AVwebs weekly review of news found information about restoration of the oldest CH-47 Chinook, a video answering pilot questions on filling out the FAA medical form, Cessnas delivery of the 100th Grand Caravan EX and an expanded warranty for Penn Yan Aero engines. Building on its experience assembling and modifying Chinook helicopters, Middletown, Del.-based Summit Aviation has helped save a piece of military history by restoring the oldest surviving CH-47A Chinook helicopter for the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, Va. The restored Chinook, aircraft 59-94984, will be unveiled April 11 at the museum, less than a year after it was delivered to Summit's facility. A new EAA video answers the most common questions about the now-required MedXPress online form for FAA airmen medical certificates, including how to save time when completing the form. The video, available free of charge through EAA's video player at www.eaavideo.org, features Dr. Greg Pinnell, a member of EAA's Aeromedical Advisory Council, which consists of EAA-member physicians who volunteer their time to assist other members and guide EAA policy on aeromedical issues.
