  • What is the EAA?
    The Experimental Aircraft Association, simply known as the EAA, is a world recognized organization of aircraft designers, builders, test pilots, people who love to fly, and those who are just plain interested in aviation.
  • For one week every year The EAA holds the World's largest fly-in at Oshkosh Wisconsin. Although officially renamed AirVenture, to those of us who regularly make the trip it will always be referred to as Oshkosh! For that one week Whitman Field at Oshkosh becomes the busiest airport in the world. For the week of AirVenture, Whitman Field has more movements per day than Chicago's O'Hare Airport and they do it with just two active runways and during daylight hours only.  It's not unusual to see as many as 25 airplanes in the pattern at one time.

     There may be as many as 12,000 aircraft attending the fly-in with both civilian and military aircraft represented from around the world.

  • Personal Information

    Who am I?

    What do I do for Work?


    Motto:!
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
    Lack of ambition (or money), not necessity, is the mother of invention!
    The American Dream exists ONLY in the heart and mind and can be achieved only with Ambition and Imagination!

    Questions and Observations!
    How many people do you know that will spend fifteen dollars, to drive twenty miles, to save two dollars on a five dollar item?

    People will spend thousands to save hundreds? Governments will spend Billions to save Millions! Don't blame them -- They're us!

    Of course you could get out and vote ?

    All these mottoes and observations and I don't even have a bumper sticker!
