On Wednesday, EAA said Tom Poberezny will take over as chairman of the board, a position that Paul stepped down from recently, and also announced that Tom is ready to step down as president as soon as EAA finds the right replacement. Tom Poberezny said he will begin work with the board to initiate and lead a search for a new president, who will assume responsibility for day-to-day operations. As chairman, Tom Poberezny will provide ongoing counsel to the organization while focusing specifically on building EAA's endowment. "It is my goal to responsibly secure the future of this organization and provide continuity of leadership," Poberezny said.

Flying Across America: The Book from Things with Wings by Jennifer Michels
Hey, all you aviation enthusiasts and history lovers out there.
There is a new book out by Daniel L. Rust, assistant director of the Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Missouri, that is a "colorfully illustrated history of air travel, emphasizing the personal experience of commercial flight," according to the promo piece on it. Think coffee table book. Think old posters of TWA, the DC-3 and 50s-era flight attendants.
