January greetings,

Let me begin by wishing you all a Happy New Year! I hope 2013 ushers in health, happiness and prosperity for you and yours.

As we try to gauge the year ahead, there is one thing that I am certain of– there are great things in store for all of us. Here are a few thoughts to kick around as you kick off your new year:

Winston Churchill said, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

Dalai Lama XIV suggested, “Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.”

Albert Einstein proposed, “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson recommended, "Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year."

And Helen Keller affirmed, "Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties."

At CAMP, we are as ready as ever to embrace the new year. In 2013, we plan to set the bar high and challenge ourselves to exceed your expectations. As in years past, innovation and communication will be our guiding stars. We will to continue to provide the most dependable, user-friendly maintenance tracking solutions available in the marketplace. To do this, we encourage your feedback as it helps guide our team in the evolution of CAMP's products and services.

We also look foreword to exploring new partnerships that will enhance our services and your daily operations.

In 2013, we will continue to make ourselves readily available. Every year CAMP adds to its customer support dynamic to ensure that you are getting the assistance you need. Your resources include Analysts, Field Service Representatives, Regional Sales Managers and Application Support, not to mention the invaluable collaboration of CAMP's management team.

Finally, we look forward to the new relationships that we will forge, the enduring relationships that we value so much, and ultimately providing you with the tools and resources you need to be successful this year.

Before I sign-off, in the spirit of support and communication I'd like to convey the following:

First, I'm please to share that Lydia Abraham is now ready to assist our Bombardier operators in her new role as Bombardier-based Field Service Representative (FSR), Montreal. Lydia's contact information can be found to the left, in the 'CAMP Directory.'

Second, it is also my pleasure to draw your attention to our new Helicopter Industry Field Service Representative, Mike Keeling. Mike's contact info is also available in the 'Directory.'

Happy 2013!

4 CAMP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL ❖ JANUARY 2013 JANUARY 2013 ❖ CAMP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL 5

The airport privatization pilot program is designed to allow airports to generate access to sources of private capital for airport improve-ment and development. The 1996 Reauthorization Act, Title 49

United States Code §47134, authorized the Federal Aviation Administra-tion (FAA) to establish the pilot program. The 2012 Reauthorization Act increased the number of airports that could participate in the program from five to 10. The same restrictions on participation apply. Only one large hub airport can participate in the program; one of the airports must be a general aviation airport. Commercial service airports can only be leased and general aviation airports can be sold or leased. The program now permits up to 10 public airport sponsors to sell or lease an airport with certain restrictions, and to exempt the sponsor from certain federal requirements. Most com-mercial service airports in the United States are owned and operated by local or state governments. Public-use general aviation airports are both publicly and privately owned.

AIRPORTS IN THE PRIVATIZATION PROGRAM

Chicago Midway Airport (MDW)

Chicago Midway Airport (MDW), a large air carrier hub airport, owned and operated by the city of Chicago, handles more than 17 million pas-sengers and 253,000 aircraft operations (calendar year 2008). The City also owns and operates Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

Status: On Friday, December 28, the FAA received the city of Chicago’s revised preliminary application to privatize Midway International Airport. This allows the city to retain the large hub slot in the agency’s airport privati-zation program. The FAA has 30 days to review the preliminary application.

Hendry County Airglades Airport (2IS)

Airglades Airport, a general aviation reliever airport in Clewiston, Florida, is located 80 miles from Miami International Airport. The airport is owned and operated by Hendry County. The airport has a 5,603-foot runway, a general aviation terminal and hangars. Hendry County’s preliminary ap-plication was approved by the FAA on October 18, 2010.

Status:The airport sponsor is negotiating an agreement with a private operator.

Luís Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU)

Luís Muñoz Marín International Airport, a medium-hub airport is owned and operated by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority. In 2008, the airport had 4.6 million passenger boardings. The FAA approved the Authority’s pre-liminary application for the Luís Muñoz Marín International Airport on December 22, 2009.

Status:The airport sponsor published a Request for Qualifications in July 2011 and prequalified six potential bidders to submit proposals. On July 19, 2012, the Puerto Rico Ports Authority selected Aerostar Airport Holdings as the winner of a public bidding process to become the private operator of the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. The FAA held a public meeting on September 28, 2012 to hear comments on the final preliminary application

to privatize the airport. The FAA's Office of Airports expects to make a deci-sion in February 2013 on the final application for Luís Muñoz Marín Inter-national Airport to participate in the FAA's airport privatization program.

