ONTARIO

Aerial acrobatics are the highlightof the day at the 2012 Ontario AirFaire Saturday at the Ontario air-port.

Ontario Air Faire organizer RogerSmith, Payette, said this year’s eventwill be similar to past years.

The event kicks off with enter-tainment and a breakfast at 8 a.m.and runs through the afternoon.The breakfast, which is cooked andserved by Air Faire supporters, isall-you-can-eat and includes pan-cakes, eggs, sausage, juice and cof-fee. The cost is $5, which helps sup-port the event.

The opening ceremony for theevent begins at 9:45 a.m., which willinclude the Star Spangled Banner,the Veteran Advocates of Ore-IdaCommunity Color Guard and apresentation by retired airline pilotCurt Hawkins in remembrance ofthe Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,Smith said.

Musical entertainment for the dayincludes the Gem State Fiddlersfrom 8 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. andChicken Road Dinner from 9 a.m.until the opening ceremony. Afterthe opening ceremony, the JuniorJammers, featuring youth fiddlers,begins at 10:30 a.m. followed by the

Howl’n Coyote Band at 11:40 a.m.,Rockabilly at 12:50 p.m. andDestiny Taylor and Curt Hawkinsat 1:50 p.m.

“So we pretty well have things allday,” Smith said.

The main attractions, however,will be the performances. Two aer-obatic pilots will race through theskies in the morning: Todd Therp,flying his Pitts bi-plane, followed byMark Petersen in a P-51 Mustang.There will then be a radio-controlaircraft demonstration from mem-bers of the local aircraft club.Airspace will be opened for out-of-town visitors who flew in from12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m., and thenaerial performances begin againwith John Bagley, f lying a P-51Mustang “Ole Yeller.” This year’sfeatured act is Bud Granley, in hishigh-powered Yak.

Smith said the last act takes placeat 2:45 p.m., and the fair is prettymuch over by 3 p.m., but people arewelcome to stay after and look atthe other displays.

Among the displays are MissionAviation Fellowship from Nampa,which will bring a small model air-plane that motors around and is al-ways a favorite with children, Smithsaid.

“We do cater to the kids,” Smithsaid. “We want it to be a family day.”

Ontario resident Merle Main’swar birds are also a featured attrac-tion among the static displays.Others include Cub Gear ofOntario, which will be featuring allits light-weight backcountry gear;Van’s RV Aircraft will have a dis-play; Jabiru Northwest with a lightsport aircraft models; theChristmas in September displaywill feature Christmas decorationsto support Meals on Wheels andHelp Them to Hope; VAOI willhave a booth with information onthe organization and services andprograms for active duty and veter-an service members; and theNational Weather Service in Boisewill also have a booth to providefree information on weather safetyand services available.

While, in the past, the Air Faire

has been an annual event, Smithsaid he thinks, if this year goes well,it will become a bi-annual event in-stead. Last year, the event was can-celled so it did not conflict with theair show in Mountain Home.

Smith said he hopes this Air Fairewill be the best yet. Admission, hesaid, is only $5 for most people,which is the lowest in the area forair shows. The event is free for chil-dren 12 and younger and for mem-bers of the military and their fami-lies. There will also be food ven-dors, and parking is free — availableoff of Sixth Street and FourthAvenue, although parking dona-tions are gladly accepted, Smithsaid.

“I hope we have 6,000 people orbetter,” he said. “We’ve come closeto that.”

Air Faire exciting for all

Flying has been a part of BudGranley’s life since we was 9 yearsold.

He and his brothers were outsideplaying when they saw a TigerMoth bi-plane land on their uncle’sfarm.

They ran to see the airplane andwere amazed to find that the pilotwas their father, who had secretlyearned his pilot’s license. Their fa-ther made a career of f lying andsaw his three sons begin their livesin aviation.

Of his two brothers, one went in-to crop spraying; the other into cor-porate, where he won the esteemedCanadian McKee trophy in 1990.

Granley joined the RoyalCanadian Air Force in 1956 after

earning his wings with a RoyalCanadian Air Cadet scholarship.Granley was awarded honor scrollsat both basic and advanced flyingschools.

Granley flew the F-86 Sabre inBaden-Baden, Germany, and was amember of the Canadian gunneryteam which won the NATO compe-tition for the third straight year.

Granley was selected to be thebase solo demonstration pilot onthe T-6 Harvard, beginning his ca-reer as an air show pilot.

A civilian, who had purchased aWorld War II surplus P-40 for $150,asked Granley to fly his plane at lo-cal airshows. This was Granley’s in-troduction to WWII type aircraft,which he still flies. Granley becamean A-1 instructor, and served inStandards flight and as base instru-ment check pilot.

“The events are scripted,”Granley said. “You know what youhave to do. You have to thinkthrough it and try not to scare your-self.”

Granley flew for United Airlinesuntil retiring in 1997. He has beendoing airshows since 1961.

