Meet
Patrick Panzera
As an EAA member and supporter,
as well as the editor and publisher of CONTACT! Magazine, Patrick
Panzera is a father of two and grandfather of two who has been happily
married to his wife, Veronica, since the age of 20. He met and wed the
love of his life while he was serving a single tour in the U.S. Navy. A
California native, Pat was formally introduced to aviation at the age
of 14 while working as a lineboy at the El Mirage gliderport. Aviation
was in his blood from birth, but didn’t take his first flight until he
was 14 or 15. Still, Pat managed to solo before he was 16 in a
Schweitzer 2-33 sailplane trainer. It wasn’t long before he
transitioned into a Schweitzer 1-26 single-place, where he was content
to remain a student pilot (lazy teenager, claimed to fear the written
and practical).
As with far too many of us who
began flying at a young age, Pat's passion had to take a back seat once
he got married and started a family. But about the time his kids were
young teens and his architectural business was well established, he was
again in a position to slip the surly bonds, this
time with a propeller affixed to the business end of the craft
involved. He initially decided to finish up his glider rating, but
after visiting the local soaring club and running the numbers for the
club buy-in, the rental cost of the ship, the price of the tow, and the
instructor fees, the cost per hour exceeded that of powered flight.
"When I was a kid, I didn’t realize how expensive soaring could be,
because I received a 40 percent employee discount on the cost of the
tow, plus the ship and instructor were free."
Pat's then new plan was to get a power
rating and add on the -G soon thereafter, but since he started flying
power and realized that an airplane was not just a toy but a tool
(allowing him to travel efficiently for his business), he didn't return
to soaring as planned. Instead, he added an instrument rating rather
than the -G. However, at the time of this writing, Pat did in fact has
returned to soaring and is a check-ride away from that -G.
No sooner did Pat begin his
powered flight training, he realized that he needed his own plane, but
wanted to build it himself. He knew a little bit about EAA and had
plenty of friends who built planes, and with professional cabinet- and
furniture-building experience under his belt - not to mention a strong
mechanical aptitude and some fiberglass tutelage from the A&P
at El Mirage - Pat figured building a plane would be right up
his alley.
After taking that introductory
powered lesson, six months elapsed before he had his private pilot’s
license. On the day he got his ticket, he found himself at the local
EAA chapter’s (1138) first meeting, where he became a charter member.
Shortly after that, he found and purchased a partially completed
Dragonfly project and began working like crazy to finish it. Not
content with the VW engine specified for the two-place, tandem-wing,
all-composite experimental, he decided to install a six-cylinder
Corvair engine.
With precious little
information or Corvair experience to draw upon, Pat ended up pioneering
the installation for a Dragonfly and a Quickie Q-2. Neither airplane
ever flew because no sooner did he get engrossed with the Corvair than
the golden opportunity to become the editor of CONTACT! fell into his
lap (and his daughter started having children...a wonderful
distraction!).
Although the magazine’s duties
have taken all of Pat's “spare” time, which has left his personal
projects to stagnate he's okay with that, as his ultimate goal was to
become totally engrossed in aviation any way he could.
With help from his friends and
the magazine’s loyal supporters, Pat has successfully grown CONTACT!
over the years. Every year, it has taken his to all the country’s major
fly-ins and many more local events, where he has developed deep
friendships with many of you.
