Paul Poberezny Retakes Presidency of EAA
Fri, 01 Apr '05

04.01.05 Special Edition: EAA Founder Paul Poberezny surprised the
aviation world with the announcement that he has retaken the
Presidency of EAA.



Leaving retirement, the Senior Poberezny cited "the renewed need for
basic grassroots support to see the Sport Pilot program through to a
proper conclusion, the experience I have with the true rank and file
of sport aviation, and the fact that I am bored out of my skull with
retirement," for the reason that he sought and claimed the Presidency
once again.

Flanked by troops comprised of some of the more militant members of
the Antique/Classic division and a smattering of warbird flyers,
Poberezny set upon EAA HQ shortly before the opening of business,
changed the locks, and let selected staff members through after
signing a loyalty pledge promising allegiance to the Association's
founder. Over the course of the day, a majority of staffers jumped
ship (minus a number of the marketing folks) and pledged their loyalty
to Paul, as well... leaving EAA running a "little leaner and a lot
less meaner" than before, according to Paul.

Former President Tom Poberezny was nowhere to be seen. Repeated
questions were met with silence until one unnamed spokesperson noted
that, "Tommy's been sent to his room..."

EAA Spokesman Dick Knapinski said the power transfer happened,
"...swiftly and with surprisingly little bloodshed." Knapinski also
noted that the Senior Poberezny is making big plans for a "new EAA"
that includes lower admission prices for the annual Oshkosh airshow, a
renewed emphasis on cost-effective and affordable aviation, and strong
support for the Sport Pilot initiative regardless of who gets the
credit for it, or who profits from it.

Poberezny, in a short interview with ANN added that, "Aviation is
taking some hard knocks from the government, an unfriendly media, and
a world that has lost much of its fascination with flight. We're going
to get back to basics, we're going to support the grassroots of
aviation, and we'll grow slowly from there. If aviation can rediscover
its roots, maybe we can get the rest of the world interested, again,
in aviation."

I see it was dated at the beginning of April, but I don't follow you.
What are you getting at? With ole Zoomer writing it, and after all the
beef he's had with SNF, I don't know if this is truthful or some wierd
type of propaganda. The EAA website says nothing about it. And I have
seen nothing written anywhere else about this either. So I begin to
wonder. hmm..

Uh, Ted... Have you EVER heard of an April Fool's Joke??

Chuck ...I think he's zooming us ....

Announcer.... buuuut maybe Chucks wrong so who's telling the truth? Chuck or
zoom?

Announcer.....OK contestants make your pick. (Sound of ticking clock )

Announcer.....Ahh the results are in!! 99 out of 100 contestants picked
Chuck as the one telling the truth.Only one ,a guy named jaun
said zoom wasn't zooming anyone.

So if zoom can prove what he said was true jaun will win an all expense paid
trip to PR.
It's now up to zoom ...OK zoom what company did you perform test flying for?
What were the names of the planes? and dates of the tests? All those answers
should be in your logs.. (Sound of ticking clock) OK zoom are you ready? ah zoom
the answer please....Jim? where are you? No jaun you can't answer for him!! OK
zoom, name just one company you acted as test pilot for..Zoom? can you hear me?
OK,OK already ,no need to call a lawyer ,just prove what you wrote was true
....that's all...(Clock still ticking) .....

BEEEEEEP!!!!

Announcer : Well the time has run out and zoom couldn't prove what he wrote
was true. Sorry jaun,nice try. Sorry zoom you lose...WHAT!! your
calling the authorities ?? I should govern myself accordingly??
CAG what the heck is a CAG?? Are you nuts???.......

Hey Chuck,
Sounds like the mooz has been forgetting to medicate himself again.
Anderson, Gagne, Moser, Herendeen aren't they all dead I guess that we
can't ask them for the truth. Hoover is sorta alive and I don't know
about Britton, President Reagan is for sure dead.

Isn't this the same kind of zzzoomy bull sh*t that cost him his
medical before. I think the parts that he left out would be more
interesting.How about impersonating a Doctor,losing your medical for
being for being as one person said "Looney tunes",shot in the back
flying relief supplies in Ethiopia,shot in the leg breaking up a
rape,shrapnel wounds in the face from Viet Nam. We know that you know
the truth about what happened at My Lai of course you were the youngest
troop there I believe you were eight years old when that went down.
Crashing the AT-6 while flying the airshow at Arlington, hurt your back
again on that one and on and on...

You have absolutly no credibility. Even though most everyone knows as
a fact that you have a major screw loose you continue to spew you high
order bovine excrement. Increase the Prozac dosage and crawl back into
your fantasy world and of course take your phoney pal yawn with you.

I realize that it's hard to tell fact from fiction on ANN but in this case
it's an Aporil Fools joke. It's almost as funny as the time zoom said he landed
a Christen Eagle in a 48 mph X wind.Sad part it wasn't April Fools Day...