“The airshows are quick, very dif-ferent from United Airlines,”Granley said. “We’d fly from SanFrancisco to Hong Kong and be upin the air for 14 hours. The landingintensity is the same though.”

Granley has six children, three ofhis sons served in the Canadian

Armed Forces. Of those three, two flew with the

Snowbird aerobatic team and arenow airline pilots, Ross, withUnited, and Chris, with AirCanada. The other, Bob, chose theNavy and is now a captain withRoyal Caribbean.

Granley’s daughter, Deb, f lies a737 for Alaska Airlines.

“I took them to airshows whenthey were kids and they really gotinto it,” Granley said. “They’vebeen around flying their entirelives.”

Flying is a way to serve up excitement for Granley

The love of mechanics, WorldWar II era planes, flying and evenaerobatic competition flying hasbeen in Todd Therp’s heart since achild and now at 49 he’s been fol-lowing his passions since highschool.

Therp, of Rigby, Idaho, has been amechanic since 1983 and works ona variety of planes, he said. He alsostarted flying planes in high schooland has been participating in showsfor decades now.

“I work, or actually volunteer, atthe Legacy Flight Museum in Rigby,Idaho,” Therp said. “I work onplanes there and help keep themmaintained. This also helps to keepmy ratings current.”

Therp said that he especially en-joys working on old World War IIaircraft and that particular hobbyallows him to meet all kinds of needpeople, including veteran pilotswho flew during that war.

Since he was a child, Therp haswanted to fly planes and now thathe’s been a pilot for years he saidthat he loves the flight aerobaticsthe most.

“I love roller coasters,” Therpsaid. “Basically aerobatics is like aroller coaster times 10. It’s quite arush!”

Therp’s aircraft of choice is a PittsS2, a biplane designed specificallyfor aerobatics, and he will be usingthis plane to fly in this year’sOntario Air Faire September 8.Since this is a two-seater airplane,Therp said it allows him the abilityto take all kinds of people up in theair and do some aerobatics. He saidpeople either love it, or hate it andthat there is no in-between.

As far as the Ontario Air Fairegoes it gives Therp the opportunityto meet lots of neat people, he said.This will be his second time per-forming at this location and he saidthat he was treated great by every-one that he met there.

Air shows are unique becausethey allow him to promote aviation,Therp said. Most that he goes to aresmall and many are free which al-lows families to come and get in-volved. He takes children and oth-ers for rides and mentioned thatsome of the children he’s givenrides to in the past of gone on to gettheir own pilot licenses when they

Bagley first took to the skies at a young ageCHERISE KAECHELEARGUS OBSERVER

ONTARIO

John Bagley became a pilot whenhe was 17 years old. Now, nearly 50years later, he is still going strongand his love for flying has just got-ten stronger.

Bagley, who is from Rexburg,Idaho, has participated in theOntario Air Faire for eight years.

“I was 4 years old and a planewent in the field by my house, andI was hooked,” Bagley said.

He now owns 10 airplanes andcalls it “stupidity,” but he said it’sbecome his passion in life.

Ole Yeller, which is a P-51DMustang that Bagley will have at theOntario Air Faire, holds the 1985prop plane speed record from LosAngeles, Calif. to Dayton Beach,Fla. It took the plane 5 hours and 20

minutes to make the trip.Bagley enjoys the old war air-

planes. He said it’s the mystique inflying a WWII fighter.

He also likes to pay tribute to “theveterans who died for our country.They flew these planes and foughtfor our freedom,” he said. “It’s a wayto honor those people — to keepthese planes flying.”

Bagley also opened an air museumin Rexburg in 2006 so people canenjoy the old war planes.

Bagley has participated in morethan 1,000 air shows includingshows in Ohio, California, Boise,Idaho Falls, Utah, Wyoming,Montana, Canada and Mexico.

“It is the great escape. The greatrelaxation. It brings peace to thesoul,” he said about flying.

He flies on a daily basis, using itfor work. He invests in developing

ground and building on it.It doesn’t matter where he flies,

he said, everywhere he flies is his fa-vorite place.

“I just love to fly,” he said.Bagley quoted Leonardo DiVinci

as a sort of motto he lives by, “Onceyou have tasted flight, you will walk

the earth with your eyes turned sky-ward for there you have been, andthere you will long to return.”

“That’s how I feel,” he said. For more information about

Bagley’s museum go to:http://www.legacyflightmuse-um.com/Default.aspx.

Flying has been a part of Boiseresident Mark Peterson’s life eversince he can remember and today,flying is a what he loves to do.

“My dad put me on a couple ofboat cushions in a Cherokee 140and that did it,” Peterson said.“Ever since then I can not getenough flying.”

Peterson owns and flies a P-51Mustang known as theDiamondback and has been flyingit for the past seven years.

“It really is a lot of fun to fly,”Peterson said.

Peterson said flying the P-51 is alot like flying any other propellerairplanes of today’s era, but the P-51does have more power.

“The biggest difference in an air-plane like this, as beautiful as the P-51 sounds on the outside, inside afriend of mine once said it soundslike your sitting in the middle of anangry sewing machine,” Petersonsaid.

