Aerosente was one of the sponsors of the 2010 South Bay Soaring Society's (SBSS) Los Banos Aerotow. We provided each registrant a copy of Howard Burr's book "My Heart Soars" and a coupon for 20% off any Aerosente kit through the end of April. I also set up a booth along with Mark Scrivener of Mark's Custom Airplane Parts and we had a grand time meeting new friends while watching flight operations. The folks at SBSS did a great job at putting on the event. Here are a few photos:

Richard Smith Interviews
- Richard Smith is one of Frank's associates having worked for JASCO and contributed to his yearbooks.

Richard's account provides a fascinating look into Frank Zaic and the evolution of JASCO from a labor of love for Frank to a profitable enterprise run by his sister Christine. As Richard readily admits - these are his recollections - he doesn't claim to be the authoritative source on Frank Zaic. Just one mans account of what it was like to be around Frank back in the day...
