Dues are Due ~ friendly reminder for CPA members!
Please bring your tax-deductible dues payment of 25.00 to the next CPA meeting. Our next meeting will be under the EAST END trees at the picnic tables on April 10, 2021. We will be discussing our plans to move to an indoor location and have display separate from our meetings. Starting May 8, 2021 we will promote Aircraft of Historical Significance on display at the East End or in your hangar with a CPA flag from the hours of 9-11am. Then have the paperwork done after our meeting at 10:00 am. Hopefully this will enable more flying time for CPA members! |
Good Morning Corona Pilots and Friends!
The Corona Pilots Association will have our March CPA display day March 13, 2021. Board members will be available from 9-11 am at the EAST end, at the picnic tables, under the trees. Wind and Rain may cause a move, but just look for us anyway. At 11 am we will have a club meeting. We will adhere to protective guidelines as Riverside County is still not quite at the "Red" level for opening public spaces. |
Always remember to use good judgment in the rainy season - and keep a look out for a few rainbows!

Greetings Corona Pilots and friends of Corona Airport!

Be sure you have all your documents ready to submit to the County - you can also send them by email:
bpphelpdesk@asrclkrec.com
These (BOE-260-B) forms are due Monday February 15, 2021. (But, it may be that the holiday gives you one more day!)
Happy Valentines Day!

Corona Pilots Association news for AJO:
CPA members,
Rainy season is upon us, and while so far the La Niña drought forecast has been accurate, nonetheless its a good idea to be aware and prepared for any contingency.
Attached is the link to the Army Corp of Engineers website that tracks the water level behind the dam in near real time:
https://resreg.spl.usace.army.mil/cgi-bin/slB2Hgl.cgi?Prado+GOES-rev+Elev+Plot+1
At the moment (1/25/2021) we are closing in on 491’, trending up slightly over the last 2 storms. The west end of our runway is approximately 517’.
Please note the CPA is not a source of public emergency information. As friends and fellow pilots, we all can share information but ultimately we all must make our own preparations and decisions. Your leaseholder and the city of Corona are the definitive sources for information. Do not look solely to the CPA nor these emails for information and updates, be sure you have access to multiple sources and contacts.
The current forecast doesn’t appear to be a cause for alarm but in the past we have seen a series of storm events occurring in succession cause problems. Hopefully this email finds you safe and well - and now maybe a little more prepared.
Fly Safe!
WELCOME 2021!!

Hello Corona Pilots Association members, fellow pilots and friends of Corona Municipal Airport!
2020 was the year that brought the COVID 19 virus, and an essential lockdown to many businesses. Many of us started working from home, or got furloughed or even just retired! It was a crazy year! However to keep morale up and continue to participate in the display for aircraft of historical significance, the CPA was on it! Also, the CPA was able to host a BBQ with great compliance with social distancing and mask wearing. We all did a great job of keeping each other safe and healthy! |
The CPA members generously offered alternate meeting places. Open Air sign-offs and extra opportunities for display were accomplished. We were able to see a project to fruition - the new awning!
Let's all keep safe and have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! More flying fun in 2021~

Antique Aircraft and Display with tax sign off
Corona Pilots Association has an antique aircraft display every 2nd Saturday of the Month.
This is a FUN activity allowing airplane owners the opportunity to show off their pride and joy.
It is open to the public and is a great way to encourage people to join our flying community.
It is also an opportunity to receive your sign off for personal property tax exemption.
What is "getting signed off"?
If an airplane is older than 35 years and is displayed for the public 12 times a year
the individual county will exempt the personal property tax
for that year. For more information go to
"About the CPA" link above
For a list of Antique Aircraft Display Sign-Off Locations and Dates go to
"Upcoming CPA Events" link above
FLOOD SEASON IS HERE.
Here is a links to monitor the water level for Prado Dam and the airport.
http://cdec.water.ca.gov/misc/daily_res.html
Valentines Day was not very loving to the west end of the airport!
Early in the morning Temescal Creek got a little rowdy and started to overflow it's banks and the protective wall at the north end of the airport.
Hangars began to flood!
Many pilots were unaware of the situation.
Those who knew did what they could to save planes and possessions.
By early evening mother nature's wrath dissipated and the flood waters stabilized.
24 Hours later the rain had stopped, Temescal Creek was back in her channel and the water had receded from the hangars.
The only thing left was the cleaning.
- The CPA is up and flying for 2019. The first meeting of 2019 will be this Saturday the 12th at the 2 story building in the 2nd floor room at 11:30. We will be proposing the events for 2019 so if you have something you would like to do please come to the meeting and let your voice be heard.
Corona Pilots Association would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Don't forget about Aircraft Spruce's open house September 29, 2018!
Aircraft Spruce will be holding their annual open house on September 29, 2018. They will be running their courtesy shuttle from Corona Airport

Last month the CPA hosted the Corona Youth Air Fair. Thanks to the generosity of our member
Doug, there were many smiling
faces as this group experienced his beautiful Beachcraft up close and personal. After a short presentation about airplanes and flying, these young aviators politely board the airplane for a hands on look at a cock pit

Teri Lynn Carr, R I P -- 7-25-1942 to 1-13-2016
It is with great sadness that the CPA shares that Teri Lynn Catt died on January 13, 2016. Teri Lynn was a regular at the bench and CPA member in the early years.
Her only family is a sister in Garden Grove who stated "I was with her today till the end. All the beeping from the monitor machine was driving her nuts and she complained."
The end of a legend at Corona Airport.

Important!!!! FAA NEWS for KAJO:
The FAA will be replacing the AWSS with an updated system starting October 5th. As a result, the AWSS will be out of service for at least three weeks for the project installation. A NOTAM ( the allowable 3 day window prior to the project) will be issued. The project will install a cellometer, wind, speed/direction and visibility sensors. It will also upgrade the computers inside the AWSS building. Finally, the computer interface in the airport office will also be upgraded. Once completed, the AWSS will become an AWOS-C. Once completed, the broadcast should remain the same, however the sensors should be more reliable.
Please share with all users of the airport and all pilots should proceed with caution during the construction period. A NOTAM will be called in by the acting Airport Manager who reminds us: Safety Above All.

Our last Young Eagles day in April was a success. Using 3 planes we were able to provide free flights to 18 young people. Hopefully fostering an interest in aviation in them and their parents. We even got some decent press out of the event. (Copy for the article: http://m.ocregister.com/articles/flight-658956-aircraft-kids.html?)
Our next event is scheduled for Oct 17th, just 2 weeks away, and we are getting kids signed up but we are having trouble getting pilots committed to flying that day. If you could forward this to any potential pilots we would appreciate it. They can contact Ted Taylor, our YE Coordinator, using the contact info in the attached email or myself directly if interested. Pilots don't need to be members of our chapter, just general EAA members.

Happy Summer to all of our Southern California Pilots!
We had a lot of fun in June with the annual Mud Run! The CPA pilots served up a great time with The Packing House Brewery. Other representatives answered questions about the aircraft on display, and waived off incoming aircraft who were not aware of the runway being closed.
On the 4th Of July, local vintage aircraft performed a safe 'fly over' for the city of Corona festivities. Aviation is a big part of the city of Corona.
