2 2 Accomplishment: Congratulations, Phil Polstra, CFII 2019 Flight Instructor of the Year for the FAA Harrisburg District Above, Phil, in front row far left, with one of his many ground school classes. So, you want to be a flight instructor! Flight instructing requires more than just showing a student pilot what levers to pull and which buttons to push. It s far more than teaching someone the principles of lift, drag, thrust and weight. A truly good flight instructor knows how to overcome a student s frustration with inspiration and discouragement with motivation. Instructing someone on how to fly is not just a matter of do what I say, it often requires creative methods of conveying an idea and demonstrating impressionable examples. Most importantly, a good flight instructor instills in all
3 3 student pilots the awareness that acquiring a pilot certificate is not the ultimate goal; it is a license to keep learning. On Friday, March 29, 2019 at 6:00 pm, at the Bloomsburg Airport, a local flight instructor will be recognized for his dedication and commitment in teaching these skills and much more. Phil Polstra is receiving the 2019 Flight Instructor of the Year Award for the FAA Harrisburg District. Presenting the award is John Sibole, Jr., FAASTeam Manager from the FSDO office in Harrisburg. After acquiring his private pilot s certificate in 1991, Phil continued learning, too, by obtaining his instrument, commercial, CFI and CF II certificates all in 2001, as well as his ground instructor rating, both AGI and IGI. Before my wife, Tamara, and I had any children and while I had the money and time, I convinced her it was a good time to get my ratings, Phil remarked. I may not have as good an opportunity again. So, I banged them out pretty fast. With more than 3,000 hours of total flight time logged, over 2,000 hours of it is in flight instructing. And, having recently achieved a Private Pilot Helicopter rating, Phil plans to pursue his Instrument and Commercial ratings and CFI for helicopters this year as well. If that s not enough, Phil also has a complex and high-performance endorsement, a USA Remote Pilot certificate, a Mechanic/Repairman Certificate for Airframe, Powerplant and Inspection Authorization. Broadening his aviation resume in avionics, Phil also holds an FCC GROL Radar endorsement and, in skydiving, a USPA (United States Parachute Associations) Skydiver A license (1999), USPA B license (2017), USPA Coach Rating (2018) and anticipates getting a USPA C license this year. Phil stated, I really enjoy instructing. It gives me the opportunity to fly more. Phil went on to say, I look at it as a part-time job providing addition income right now, and later, a source of retirement income, too. As the Safety Officer for the Parlor City Flying Club, AKA, Bloomsburg Flying Club, at the Bloomsburg Airport, Phil performs all plane checkout flights, demonstrates aircraft operations to perspective club members, gives safety talks at the monthly club meetings and provides free instruction for members needing flight reviews, instrument proficiency checks or members who just want to fly with a CFI that are not current or need to sharpen their skills. Years ago, working at McDonalds as a team leader to my present job at Bloomsburg University, there has always been a teaching aspect to my work, stated Phil, then adding, Flight instructing is just another extension of teaching. In addition, to providing instructions for Parlor City Flying Club members, Phil is also available to instruct other airplane owners. He has also provided numerous 18-hour Private Pilot and Instrument Pilot ground schools at the Bloomsburg Airport. All of which have been free of charge. At the Poconos Skydivers Club, Phil checks out new pilots in the drop zone aircraft, provides high performance endorsements for pilots needing them and instructs pilots on jump pilot
4 4 operations. He is also an active pilot there, logging hundreds of hours each year, performing drop zone flights. Recently, Phil spoke at a DEFCON Security Conference, talking about airline security at one of the largest such conferences on the subject in the world. In his presentation, he put to rest several of the myths that surfaced following the disappearance of Malaysia Airline Flight 370. With over 3,000 people in attendance at the conference, the presentation was also streamed live and was recorded. Over 10,000 people have seen Phil s talk on this topic. As an Assistant Professor at the University of Dubuque, , in Dubuque, Iowa, Phil taught classes in aviation. From 2001 through 2014, he was Chief Flight Instructor and Owner of Phil s Flying Enterprises, Inc., while living in Kennesaw, Georgia and Dubuque, Iowa. Here he developed the curriculum for all ratings offered and oversaw all the school s flight instructors. In addition, Phil also built and maintained a Zenith CH601HDS and earned his repairman certificate. Needless to say, with so much involvement in aviation, Phil also holds memberships in the following organizations: The Experiment Aircraft Association, National Association of Flight Instructors, and the United States Parachute Association. Today, Dr. Philip A. Polstra, Sr., is a full- time tenured professor of Digital Forensics at Bloomsburg University and has established the Polstra Family Enterprises Inc., where he is Owner, Pilot, and Flight Instructor of the organization. It is here, too, where Phil spends time away from aviation with his children, Kathryn, age 13 and Phil Jr., 10, making You Tube shows in woodworking and electronics. When asked what he had in mind in the future, Phil quickly replied, More flight instructing, and, perhaps a flight school like I had in Georgia and Iowa He went on to say, I see a need for a helicopter club and instruction, too. The closest one to Bloomsburg is in Smoketown and that s a two hour drive away. Asked to explain why he instructs, Phil paused a moment and replied, Seeing people experience aviation for the first time is exciting for me too. Being a part of getting someone to solo and achieve a pilot s license is rewarding. Besides, he said, I found the best way to learn something new is to teach someone else. Congratulations Phil upon receiving this very special award. No doubt there are many, many past, current and future pilots that would like to say congratulations, too. Perhaps more than that, they would like to say, thank you for all you ve done to help them make their dreams come true. Submitted by Dave Ruckle
