History Trivia:<\/strong> December 29 1800, Charles Goodyear was born. Charles Goodyear was an American self-taught chemist and manufacturing engineer who developed vulcanized rubber, for which he received patent number 3633 from the United States Patent Office on June 15, 1844. Charles Goodyear didn\u2019t found Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, however, it is named after the self taught chemist. Fast forward to 1898, 38 years after Goodyear died, Frank Seiberling founded Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, naming it in honor of Charles. The company\u2019s new automobile tires became popular due to their durability and the simple process required to change them. Our 1898 Rex Single<\/a> bicycle still has an original rear tire that is made with vulcanized rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achievements & Special Recognition<\/strong>: We have some excellent news this month for some WIFA instructors as well as for Harry<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in January, Harry presented Ameen Bsoul with his Outstanding Aviator Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between a pilot and an aviator? Here’s what I found online; An aviator is the airplane, and they move as one, while the pilot is simply manipulating the proper controls at the appropriate time and sees the airplane as a machine that he forces to do things. Pilots are just drivers. Aviators are artists of the trade. If you fly like a professional, study constantly and never push your or your aircraft’s limits unnecessarily, even if your ride is the most basic trainer, then you can call yourself an aviator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry<\/a> & Asaf also received awards from the FAA earlier in January. Harry earned the FAASTeam Rep of the Year and Asaf won Flight Instructor of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aviation\/Aviators in the news<\/strong>: January 4 1990 – On this day in aviation history: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northwest Airlines Flight 5, a domestic scheduled passenger flight from Tampa International Airport (TPA\/KTPA), Florida, to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP\/KMSP), Minnesota, operated with a Boeing 727-251, registration N280US, experienced an engine failure and separation while flying over Madison, Florida. The airplane landed at the departure airport without incident. The six crew members and 139 passengers were not injured. (145 survivors)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details: While cruising at FL350 the crew heard a bang and noted the loss of no 3 engine power. A safe emergency landing was carried out at Tampa International Airport, FL (TPA). It appeared that the forward lavatory external seal was missing the safety button and the internal seal was improperly installed allowing for leakage when the airplane was pressurized. Frozen chunks of lavatory fluid had been ingested by the no. 3 engine, causing it to separate from the fuselage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cause: “The failure of company service personnel to properly service the airplane forward lavatory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aviation section of the Flymall<\/a> is full of aviation news, training info, and much more for the aviator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nautical Notes<\/strong>: Tristan da Cunha is a cool place to visit. The island has no airport, so the only way to reach it is by sea, which can take several days from the nearest port. This is one of the few places on earth that you cannot get to by plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tankas<\/strong> or boat people<\/strong> are a group people that live on junks along the coastal waters of Southern China. Some resources state that they have been living like this for about 1300 years and that some of the Tankas have never set foot on land. Their their traditional livelihood is fishing. they were sometimes referred to as “sea gypsies” by both Chinese and British.  Their homes are floating on the sea. These boats are equipped with living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Everything starting from weddings to funerals are held on these boats. The whole life of the people of the Tanka tribe revolves around water and fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a cool story since we recently celebrated the New Year. It most likely is not true (although I am not sure). The navigation we had back then was not accurate enough. Here’s the story: The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo’s position was LAT 0\u00ba 31′ N and LONG 179 30′ W. The date was 31 December 1899. “Know what this means?” First Mate Payton broke in, “We’re only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line”. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime. He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship’s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequences of this bizarre position were many:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ship was therefore not only in: Two different days, two different months, two different years, two different seasons and in two different centuries – all at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding The Rails:<\/strong> Have you ever wondered how model trains became associated with Christmas? The Lionel Corporation was the American company that played a significant role in popularizing the Christmas train tradition. They started advertising electric model trains as gifts, often showing them encircling Christmas trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
