Running up the RV3
This RV-3a was built by Brad Overholzer and is an excellent high quality aircraft. We have overhauled about everything. New panel with GRT EFIS with two axis autopilot and many new gauges. |
A new Toy
The RV-3a is a hoot to fly. Very responsive, fast and light to the touch. |
Memorial Flight for a neighbor gone West.

Gathering speed departing the Airpark, September 2011 |
On June 5, 2011 we flew a *missing man formation* flight for one of our oldest residents during his memorial here. Jim Williams was a close friend and fellow pilot here for 35 years. Flying lead is Brian Lloyd in Tyson Essenmacher's Yak-52, I am #2 in the CJ-6a, and that is Julie Clark in her T-34 flying #3, and in the Super Swift is Gerry Hampton flying in #4 position. |

The Runway is *Public Use*, 4050 foot long, paved and lighted with a PLASI. The identifier is Oscar 61.

Cameron Airpark in the 1960's
Take a look at how the Airpark started some 35+ years ago. This shot is taken on short final to runway 13. Not much there to look at back then. |
Cameron Airpark aerial picture
This is a birds eye view of one of the finest Airparks in the country. At 1286 feet MSL it's above the valley fog yet below the Sierra snow line. Included is a 4000 ft paved (RWY 13 ), lighted and fenced runway, 100 foot wide paved taxiways and a whole bunch of pilots that like the same stuff! Why drive home from the airport when you can just FLY HOME!. Lots start at about $160,000. for a good level homesite. Home prices are all over the board depending on size, age, condition, location, etc... The range can be as wide as $250,000. to $850,000. or more. As in any neighborhood there are current events and ongoing issues involving subjects like the maintenance of facilities, financial condition of the District, obstruction lighting project, recreational and educational opportunities, etc. that anyone considering living here should become aware of. That said, Airpark living offers utility, convienience, intrigue and much enjoyment. |
Nanchang CJ-6a we call *Betty*
*Betty* is a Chinese flight training aircraft designed by Bushi Chiang in the late 1950's and is still produced today in Nanchang China. I was a partner with Brian Lloyd, who is responsible for the importing and restoration of this reliable, fun aircraft. This is an honest and balanced design with no bad habits but the systems are a bit different. Pneumatics instead of hydraulics make things move, and the 9 cylinder radial engine has 285 hp and starts with airpressure. Temps and pressure readings are in the metric system. |
Departing Cameron Airpark
Nanchang CJ-6a departing runway 31 at Cameron. There is one fuel self serve FBO, two aircraft maintenance companies, restaurants, car rental and available tiedowns here. The Airpark is governed by its own five member elected Board of Directors. Yearly airpark dues are just $300.00 per year now, but I expect that to go up substancially in the future. The Taxiways/streets have been completely repaved and are like new. There is a 20 yr bond payment of approx. $975./year, billed with property taxes. Also, many residents help by volonteering for Airpark projects. |
