![]() "Vaughn Simon" wrote in message ... "Reggie" wrote in message ... 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). Your point in regards to our second-generation President may be well taken, I don't recall him having the aviation background to match his father's; but there is more to experimental aviation than homebuilding. Classics, warbirds & Light Sport should come quickly to mind, but did you know that many gliders are registered Experimental even though they may be factory made? Perhaps that is why many of the glider pilots I have met over the years are members of the EAA, even though they get precious little coverage in the EAA magizine. To me, the EAA has always represented the "little guy" in aviation better and more directly than any other organization. Vaughn Vaughn: I'm missing something. How does the word Experimental tie into Warbirds, Classics, and Light Sport? What category do the factory built "Experimental" gliders fall under? Exhibition? It seems to me that EAA is really flying under false colors. A more representative name eludes me but it sure wouldn't be Experimental based on what I see in the magazine and the EAA video from Oshkosh as well as the focus every year at show center. Indeed one year the EAA video did not even mention the award winners, but did have Mooneys and Beechcraft aircraft shown. I do agree that EAA does the best job in defending us from our "Elected" Representatives and because of that reason alone I maintain my membership. Stu |