Chicago Midway, Docket Number FAA-2006-25867

Airglades, Docket Number FAA-2008-1168

Luís Muñoz Marín International, Docket Number FAA-2009-1144

AIRPORT PRIVATIZATION FACTS

What does FAA’s acceptance of the preliminary application mean? An airport sponsor who wants to participate in the airport privatization pilot program must receive preliminary FAA approval, through an application process, to reserve one of the ten slots available under the program. Once the FAA approves the preliminary application, the sponsor can select a private operator to manage the airport, negotiate an agreement with the private operator, and prepare a final application for submittal to the FAA.

Application process. A public airport sponsor and the private operator selected to purchase or lease an airport may request participation in the pilot program by filing an application for exemption under Title 49 United States Code § 47134(a).

• A public sponsor may submit a preliminary application for FAA re-view and approval. It must contain summary narratives identifying the objectives of the privatization initiative, a description of the process and a realistic timetable for completing the program, current airport financial statements, and a distribution ready copy of the request for proposal/qualifications. The FAA has 30 days to review the preliminary application.

• When the FAA approves the preliminary application, the applicant is guaranteed one of the 10 slots in the program.

• The airport sponsor may select a private operator, negotiate an agree-ment, and submit a final application to the FAA. There is no timeline for the FAA to complete its review of the final application.

• After the FAA reviews and approves the final application and lease agreement, it publishes a notice in the Federal Register for a 60-day public review and comment period.

• The FAA completes its review, prepares its Findings and Record of De-cision (ROD), addresses the public comments in the ROD, and pub-lishes the agency decision.

• If the FAA approves the privatization application in the ROD, it moni-tors the legal settlement and transfer of the airport from public owner and sponsor to the new private operator and sponsor.

Number and category of airports. The legislation authorizes 10 airports to participate in the program. At least one must be a general aviation airport

and no more than one large hub air carrier airport may participate. Under the pilot program, general aviation airports may be leased or sold, but an air carrier airport may only be leased.

Exemption from federal requirement. The 1996 Reauthorization Act permits the FAA to exempt an airport sponsor from certain requirements. First, the public airport sponsor may receive an exemption to use the lease or sale proceeds for non-airport purposes. Generally, all proceeds from the lease or sale of airport land must be used for the capital or operating costs of the airport. This exemption requires the approval of 65 percent of the air carriers at the airport (by number of carriers and by landed weight). The FAA also can exempt a public sponsor from an obligation to repay federal grants and return property acquired with federal assistance upon the lease or sale of the airport.

Conditions for granting exemptions. The FAA approval is based upon a number of conditions listed in Title 49 United States Code § 47134. These include the private operator’s ability to assume the public operator’s grant obligations, and ensure continued access to the airport on reasonable terms. The private operator must operate the airport safely, maintain and improve the airport, provide security, mitigate noise and environmental impacts, and any existing collective bargaining agreements covering airport employees may not be abrogated. The lease agreement must provide a plan for contin-ued operation of the airport in case of bankruptcy of the private operator.

Federal assistance. The private operator of an air carrier airport may re-ceive Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants, collect Passenger Facility Charges, and charge reasonable fees. Increases to airport rates and charges that exceed the Consumer Price Index require approval of 65 percent of air carriers. Private operators of general aviation airports can receive AIP discretionary grants.

Federal oversight. Air carrier airports in the pilot program must comply with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 139 and with Transportation Security Administration requirements for airport security.

Aeromedical Advances[January 2013 | Source: http://www.faa.gov/news/]

The January/February 2013 issue of FAA Safety Briefing focuses on aerospace medicine. Articles cover key issues that affect medical certification for pilots, discuss the pilot's role in this process, and

explain the FAA's responsibilities.

Among the articles in this medically-themed issue include:

• understanding what your medical can (and can’t) do for you, (pg 14)

• how to fast track your medical certificate with FAA’s online MedXPress system, (pg 20)

• what pilots should know about refractive eye surgery, (pg 24)

• and how the FAA evaluates drugs for aeromedical use, (pg 28)

There’s also a special two-page pullout infographic (pgs 18-19) that details the medical certification process.

