Aeronca Aviators Club Reborn
The Aeronca Aviators
Club is now officially back! Originally founded by Joe and Julia
Dickey, who published an informative and enjoyable newsletter for
many years before retiring from aviation.
"We resolve to bring you a new version of this venerable name
with new contributors, experienced Aeronca owners, flyers,
mechanics, historians, and enthusiasts," the club said in a
statement to ANN.
"This is a self-supporting endeavor, backed by the
administrative tools, experience and resources of the
Bellanca-Champion Club. Except for the back-office and some staff
in common, this Club is a separate entity formed specifically to
serve Aeronca owners, pilots and admirers; as such it needs your
support both as members and contributors."
The Aeronca Aviator's Club staff is comprised of:
- Robert Szego, president
of the Bellanca-Champion Club
- Cy Galley, Editor-in-Chief of B-C Contact! who will act as
Editor of The Aeronca Aviator
- Tony Markl, L-16 rebuilder, fabric recover instructor,
tailwheel and formation instructor
- Carl White, Aeronca Editor of B-C Contact!, author of the
Aeronca Corner column, and aircraft restorer specializing in Champs
and Citabrias
- Charlie Lasher, author of several books on Aeroncas and
STCs
- Bill Pancake, renowned Aeronca expert
- Jim Spee
- Tony Buttacavoli
- Joe Abrahamson, host of the Aeronca sector of the Cactus
Fly-In
"Our aim is to provide the Aeronca world with an international
organization devoted to the marque, and dedicated to the reborn
Aeronca Aviators Club’s long-term future," said the
statement. The club said its first step will be the publication of
the organization's "flagship," a quarterly newsletter.
