10 Broadcaster Press September 22, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com Denny Martens Inducted into the SD Aviation Hall of Fame Denny Martens of Vermillion was inducted into the South Dakota Aviation Hall of Fame event on September 12, 2015. The ceremony was held in Black Hills Aero on the Black Hills Airport - Clyde Ice Field, Spearfish, SD. His nomination letter read: After graduation from Canistota High School in May, 1957, he was employed by Hubbard Aviation at Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls, SD, for two years. He gassed general aviation aircraft and airlines (Western, Braniff, and North Central), and worked in the shop. He started aviation training in 1957 in Cessna 120s and paid $8 an hour. He acquired his private and commercial certificates in Sioux Falls. Denny moved to Vermillion, SD, in April 1959 to work for Duane Gloss, an FBO, and earned his Flight Instructor Rating. Later he got his Instrument, Multi-engine, and Instrument Flight Instructor certificates. In 1985 he got his Airline Transport Rating. In about 1961 Denny became the manager of the Vermillion Airport. As a fixed base operator, he operated a Part 141 Flight School, an air taxi operation, and aircraft rental business. He purchased a Cessna 172 N6079A for this business and kept it when he sold out. The University of South Dakota was a customer from 1961 to 1967 when he hauled passengers for them besides his regular business. Denny was activated with the National Guard in 1961 to Fort Riley, KS, and sold his business. He gave flight instruction in Kansas in his spare time and returned to Vermillion in 1962 and bought his FBO busi- ness back. He provided pilot service to USD when they acquired their first aircraft, a Cherokee 6 in 1967. He became a full time employee in 1969 when they purchased a Piper Aztec and flew it 6,000 hours. He then flew their later model Aztec purchased in 1976 for 5,000 hours. Denny flew their Piper Navajo, purchased in 1986, until retirement in October 2002 (another 7,000 hours). USD now have a Beechcraft King Air. Sometime in the 1970s a South Dakota Flight Instructor’s Association was organized. Denny was part of the group for a few years and then was president. He served as president for two years and tried to keep instructors aware of information that was helpful to them. The group later dissolved because it was too costly for members to take time off and fly to the meetings. In 2001 he purchased a partially finished Midget Mustang and joined The Yankton Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1029 and also the Tea, SD EAA Chapter 289 to learn as much as he could from others about building an experimental aircraft. He finished the Midget Mustang 7 years later and now flies N608DM and his polished Cessna 172 N6079A. He is presently helping another pilot build a Midget Mustang in Ohio via telephone and email. He participated in Yankton Regional Aviation Association for several years and served as president for two years. He has given Young Eagle rides for them and flipped pancakes at many “Third Saturday Fly-Ins’ for the Tea, SD EAA Chapter 289 breakfasts. Since retirement he is doing consulting 1335 Pharmacist Needed 40 hours per week, no nights, no holidays, every other Saturday 9am-1pm. Two weeks paid vacation, health insurance & retirement.