5 5 Recently Completed Event: Sekisui hosts managers meeting at N13 On behalf of the Town of Bloomsburg, and myself as Airport Coordinator, we would like to thank Sekisui for your ongoing support! We look forward to hosting you in the future. Remember when. In the summer of 1946, when I had just turned fourteen, I had my first airplane ride at the Bloomsburg Airport. The pilot was my cousin, Raymond Miller, who had recently returned home from serving with the United States Army Air Corp. The plane was a Piper Cub. The canvas sides flapped, and the control cables were exposed. But my cousin put me at ease by demonstrating that one can fly a plane using no hands! As we became airborne, I could see my cousin, Tom Johnson, standing with our bicycles next to a hangar. Tom and I, along with a slew of other kids, were regular visitors to the airport. When Harry Magee owned the facility, my dad, Ralph M. Miller, an employee of Magee Carpet Co., worked part-time in the airport café. The kids liked the way dad made sandwiches: he would cut them diagonally rather than straight across. The P-51 Mustang was my favorite fighter plane. So, I was thrilled to see one in person when it landed at the Bloomsburg Airport. That was probably near or just after- the end of WWII. One of our neighbors on the 500 block of W. Third Street was an instructor with the Navy V-12 program. He was a Chief Petty Officer, who always took time to talk with us kids; his wife was an
6 6 attractive lady who served us lemonade, but it was Champ their Irish setter, a kid-friendly dog that we kids just loved. Gastonia, NC, my wife s home town, is where we now live, and have since As a soldier and then a police officer, I have flown in various types of aircraft, but the most exciting and memorable ride was the one in that Piper Cub, with my cousin (my hero) at the controls. Three years ago, we had the pleasure of visiting the airport with my son, his wife and their children. Our granddaughter was three at the time; our grandson was seven. When they saw the flood water marker, they were amazed at the height of the flood waters. Ralph Miller On December 27, 2008, I received and printed this from Ralph Miller. I ve never met Mr. Miller, either before or since, but was thankful that he took the time to write and share his memories of the Bloomsburg airport with me. Like so many things over the years, I put it away and forgot about it. Recently, while cleaning out a closet, I came across a box of old newspapers, magazines and file folders full of articles and clippings I put away for another day. You know important stuff. Well, you guessed it; there was Mr. Miller s letter. Not a lot of the items in that box will be rediscovered in another 10 years, but this letter will, and I hope if it s not me, someone else with a passion for the Bloomsburg airport finds it. Meanwhile, I don t think Mr. Miller will mind me sharing his memories with you readers of this newsletter and friends of the Bloomsburg Airport, too. Enjoy! Submitted by Dave Ruckle On Left: Piper Cub, much like the one to which Ralph was referring in his
7 7 This Month in Aviation History March 1, 1933 United States Air Commerce Regulations are amended to increase the flying time required for a pilot s license from 10 hours to 50 hours. March 2, 1969 After a lengthy succession of taxi and runway tests, the first prototype Concorde 001 makes its first flight, with Andre Turcat at the controls. The flight lasts 29 minutes. March 4, 1909 President William Howard Taft approves Congressional Gold Medal for the Wright brothers. March 5, 1912 Bob Fowler flies from Los Angeles, California to Jacksonville, Florida. The west to east coast-to-coast journey has taken four months to complete. March 6, 1935 U.S. Secretary of Commerce signs a special Air Traffic Regulation that prohibits air flights over parts of Washington, D.C. March 8, 1910 Elise Deroche, the colorful self-styled Baroness Raymonde de Laroche, becomes the first woman in the world to receive a pilot s license in Paris. On right and below, Elise Deroche
8 8 March 13, U.S. interest in flight is so popular that courses in aviation are being taught at this point in 14,000 of America s 25,686 high schools. March 21, The French government authorizes the formation of the Escadrille Americaine (later Lafayette Escadrille) made up American volunteer pilots. March 22, high schools are selected to start the new Junior ROTC program. March 24, American woman air record-breaker Jacqueline Cochran achieves a woman s altitude record of 30,052 ft. 5 inches over Palm Spring, California in a Beech Model 17. March 27-28, Martin Jensen sets world solo duration record of 35 hours 33 minutes 20 seconds, flying over Roosevelt Field, Long Island New York in a Bellanca with a Wright engine. March 27, Young American airmail pilot Charles A. Lindbergh registers his entry in the Raymond Orteig challenge for the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo. The challenge, and a $25,000 prize, was issued in 1920, but no one has so far been successful in making the flight.
