Does anyone recall ANY experimental aeroplane built by the current
leader of the Experimental Aircraft Association????


The organization's name is Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), not
Homebuilt Aviation Association (HAA). snip


Homebuilt Aviation Association was considered back in 1953 when the name was
adopted. The "nameing" committee settled upon the "Experimental" Aviation
Association, since all homebuilt aircraft were licensed in a category of the
experimental classification that was created by the FAA especially for us.
That category is "Experimental - Amateur Built" and is what made the EAA
possible. Only "homebuilt" aircraft are eligible for certification in t his
special category. Warbirds and Classics are not.
