While a terrific asset to support builder focused activities of our chapter, our long term vision remains: to secure a larger aviation education center to base our activities, enabling us to expand our offerings in support of the aviation community.\r\n\r\n<strong>Questions? </strong> Email us at chapter (at) eaa179.org\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><b>Ready to Become a Chapter Sponsor?  </b>You may pay online here or send a check to EAA Chapter 179;

It was not supposed to be that way. Typical flights were between 9-10 minutes: this one was 12:28.

He taught for several years before taking the job as historian for NASA\'s Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center, Edwards AFB, in 2002. He has written or co-authored five books and edited another five, as well as published peer-reviewed articles and given public talks. He served as a technical expert for the theater release <em>First Man</em>. His wife was the chief historian at Edwards AFB and now works for AFOTEC, and\n\nChristian has worked remotely since 2001. He is finishing his current book and hopes it will be available in 2024. It is about an alternate spanload to the elliptical, the one used in every airplane you\'ve ever seen, touched, or flown on. Ludwig Prandtl, origin of the elliptical spanload (1918), published a second spanload theory in 1933 that remained virtually unnoticed. His \'bell\' spanload is more efficient, experiences no adverse yaw, and has flown on a number of airplanes at the AFRC. Christian is also finishing his Sport Pilot certificate and has a Quicksilver GT-500 at Mid-Valley Airpark.\n\n<strong>Where</strong>: <strong> Craft Republic; 4301 The Lane at 25 </strong><b>NE; Albuquerque</b>\n<strong>Directions</strong>: North or South bound on North Coors Blvd to Cottonwood Mall, 10000 Coors Blvd NW.