Peterson also has time in the cock-pit of other airplanes as well, suchas some modern day jets like theCessna Citation, the GermanAlpha Jet and the Canadian Husky.Peterson said the he enjoys flying allof his planes.

“Each airplane has its own specialunique qualities,” Peterson said. “Inthe Husky, you can take off andland in two (hundred) or 300 feet.In the Alpha Jet I can go 530 to 540knots. In the Citation I can go to45,000 feet and fly for five hoursand take five or six friends along.”

Peterson said, however, theMustang has a special place in hisheart because of the history of theplane.

“There are times after I land, Iwill sit in the cockpit for 10 to 15minutes and just think about howlucky I am to fly such a plane withso much history behind it,”Peterson said.

Peterson’s Diamondback will beon display at the Ontario Air Fairewhere Peterson will get to show offhis plane in the sky.

“This will be my second OntarioAir Faire,” Peterson said. “It’s ashow I love to do because it’s soclose. It’s a fun little show to do.”

Peterson said he loves to show offhis P-51.

“I just love to see the looks on peo-ple’s face when they hear the P-51fly by,” Peterson said.

The P-51 Diamondback whichPeterson owns was sold in 1958 toa private owner and was raced from1964 until 1993 under severalnames including the Reno RacerStiletto and in 1984 this plane wonthe Unlimited Gold at a speed of437.6 mph.

However, in 1979, the plane

crashed and was destroyed, but in1984, was rebuilt and continued torace.

In 1997, the plane was restored toa stock TF-51 Mustang. Then in1998, the Mustang was sold againto Bob Jepson and the Lady AliceCorporation and the Stallion 51Maintenance team in Kissimmee,Fla., put the finishing touches onthe aircraft before having it paintedin authentic colors of the 356thFighter Group, 360th Fighter

Merle Maine donated one of hisRussian-built military planes to theWarhawk Museum in Nampa, butthere will still be plenty to see at theOntario Air Faire Saturday, asMaine will still have a number ofmilitary jets, mainly of U.S. makeson display.

Maine’s jet have been the center-piece of the Air Faire for a numberof years, and one of the jets is oneof only two F-5 Skylancer NASAtest planes ever built. The other isat the Neil Armstrong Air & SpaceMuseum In Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Ironically, both planes were testbeds for two programs no longeroperational.

In an article printed in the ArgusObserver in 2006, Roger Smith,chairman for the Air Faire, said helearned in talking to FredDrinkwater Jr., a former NASAtest pilot, that Maine’s Skylancerhad been a test bed for the super-

sonic Concorde, all which havebeen retired. The other one, nowhoused in the Ohio museum, was atest bed for a shuttle wing.

“It’s one of the main draws for theAir Faire,” Smith said of Maine’sprivate collection. “He has some re-al rare airplanes.”

Maine donated a Russian-madeMiG 21 to the Nampa Museum. AMig 19 and 32 will be parked on theapron at the Ontario Airport forAir Faire.

Other planes in the collection in-clude an A-4 Skyhawk, F-7FTigercat, T-28A Trojan, T-33Shooting Star, MK-35 Vampire, L-39C Albatros, A86A/L Sabrejet, F-111 Aardvark, S2 A-7 Corsair IIand a F-104.

“The F-111 is the only privatelyowned (one) in the world,” Smithsaid.

Others are in museums where thegovernment could take them back,but this one is Maine’s, Smith said.

“It’s pretty impressive.”

LOGAN, UTAH

Brad Wursten, out of Logan,Utah, will be bringing high-energyand high-speed aerobatics to theOntario Air Faire Saturday.

“I f ly for the shear fun of it,”Wursten said.

Wursten has been flying for 12years, f lying aerobatics for morethan six years and has been per-forming at air shows for aroundthree years. He is married and hastwo daughters.

Even though Wursten loves to fly,his wife is not quite so enthusiastic.Wursten said some people just cannot handle flying in a small planeand can get sick.

“In the beginning, I use to get sickand was sick for more than a day.But now, the harder I push, the bet-

ter it feels,” Wursten said.At an early age, Wursten showed

an interest in aviation. At the age of8, he started flying model airplanesand to this day still flies them. Heeventually received his pilot’s li-cense and accompanied his fatheraround the country for his father’sbusiness. His father was the ownerof a machine shop, which Wurstennow runs and flies in airshows forfun.

He brings with him two differentplanes: One is the MXS-R and theother is a Extra 300L.

The MXS-R is the one that he fliesat the shows and it is a single seat,carbon fiber aircraft that is verylight and packs a lot of horsepowerand has a striking paint scheme.

“It looks like a model airplane butlarger,” Wursten said.

The Extra 300 is a two-seater

made in Germany.He travels to airshows in the west-

ern part of the United States gener-ally 400 to 500 miles from his home

in Logan.To view his plane and to see his

schedule, visit poweraddictionair-shows.com
