Reports on Past Dinners and Zoom meetings
Dan-TorreyThe Dreaded Annual was presented by Mr. Dan Torrey, owner of MARS Aviation, Santa Paula, CA.  Mr. Torrey is well known as a Bellanca Viking A&P with multiple award winning honors. DAFer's learned about many interesting repair jobs.  These included everything from owner assisted annuals to broken spark plugs, motor mounts, oil filters, camshafts, oil separators, bent oil filters, spinner back plates, exhaust pipes, filter screens, suction screens, seat belt data plates, propellers and a few more items!  Mr. Torrey appeared to have a bottomless bag of show and tell examples he handed around for all to see. Somehow this one small box produced many items, which seemed to appear from nowhere! It looked like he had enough parts to rebuild a whole airplane. By the end of the presentation we also learned one more phrase everyone had a good chuckle over the chorus: "Two Weeks, Send Money"!
