From Elisabeth and Albert Zeller
The end of the year is with us already. Once again I would like to thank all of the people who have contributed information and advice to this website. There will be a couple of new features to play with early in January so stay tuned.

OE-APY at a fly-in in Germany
and now flying over the Missouri river near St. Louis. Andrew King has started flying off the FAA phase 1 requirement and reports that APY flys "basically hands off."
If Andrew looks a little cold it is because it is November and he has been flying T 5000 feet!
Congratulations John. The aircraft is going to be a sensation in the Creve Coeur area next year :)

Some Lovely Jungmeister Flying by David Martin

The American Jungmeisters
- Details
Known as "American Jungmeisters" or "Price Jungmeisters" each aircraft produced was different in some way from its siblings. They have flown with radial engines, four and six cylinder flat engines and even an Allison turbo prop. Although the Bu133 was a single seat aircraft of course, some aircraft were built with a second seat, or "jump seat" behind the pilot. That space could also be used for baggage or an extra fuel/smoke oil tank.

The control system and tailwheel were typically simplified, perhaps because the plans that were produced were a little short of details in some areas. I heard a story that in places the plans were simply annotated with phrases such as "Make this like a Luscombe" :)
Charlie Lamb's N72CL as flown by Frank Price at a fly-in in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. By that time
it had a 300 HP six cylinder Lycoming engine installed. The a/c is now owned and shown by
Jerry Wells.
Any way you look at it. these are interesting aircraft and an important part of Bücker history. I would like to learn as much as I can about them and record it here before the details are forgotten.
If you have any memories, stories or pictures of the Price Jungmeisters, would you please drop me an email? I look forward to being able to publish something in the near future.

Bückers & BBQ 2023
- Details
Again this year, William and Cleve Cox have offered to host the event at Cox Field.
There is plenty of hangar space available and a nice 10 passenger van for transportation. The runway is 3300 ft long, 150 ft wide and with nice green grass. The airspace is clear and aerobatics are encouraged.
Food will be provided by the hosts. A shopping trip to Barefoot Landing is scheduled for Saturday for the spouses who need a break from all the airplane talk. Myrtle Beach is only 20 minutes away.
Lodging:
There are a few spots available in the farm house on the airport, however if you would prefer more modern accommodations, the best/nearest hotel is:
Hampton Inn North Myrtle Beach
2112 Little River Neck Rd
North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
Phone: (843) 249-1997
I would strongly suggest getting your reservations early. There is a lot happening in Myrtle Beach this year.
There is also a Winery just down the street from the airport:
The Winery has rooms available.
The airport identifier is N81. As you can see, Cox Field is plenty long and wide for Bucker operations.
The airfield is just about on the North/South Carolina border with Myrtle Beach being the nearest city.
Let us know if you will be attending. Hope to see you soon !!
