BRENT ANDERSON, a past president and longtime member of EAA Chapter 105 passed away October 25, 2023, after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Kathleen Birchfield. Brent built an RV-4 which first flew in 2000. He made several innovations, including a custom cooling plenum, retractable tie-down rings, a custom elevator trim wheel, and his Tail Lynx tail-wheel springs adopted by many RV builders. He made several trips to Oshkosh (Airventure) in the aircraft, in company with other members of the Home Wing and EAA Chapter 105. He was the leader of the RV-12 build in the chapter’s hangar G1 and became the basis of the flying club in hangar G2 at Twin Oaks Airpark. He was a regular on the First Saturday of the Month chapter breakfast crew, and also an early mentor in the Teen Flight program. He was a leader and asset of EAA Chapter 105 and will be sorely missed.
Brent Anderson Goes West – EAA105 is hosting a Celebration of Life for Brent Anderson on Sunday, December 3rd at 2pm at the TwinOaks Airpark Breakfast Hangar.