The issue’s Nuts, Bolts, and Electrons department (pg 31) helps mechan-ics understand the risks of self-medicating, while Vertically Speaking (pg 34) looks at the effects of fatigue on rotorcraft pilots.

Flying With WAAS[December 19, 2012 | Source: http://www.faa.gov/news/]

Pilots flying all types of aircraft are now able to reach more runways in low visibility conditions than ever before. Last month, the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) program exceeded 3,000 Localizer Per-

formance with Vertical guidance (LPVs) approaches published. This is signifi-cant because of the safety and capacity benefits of WAAS-enabled approaches.

WAAS now provides vertically-guided approach capability at more than 1,500 airports, bringing aircraft to as low as 200 feet above the runway surface. Some airports do not qualify for LPVs because of obstructions or terrain. In those cases, the FAA is providing WAAS Localizer Performance (LP) proce-dures.

WAAS makes it possible for pilots to use GPS from takeoff through the equivalent of a Category I Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) approach. More than 60,000 aircraft are certified to use WAAS, which means they are capable of using Performance Based Navigation (PBN), a key component for the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The use of PBN frees aircraft from the old highways in the sky that are dependent on ground-based beacons, allowing for more direct and fuel-efficient routes. It also provides op-tions for avoiding bad weather or unexpected air traffic congestion.

Since becoming operational in 2003, WAAS has made remarkable progress. With the consistent development of LPVs and LPs, WAAS will continue to enhance safety and enable pilots to fly into places that would have been unavail-able nine years ago.

The WAAS program reached another major milestone this year when the FAA awarded the WAAS Geostationary Earth Orbit GEO Satellite Service Lease contract to Raytheon Company of Fullerton, Calif. Geostationary satel-lites provide better broadcast coverage throughout the United States.

WAAS uses three GEO satellites to broadcast the WAAS signal to users across North America. Three satellites are required to maintain WAAS availabil-ity. The current GEO satellite leased services expire between 2015 and 2017. These new WAAS GEO satellites will enable the FAA to sustain the WAAS GEO satellite constellation maintaining high availability of service to users.

FLIGHT ADVISORY: 2013 Presidential Inauguration

[December 20, 2012 | SSource: http://www.faa.gov/news/]

The planned 2013 Presidential Inauguration Festivities in Washington, DC are scheduled for January 21, 2013. At the request of the Department of Homeland Security and as part of the airspace

security measures for the event, the FAA will be modifying the Washington Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) and Washington Metropolitan Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) with additional flight restrictions between the hours of 1000-1800 local.To read the full advisory, go to: http://www.faa.gov/newsupdates/?newsId=70391


Now that yet another uncertain eco-nomic year has ended, we look to AMSTAT’s statistics to try

and make sense of the business aircraft market. During, and for quite some time after, the finan-cial downfall, AMSTAT’s information supported the idea that aircraft owners were trying to get rid of their aircraft, regardless of aircraft age. As the market slowly started to improve there was a shift in that trend. Age became a significant factor in deciding whether or not to sell an aircraft. Look-ing at both pre-owned for sale inventory, and re-tail resale activity for business jets by age segment, that trend holds true again this year.

For 2012, as has been the trend for the past twelve years, the younger segment (less than 10 years old) has a significantly lower percentage of aircraft for sale that the older segment (20+ years). However, the percentage of aircraft for sale in the younger segment has actually increased compared to last year (2011). In 2011, 8.3% of this segment

Indicators

was for sale as compared to 8.7% this past year. In the 10-20 year segment and 20+ segment the for sale inventory continued to drop. In 2011, 13.9% of the 10-20 year segment was for sale as compared to 13.5% this past year. The older seg-ment saw the same trend; in 2011, 13.9% of the 20+ segment was for sale and, as of December, only 13.5%.

