Capt Jess Shryak Stagger Wing Beech
A Fly In was held at Capt Jess Shryak's airport 25 miles North of Downtown Ft. Worth Tx. today May 20,2006.
Lots of Antique Aircraft Flew In.
Also Many Antique Cars showed up.
It was a thing of the past.
Fantastic:
The Texas Antique Aircraft Association went to Jess's Nursing home loaded him in a car and transported him as his wheel chair to his airport.
Jess really enjoyed the 3 hours he was on his property.
Let's all say a prayer for Capt Jess.
He can't laugh anymore.
Reporting on the day.
Randy Foster Flight Engineer AAL.
Once in a while something is created that establishes a concept and all other things that follow merely attempt to capture the quality and capability of the original. Walter Beech began the Beech Aircraft Company in Wichita Kansas in the pit of the depression, 1932. His first aircraft was the non-retractable version of the aircraft shown above. From then on general aviation would measure all aircraft against this machine and those that followed it, as the standard. As a Cessna 172 and 182 owner, my boys and I worked with our engineer for annuals and 100 hour inspections and he would frequently remark that this or that part was deficient because it was not up to the standards of a "real" aircraft, a "Beechcraft."

I guess I'm glad I didn't know Jess was in bad shape. He can't laugh? Is his mind gone, or what?
