of North Dakota had adopted it as its sole piston fuel. Swift is working on its own 100-octane unleaded fuel.
Braly credits AOPA’s Mark Baker with pushing the FAA to remove barriers to the expanded STCs for G100UL. Although he was not openly vocal, Braly said Baker worked behind the scenes to encourage the FAA to complete the project.
