Posted by Webmaster in : Club News , add a commentMorris Maloney has outfitted one of his planes with a live video feed from the cockpit, and here’s a video he put together of his maiden flight over CORCS… He has video goggles which display the live feed as he is flying, enabling him to fly completely via video. Simply amazing!

“One Six Right” Posted: February 23, 2008
Posted by Webmaster in : Uncategorized , add a comment
This may be old news to some of you, but “One Six Right” is a great independent film that all aviation enthusiasts should see. This documentary tells the story of aviation through the eyes of the local airport, in this case Van Nuys, California and features some of the most beautiful flying footage ever produced.
Highly recommended!
The synopsis:
One Six Right looks at the unsung hero of aviation—the local airport—through the life, history and struggle of an airport icon: Southern California’s Van Nuys Airport. Through aerial sequences and stories told by passionate pilots, air traffic controllers, historians and flight enthusiasts, including well-known faces such as Sydney Pollack, Lorenzo Lamas, Paul Moyer, Hal Fishman, Desiree Horton and many others. The film uncovers the history of the airport where Amelia Earhart broke a world speed record over its runways, and where Marilyn Monroe was discovered while working in its hangars; scenes from Casablanca were filmed on the grounds.
A historical perspective of primitive airplanes from the 1920s to the state-of-the-art business jets of today frames appreciation for the significance of all general aviation airports as a critical component of the communities they serve. Located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, VNY is today the world’s busiest general aviation airport and contributes over $1 billion each year to the southern California economy.
One Six Right explores common misconceptions about general aviation airports, which are often criticized for noise pollution and viewed as exclusive playgrounds for the rich. The film creates an awareness of the threat to these community airports through staggering statistics of airports that no longer exist, and the rapid rate at which they are continuing to close: one per week in the U.S. These smaller and often forgotten airports are the foundation of the aviation industry, contributing to global commerce and the breeding ground of the pilots of tomorrow.
New Sign Proposal Posted: February 20, 2008

Here is the proposed design for the new sign that Philip DelNero is building for the club.
Things to note, from Phil:
1. These are not necessarily the colors we would use, it is only intended to create contrast between the components making up the sign.
2. The CORCS logo will be seen from both sides and the area of the frame will be 38″ tall by 36″ wide (tip of Heli rotor to bottom of CORCS steel frame).

And big thanks to Phil for his work!
