Spoof makes rounds on the ‘net
What’s UpBy LeRoy Cook
As we enter the transition leading to spring, we can expect mixing of warm and cold air masses to complicate our flying life. Thus it was on Saturday morning, when the Fliars Club was to observe its breakfast fly-out. Cold air at the surface was being over-riden by warm air from the south and it was so foggy we couldn’t see the hangars from the highway. And in mid-March we lose an hour of morning to Daylight Saving Time, which will make it worse.
Some transient traffic showed up last week as better weather prevailed. A Piper Cherokee Challenger showed up on Thursday; unfortunately, it blew a tire during the landing rollout, so the runway was blocked until Manager Chris Hall took charge of retrieval and repairs. A Cirrus SR-22 came in earlier and a Piper Twin Comanche stopped by. Locally, Les Gorden made a brief hop in the Beech Twin Bonanza, Jim and Diane Ferguson made a grandparent trip to Indiana in their Cessna Skylane, Lance Dirks exercised a Cessna 150, Brandt Hall was out in his Genesis homebuilt, I took recurrent training in the Cessna Skyhawk and Roy Conley flew his experimental gyrocopter.
A new private pilot was created on Tuesday when Dayne Kedigh of Nevada accomplished his Private checkride with Designed Examiner David Bradley at Boonville. He overcame all shortcomings and came home a winner, now able to pursue his dream of family travel and airplane ownership. Congratulations, Dayne, as you explore your hard won privileges.
In a spoof making the rounds of the internet, it was reported that United Airlines announced the arrival of their new environmentally-friendly single-engine Boeing 777 at a press conference last Tuesday. This comes after a successful test flight on Saturday, February 13, at Denver International airport.United said the new airliner, dubbed the "777 Eco," will be twice as energy efficient, due to having 50% fewer engines. In addition to lower carbon emissions, the plane will also provide a much quieter ride for passengers seated on the right side of the cabin. An accompanying photo shows a triple-seven with only one engine, on its left wing.
Reader and former Bates County resident Charles O’Rear commented about our “too cold for starting” report two weeks ago, telling how his flight instructor Ray Anderson warmed up his Cessna 140’s engine back in the late 1950s. They just put a flex hose attached to a car exhaust into the engine compartment, letting it thaw about a bit before cranking up. It worked, he said.
We wanted to know, in last week’s column, what eccentric Bill Lear, whose Lear Jet was just one of his creations, named his daughter. Reader Patricia Ortstadt knew the answer; the unfortunate child had to answer to Shanda Lear as she grew up. For next week’s brain teaser, we are asking why Navy pilots have no trouble remembering the color of their airplane’s right-wing position light. Your answer can be sent to kochhaus1@gmail.com.

Update: Missing man found dead in Amsterdam
When they arrived it had appeared that the family member had guest so Rogers did not want to stop. Rogers had her drop him off down the road approximately one mile from the family residence. Rogers exited the vehicle leaving his phone and wallet inside. The wife stated the last time she saw him he was walking south in the road.
On February 11th teams of deputies responded to the area and began to go door to door to locate anyone who may have seen Rogers in the area. Due to extremely cold weather, two drones were deployed to cover as much ground in the area as fast as possible. During the search a family member was located and stated that on the day prior he had searched for him and observed footprints traveling south along the side of the road.
The family member took deputies to the area where they located the footprints and followed them south to J highway. It was believed that he may have gotten into a car at J Highway. During the search deputies received information about a possible sighting of a male who resembled Rogers at Pete’s in Rich Hill Mo.
Deputies responded to Pete’s and reviewed video. The video was shown to the spouse who agreed that the subject had similar clothing, same walking and behavior patterns as Rogers. The male subject walks off camera behind Pete’s toward the car wash. Search efforts were then concentrated to the Rich Hill area. Detectives filed for search warrants on phone records, contacted known associates, family in other states and his employer.
On Saturday February 27th, The Sheriff’s Office received a call from a property owner who stated that they found a male subject deceased near a pond behind their residence in the area where Rogers was last seen in Amsterdam. The subject was found a few feet from the water laying up under a cedar tree. The physical and clothing description matches that of Rogers. Rogers spouse was notified by detectives. At this point there does not appear to be any foul play suspected.
The male subject was turned over to the Bates County Coroner where an autopsy has been scheduled.
