May 26th, 2026 - May Meeting - Dave’s RV-15
Dave Swartz hosted our May meeting at his hangar at Birchwood to show us his RV-15 project. It was well attended by about 24 of us. We enjoyed delicious hot dogs as Dave showed us the well-depicted plans and nicely-organized kit from Van’s Aircraft. Dave also discussed the interesting option and considerations of installing a diesel engine vs. a Lycoming on the project.
Thank you Dave!! Best of luck on the rest of the project!
Apr 28th, 2026 - April Meeting
The EAA Chapter 42 April meeting was held at Merril Field in Anchorage. Mark Barker gave an tour of aircraft in the airpark hanger and updated attendees on the latest changes regarding completing FAA paperwork on experimental aircraft. Bob Lee served delicious chili dogs and shared the latest upgrades on his Long-EZ. Thanks to Mark, Bob and Susan Selzer for hosting this great meeting.
Also note the chapter elections will be moved to June at Bernies picnic when I’m back in town.
Our tentative May meeting is likely to be at Dave Swartz’s Birchwood hangar to look at his RV 15 parts and maybe his flying RV -?. I will have more details and a map next week after Dave is back in town. Lars will moderate the May meeting while I’m in Denver.

Ed Kornfield shared the story of the Commemorative Air Force Wing's benefactor, Col. Mike Hunt, who donated his two WWII trainers to start the Alaskan Wing, and whose legacy and warm, charming character inspired all who knew him. The tour included the Wing's 1943 AT-6D Texan,1952 Harvard Mk IV (T-6G) and a 1946 L-13 Dragon Fly.
Ed, you did an awesome job! Thanks to Jeff Sever, AJ Bartel, and Cinimin Alsworth—all from the Wing—for great support and convos!