Historically the older segment will see a higher rate of retail resale transactions because more aircraft are for sale. During 2012, the 20+ seg-ment saw the exact same fraction of retail sales as in 2011, 2.6%, despite the fact that fewer air-craft were for sale. The 10-20 year segment saw a significant increase in its retail sales activity with 2.9% of the market selling as compared to 2.4% in 2011. Again, this segment had fewer aircraft for sale in 2012 than in 2011. The younger mark-er, less than 10 years old, did not follow trend, as there were more aircraft for sale but fewer retail sales. During 2012 there were only 1.8% selling

as compared to 1.9% in 2011.

Asking price is always an important factor when trying to determine the climate of a par-ticular market. During 2011, prices for Light and Medium Jets were starting to level off, while the Heavy Jets saw an unexpected increase. In 2012, Medium Jets saw a significant decrease in asking price while Light and Heavy Jets leveled off. For Medium Jets, prices dropped across the board for all three age segments. In 2011, the less than 10 year old segment saw average asking prices of ap-proximately $29M, while in 2012 the segment dropped to just over $25M. The most dramatic decrease was in the 20+ segment though, where the average price was about $3.8M in 2011 and in 2012 less than $3.1M.

The younger aircraft segment still remains the healthier, more viable market, but the increase in aircraft for sale and decrease in retail sales in that market leaves us with an uncertain hope for the future.

Hawker beechcraft Sees Continued Strong Growth in Middle East business Aviation Marketnumber of business aircraft de-liveries to the middle east in-creased more than 130 percent between 2002-2006 and 2007-2011DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Dec. 11, 2012) – Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC), which is exhibiting at the 2012 Middle East Business Avia-tion (MEBA) expo this week, has highlighted the Middle East’s potential for growth in the business aviation sector over the coming years.

There are currently 626 business turbine aircraft based across the Middle East, with 246 of those (39 percent) delivered between 2006 and 20111. This compares to 106 deliveries between 2002 and 2006, representing a 132 percent increase in deliveries when analyzing the two periods.

Saudi Arabia is the most mature business avia-tion market in the Middle East, with 21 percent of the region’s business turbine aircraft based there. This is followed closely by the United Arab Emirates, which holds 17 percent of the Middle East’s business aircraft. Deliveries to these two countries increased by 146 percent and 250 per-cent respectively in the period 2007-2011 when compared to 2002-2006, indicating a continued demand for business aviation in spite of the mar-kets’ relative maturity.

“We are well positioned to benefit from an in-crease in demand in the Middle East and lead the turboprop category in the region with a market share of more than 70 percent for our King Airs,” said Scott Plumb, HBC vice president of Sales, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “In response to the growing demand for our aircraft, HBC has been strengthening our customer support net-work in the region so as to provide current and prospective customers with the highest level of service possible.”

Hawker Beechcraft recently strengthened its customer support network in the Middle East by partnering with ExecuJet, and has $5 million worth of parts warehoused in Dubai. It also has an alliance with Arabasco, which acts as an Au-thorized Service Center operating out of its base in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

(Hawker Beechcraft) today announced that the Disclosure Statement filed in connection with the company’s Joint Plan of Reorganization (POR) has been approved by the U.S. Bankrupt-cy Court for the Southern District of New York. Court approval of the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement allows Hawker Beechcraft to begin so-liciting approval of the POR from its creditors. The POR is supported by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and holders of a majority of the obligations under the company’s prepeti-tion credit facility and senior unsecured bonds have also committed to support it.

Upon its emergence from Chapter 11, the com-pany plans to enter into a new financing facility of at least $525 million, consisting of a term loan and a revolving line of credit, that will be used to repay the debtor-in-possession (DIP) post-peti-

tion credit facility, issue letters of credit to replace the DIP and fund ongoing operations.

As part of its reorganization, the company intends to rename itself Beechcraft Corporation and im-plement a business plan that focuses on its tur-boprop, piston, special mission and trainer/attack aircraft – the company’s leading products – and on its parts, maintenance, repairs and refurbish-ment businesses, all of which are profitable and have high growth potential.

Hawker beechcraft Appoints Horizontal de Aviación as New Authorized Service Cen-ter in ColombiaORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 1, 2012) – Hawker Beechcraft Global Customer Support (GCS) today announced during the 2012 National Busi-ness Aviation Association’s annual convention that it has appointed Horizontal De Aviación at Aeropuerto Internacional el Dorado in Bogotá, Colombia, as an authorized service center to support the entire line of Beechcraft King Air products.

