Dear Friends,
I am writing to all readers, but especially EAA staff who may be able to help.
During the Theater in the Woods event, when the rotorcraft awards were announced, photos and perhaps...
There is a problem with how the awards were posted. It looks like different groups handed in their results using their own terminology and the list was merely posted without any editing. So some...

It is actually a clever diversion tactic by management to keep termites away from the vintage and other wooden aircraft in and around the museum and Pioneer Airport.
We all know that termites will...
Marty... yes, I do plan to add three chapters to the book. Hot Air Ballooning, Gyroplanes and Airpark Life will be the subjects. Thank you for saying you would be willing to read the book whether...
I would have loved to meet Johnny Miller. I grew up in NY not far from him and had heard stories about him seeing Glenn Curtiss fly while still in curls. I also heard about his flights between the...
This is a multi-question post with something for everyone...
1. Wondering how many people here fly gyroplanes?
2. If yes, do you fly under part 103 or do you hold a certificate for gyros?

I do not think that anyone mentioned Wings, the first winner of the Academy Award for best picture. Both Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers were pilots in their private lives. I believe it was also the...
