Richard Smith Interviews

  • Richard Smith is one of Frank's associates having worked for JASCO and contributed to his yearbooks. Below is an interview I conducted with Richard about his experiences working for JASCO and more specifically his relationship with Frank Zaic. 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...

Howard Burr's "My Heart Soars"

It is quite often the smallest treasures that generate the greatest pleasure. I feel this way after reading Howard Burr's "My Heart Soars" which is a recollection of his lifetime of soaring. Burr's little book is the real deal providing a personal accounting of his firsthand experience from crewing for Martin Schempp to being a valued member of the Schweizer Aircraft Company to his induction into the National Soaring Hall of Fame. If you are interested in soaring I guarantee you will not put down this book. You'll learn the details behind the development of Howard's beloved "Brigadoon" and you'll follow his efforts working in top secret to help develop America's first jet-powered aircraft. This little treasure is 73 pages in length. We have a limited quantity available. They sell for $9.95 + $2.50 for shipping and handling. Click here to purchase "My Heart Soars".
