Bob, Kim, Jenny, Sandy and Dan recently jetted
off to Las Vegas to attend the 2013 Phillips Mar-
keting Conference and Trade Show. At the
show’s Gala Event, Showalter Flying Service re-
ceived the “Lifetime Achievement Award in Avia-
tion” Fuels from Phillips. It was a tremendous
honor to be selected for this award out of 875
Phillips Branded FBO’s! We deeply value our
relationship with Phillips and are proud to pro-
vide their fuel to our customers.
At the conference, Phillips highlighted their deep dedication to aviation fuels, in-
cluding 100LL which almost all other oil companies have stopped producing. It was
reassuring to hear economists and experts share their view that 100LL isn't going
anywhere anytime soon despite the attempts of environmental groups and others
hoping for its demise. Phillips’ commitment to producing and providing aviation
fuels far into the future is just one of the many reasons we love our brand.

2. Page 2The Fly Paper
Today we fly to Sebring. This is a good exer-
cise in “pilotage,” that is, map reading. While
a very savvy student could find the way there
by using only VOR, it would be a real chal-
lenge for most – especially considering the
class bravo and restricted airspaces that
must be avoided. It’s hard enough just look-
ing out the window and interpreting the sec-
tional chart. (A GPS user could probably find
it without violating someone’s airspace, if
only he could resist the gnawing urge to go direct-to.)
Lakes usually make terrible landmarks for pilotage since so many look alike, but
this route offers some distinctively shaped ones that Club Flying veterans may
remember: Sea Horse, We’re Number One, the Letter D, Mister Hankey… Along
the way we observe details shown on the chart: there’s that railroad, there’s that
“street pattern” (a failed subdivision), there’s the football powerhouse town of
Frostproof, oh look at that tiny grass airstrip, tower, tower, tower, is that highway
27?, there’s Bok Tower (wives love that place – arts and crap), okay there’s Avon
Park so turn to one four zero and keep Mister Hankey on your left. That sort of
thing. Pure fun.
It’s the reason many of us learned to fly so long ago: just looking out the window
at our little world.
“Soaring bird at twelve o’clock! Hard over!” Carter hauls on the yoke and we are
saved again. “I think that was a bald eagle.”
And thereby the Escadrille Apopkaine finds itself over Sebring and its adjacent
road race track. Oh look – they’re racing today.
Many years ago my mother and I came through here. Sebring was a European
“formula one” raceway. Unlike NASCAR, where everyone merely turns left while
swilling beer and shouting “wooooo,” formula one is a true road race, turning both
ways and accelerating and decelerating as needed. Short accelerating straighta-
ways followed by hair-raising hairpin turns. Oh, the names! Juan Manuel Fangio,
Nino Farina, Phil Hill, Graham Hill, Emerson Fittipaldi. Stirling Moss, who taught us
all to drive ten-and-two.
Local babes would turn out in their hair helmets, with blouses’ shirttails tied at the
waist and stretchy Capri pants. Now, in 2013, some of the babes are still here, and
still wearing the Capri pants, but the effect is quite different.
The restaurant has lots of great pictures from the 1940s, when Sebring was a
training and staging base for WWII.
Carter orders the burger. I have the patty melt, as I did in 1956. They are good
enough that we plan another visit.
The trip north to home is easier, for now the chart reads right-side-up. This leaves
time for bittersweet memories of back then, and how not only the babes but we
also have been transformed. With navigation a breeze, there is plenty of room for
contemplation: how we got here and where to go now.
Lodi’s Lowdown
Lunch With Carter-Sebring Municipal Airport (SEF), JR’s Runway Café
by: John Nadon
The Lodi’s Lowdown for the month
of April was correctly answered by
Nicholas Musashe, Dave Gardner
and Patrick Denton! Pan American
Airways was the first airline provid-
ing non-stop transatlantic mail ser-
vice in a Boeing 314 Clipper in
1939.
The question for June is:
How many years has
Showalter Flying Service been
a Phillips 66 Branded FBO?