“The Colombian aviation market is one of the fastest growing Beechcraft aviation segments in Latin America,” said Christi Tannahill, Hawker Beechcraft senior vice president, Global Cus-tomer Support. “By partnering with Horizontal De Aviación, Hawker Beechcraft owners and operators in the region will benefit from access to a highly trained team of professionals providing products and services to improve their aircraft’s performance.”

For more than 23 years, Horizontal De Aviación has provided private, civil, military and state government aircraft operators with maintenance solutions for a variety of models, including the Beechcraft King Air 90/200/300 series. In addi-tion to approval as a maintenance organization by the Colombian Civil Aviation Authority, Hori-zontal De Aviación has achieved its certification with the Federal Aviation Administration as an approved repair station. The company also has approvals from authorities in countries through-out the region such as Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Panama.

The nearly 52,000-square-foot (4,800-square-me-ter) facility offers 16,576 square feet (1,540 square meters) of hangar space, including one that is ex-clusively for paint operations and work platforms, VIP areas, classrooms and support shops. Support shop capabilities include sheet metal, electrical, hydraulics, instruments, avionics, non-destructive testing, power plant and dynamic components.

Hawker beechcraft Sets Speed Record with Multi-Mission beechcraft King Air 350ERORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 30, 2012) – Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced it has been recognized by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) for a new speed record set by its Beechcraft King Air 350ER. President of the NAA, Jonathan Gaffney, awarded the company with the official certificate at the 2012 National Business Aviation As-sociation annual convention in Orlando.

HBC’s Multi-Mission Beechcraft King Air 350ER demonstrator aircraft set the record for “Speed Over a Recognized Course” during a Sept. 11 flight at 276.03 miles per hour (444.23 km/h) from Luxor, Egypt to Nairobi, Kenya. It is a new world record, sanctioned by both the NAA and the Federation Aeronautique International (FAI) in Switzerland.

“This speed record, along with the successful world tour of the demonstrator, verifies the high performance, flight characteristics and versatility of the King Air 350ER and our commitment to the worldwide special mission market,” said Dan Keady, senior vice president, Special Missions.

The record setting flight covered 1,681 nautical miles and consumed 3,770 lbs. of fuel, about 73 percent of the total usable fuel capacity of 5,192 lbs. While this record-setting flight was done with the external configuration of a surveillance aircraft (with radome and strakes installed), in a standard King Air 350ER with the slick interior (ready for mission equipment and mission modi-fications) that same flight would leave 3,510 lbs. of useful load for crew, mission equipment and fuel reserves. This range/payload demonstration is why the aircraft is so popular for special mission applications in the U.S. and around the world.

The demonstrator is on display at NBAA this week and in May of this year made its first ap-pearance at the European Business Aviation Con-vention and Exhibition after completing a tour that covered 40,000 miles to 14 countries on five continents – all on schedule and without any un-scheduled maintenance required.

The Multi-Mission Beechcraft King Air 350ER demonstrator aircraft is a standard extended-

range airplane, which is capable of more than 12 hours endurance or more than 2,500 nautical mile range. The demonstrator has been fitted with a search radar radome with electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) lift for surveillance missions, high densi-ty seating for military transport missions, and two medical sleds and a medical storage cabinet for air ambulance missions. All of these installations are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency, and avail-able for immediate delivery on new aircraft from the factory.

Aviatrix Katherine (“Katie”) Stinson was the first woman sky-writer, first woman to

loop the loop, and first woman to fly in Canada, Japan and China. She flew day or night, set distance records, and her stunts were death-defying. She pushed herself and her aircraft to extreme limits, but never had a severe crash much less a fatal accident. Although her flying peers were mostly men, she suffered little or no discrimination as a female flier. Although she was sensational, she was not controversial, and although her exhibition flying career was dramatic, it was not traumatic. Her path was a linear series of successes, reducing the odds against her by being involved with the maintenance of her machines like no other woman flier before her. She was pleasant to work with and paid fair salaries, contributing to the struggling commerce of aviation. She hired dozens of aircraft mechanics in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. Many were famous fliers or later flew the U.S. mail - others remain obscure or unidentified. Although diverse, all were similar in one respect - to work for “Katie” Stinson you had to be the best.

