Here is a flashback to the 1960s. Here is a picture of Friendship Airport (1960s), now BWI.  Here is a newsletter Harry did on forgotten Maryland Airports.

Here is another forgotten airport from Maryland, Logan Field. Logan Field was just across from the Baltimore Municipal Airport.

Here is some big news in the flying car / roadable aircraft industry. Geely, parent company of Volvo Cars, has agreed to purchase the flying–car startup Terrafugia. For more information on flying cars / roadable aircraft visit Harry’s Flying Car page on the Flymall.

Harry loves to introduce aviation to young kids. Harry recently met this young boy and his grandparents at the airport. They were watching the planes. he told him it was more fun on the other side of the fence and offered to let him sit in a few planes.

This is what experienced pilots call a sucker hole. It looks like a way out between two cells until you try to fly through it.  This picture was taken at KGAI earlier in July.  Here are some more “sucker holes” via Google Images.

July had some nice weather for riding the back roads of Montgomery County in a vintage vehicle. Here’s a picture of Harry in the Lomax on the way to the Laytonsville Cruise In.  For more information on local cruise in events visit Harry’s Classic Car Cruise In page found on the Flymall.

Once again, lots of aviatrix in the news this month.

This year the original DC3 Air Racing team (Pat Kraemer, Linda, and Debi) joined up for the 2017 Air Race Classic.  However only Pat and Debi were able to fly the actual race.  This year Harry was on hand for a lot of the pre race activities.

Here is the DC3 Air Racing team at the pre race dinner.

Some pictures from the Air Race Classic BBQ at the Harry Grove Stadium in Frederick. You can click on each picture to enlarge it.

Click here for Harry’s Facebook album from the race day start activities.

You can visit the Kraemer Aviation Facebook page for numerous updates posted by Pat during the actual race.  You will need to scroll down to the end of June for the race updates.

On the wheels side of the news. Here is a Facebook find.  Meet Oklahoma Willy the Jet Powered VW Pickup .

This bit of news fits both the wheels and wings side.  Here is a car made by the Beechcraft company. 1946 Beechcraft Plainsman made by the Beech Aircraft Company  in Witchita Kansas.

Here is an update on the Hawker picnic area that Harry has been working on at the Cambridge airport.  Below is a picture of the table that Harry & Pat donated.

WIFA student Francesca had a busy month – High school graduation, pool party, and her first solo.

Here is a video from her first solo.

Francesca also got to meet a few of her future classmates at Embry Riddle. They were at the Frederick Municipal Airport for the 2017 Air Race Classic.

Harry’s friend and business owner Brenda in the news again.  Brenda owns Bravo Flight Training. Brenda has been teaching a friend’s (Lin, also a pilot and aircraft owner) mother to fly.  Carol is 82 years young and she just received her student pilot certificate.  Great job Brenda and Carol.

As an aircraft owner and pilot this picture is painful to look at.  This is why you should never leave an aircraft parked under a hangar door. It should be all the way in or all the way out and clear of the door.  Hangar doors can fail. The chain/cable can break, the counter weights can fall off, etc.  Keep the aircraft clear of the door when parked.
