Carol,
Your & staff do a fantastic
effort with these timely updates - a lot of very much appreciated effort @ PCN.
Thank you
Bob ZIMINSKY
Delta retiree - May 11998
Editor:
On behalf of Carol I thank you Bob for sending along your compliment. It is also flattering to mention “our
staff”. The PCN hasn’t any staff, just
two lonely volunteers; Carol and I with help from David Roberts. But if it appears that we have a staff then
we must be doing something right. Thanks
again.

Delta Air Lines is cutting 6

The pandemic is already having a lasting change on
airline route maps.
Every U.S. carrier has adjusted its network strategy over the
past year. Some have beefed up service to existing leisure destinations,
and others are growing with new dots to
their route map.
For Delta, there’s largely been a focus on the former: the
airline has added new service to Alaska, as well as to various
leisure spots on the East Coast, including Hilton Head, South Carolina;
Norfolk, Virginia; Asheville, North Carolina, and more.

The event opened at 10:30 am. Fritz Kuhn and Jack Baker helped with the car parking. As guests entered the hangar, they were directed to the registration table and welcomed by Julian Black and Jim Hoogerwerf. Attendees filled out a simple registration form and received a name tag. Guests mingled in the hangar and outside to converse and admire the airplanes and cars. A pastry and beverage bar were staffed by mentor Tami Mars and youth participant Ayala Weiner. The many delicacies were provided by a volunteer
At approximately noon
Jim Hoogerwerf welcomed everyone and recognized the organizing committee: Jan
Moffett for the flier; Linda and Keven Sasser, Cyala McLeod, and Hannah Wilson
with Peach State Aerodrome and Event Center; Joe Reheiser, Jim Hoak, from
RAYAP; and Julian Black, Jay Coyle, Jack Baker, Fritz Kuhn, Joe Reid, and Harry
Ballance from DGW.
Paul Talbott and Tim
Frilingos were present from the Delta Flight Museum. The museum has acquired a
Douglas DC-7B, ship #717 that will be placed on permeant display. Tim took the
mic and said bringing the ship to Atlanta required the rental of four
functioning engines. The aircraft is painted in its original Delta livery and
the interior will be restored. Paul and Tim asked for pilots with DC7
experience to be interviewed for a documentary. Harry Ballance, Wynn Baker,
Austin Mayfield, Bob Teasley, D.L. “Dazy” Perry, Plato Rhyne, John Ellington,
volunteered. Espy Ball, Capt. Pre Ball’s son, responded as well.
Jim explained a slate of speakers was scheduled for later and requested a
moment of silence in remembrance of departed colleagues, friends, and family.
The food line was opened and folks lined up for hamburgers and hot dogs. People
enjoyed their meals and conversations at tables set up in the hangar.
Following lunch, the speakers offered information of interest:
Cal Tax told us of an annually scheduled opportunity sponsored by Delta’s
mechanics to see military aircraft on display at the Delta Technological
Operations Center on November 4th in honor of military veterans.
This is open to Delta current and retired Delta employees and their guests. Be
alert for further information.
Keven Sasser advised us that all airport lots have now been sold. Keven and
Linda Sasser own the airport property, but not the restaurant and generously
donated the proceeds from the facility fee to the Youth Aviation Program. They
also sponsor a scholarship in memory of their son Hank. We are very grateful to
them for their support of the Fly-in/Drive-in and the RAYAP.
Joe Reheiser, RAYAP program manager, told of the activities and accomplishments
underway with the young people enrolled in the program. Logan Parker, DGW’s
second scholarship recipient, told us of what it has meant to him. He has
earned his private pilot certificate and is starting college in the fall
majoring in aviation management at Middle Georgia State University. Ellie
McGinnis, the first scholarship recipient, could not attend due to her high
school graduation.
DGW vice-president Joe Reid brought us up-to-date on DGW affairs and advised of
the rescheduled Nashville reunion to Aug. 12-16. More information will be
forthcoming. Also, plans are in progress for the DGW Christmas party.
Harry Ballance followed the announcements with a PowerPoint presentation on the
restoration of “Miss Scarlett,” his classic 1934 Stinson SR-5A. He was awarded
the Grand Champion-Antique award at the 2021 Sun ‘n Fun. The many details of
the aircraft’s history and restoration provided an insight into Harry’s
commitment and passion devoted to the project. At past Fly-in/Drive-in events
Harry invited attendees to see the work-in-progress; now it is complete and she
is a beautiful lady!
The Fly-in/Drive-in could not have occurred without the support of many people.
A special thanks goes out to DGW’s Board Of Directors.: Al Dvoracek, president;
Joe Reid, vice-president; Jay Coyle, secretary; Jim Baird, treasurer; and
Julian Black, membership. The RAYAP mentors and youth volunteers, listed below,
have the gratitude of all attendees.