Stinson was born on Valentines Day, February 14, 1893, in Alabama, the first of four children followed by Edward, Marjorie, and John (“Jack”). Their parents Emma and Edward, Sr. amicably separated and Emma raised her very young brood alone, with progressive, liberal guidance. Later in life, Katherine recalled her childhood had few restrictions or conventional “rules” separating boys from girls. An entrepreneurial businesswoman, Emma prepared all of her children to be self-supporting. She moved her family to Arkansas, where Katherine did well in school, showing an aptitude in music with aspirations of becoming a concert pianist or instructor. Without the funding for professional training, Stinson initially intended to take up exhibition flying to pay for her music career. Instead, she found a profession and a passion in flying which made her America’s sweetheart of the air.

At age 19 Katherine convinced Max Lillie at Cicero Field near Chicago,to take her on as

Aviation’s Valentinewith Giacinta Bradley KoontzInsighttothePast

his first and only female student. With three weeks of instruction, she mastered the controls and passed her flying tests for the Aero Club, becoming the fourth licensed female aviator in the U.S. on July 24, 1912. Instead of flying with a team, Katherine followed her mother’s lead as an independent entrepreneur. She bought her own aeroplane, incorporated herself as the Stinson Aviation Company, and charged a fee to see her fly. She immediately became, as author her biographer, Eileen LeBow phrased it, “an aerial superstar.” The press called her “The Flying Schoolgirl.”

Stinson’s fee for an exhibition flight rose to a thousand dollars. To keep her performances in demand she continually added new stunts. Her 5’5” - 101 lb. frame was packed with coordination and strength and she conquered the

“loop” in 1916. She added consecutive loops, “dippy twists” and invented a crowd pleaser billed as the “Wright Tango.” She demonstrated bomb drops (using flowers), made low level flights, and raced her aircraft against automobiles. She affixed light bulbs and flares to the wings which glowed as she “wrote” her initial in the night sky. She dropped toys and candy from the air to children, and distributed pamphlets for suffragette causes and for the Red Cross.

The SiblingsWatching from the airfield below

were three siblings eagerly anticipating their turn to enter “the aviation game.” With blurred if not invisible lines separating them by gender each was a tinkerer, good with designing and building something with their own hands. While in grammar school, Marjorie and Eddie fashioned a (non-functional) aeroplane out of bed sheets and wood, talents which later became obvious in their aircraft designs. As the youngest, Jack was “the helper” in family chores, absorbing the skills he needed to start the Stinson Aeroplane Company at Ohio in 1920.

By 1914, sister Marjorie had completed training at the Wright School of Flying in Ohio and became the 9th woman in the U.S. to earn her license. She was 19 when she joined her sister on the flying circuit. Eddie later earned his license, endearing himself to the public as the “Dean of the Air.”

With the Great War imminent in 1915, Katherine’s family opened the Stinson School of Flying at San Antonio, Texas. Their first students were from Canada. Exhibition flying kept Katherine on the road, while Marjorie, and later, Eddie, became instructors. Eddie doubled as a mechanic.

Stinson School of Flying relocated to Illinois and closed when all civilian flying ceased during WWI.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators in the USA, Canada, and Europe gasped with delight watching the “Flying Schoolgirl,” and she was a virtual phenomenon while touring Japan and China in 1916-1917. She created a frenzy of mass adulation, inspiring thousands of women to expand their confining social roles. Frequently photographed wearing a kimono standing next to her aeroplane, the Japanese called her the “Air Queen.”

Katherine and Marjorie both volunteered but were denied to fly for the all-male U.S. Air Corp during WWI.

Toward the end of the war, Katherine drove an ambulance for the Red Cross in Europe. Back home she successfully battled years of tuberculosis. In 1928 she married Michael Otero, Jr. and became a professional architect, living in Santa Fe, NM until her death in 1977 at the age of 64. She was remembered years later by Edith Culver who encountered her in 1916 at an air meet:

“She was America’s sweetheart of the airways at that time as surely as Mary Pickford was America’s sweetheart of the silent screen.”

Clockwise: The "San Antonio Light" newspaper of

1930 boasts the legacy left by the Stinsons.
