3 Reasons Why I Should Be The New EAA President (And 3 Why It'll Never Happen) - Plus Logo Poll from AirPigz by Martt | The news yesterday afternoon that the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Board of Directors had accepted President and CEO Rod Hightower's resignation came as a complete surprise. Interestingly, reading other avgeek facebook posts about the resignation and the comments left on the EAA's website post of the news, many people see this as a good and important step in the right direction for the organization. I would agree, to an extent. My biggest concern is that this continued sign of instability within the EAA (which in the short term seems to have been around for the last three years or so, and in the long term has been around about 25 years) might eventually lead to a real collapse of the organization. While I believe the EAA has many faults, I'm convinced that...

Aviation spreads its wings from General Aviation News by Dennis Parks | Among the many things taken for granted today is long-distance travel by jet airliners. So common is long-distance air travel that there have even been around-the-world races for general aviation aircraft. One forgets that regularly scheduled intercontinental commercial air travel only came into being after World War II. The roots of long-distance flight lie in the five years after the First World War. In the early post-war period, aviation spread its wings in ever greater long-distance flights, culminating in the first round-the-world flight in 1924.

POBEREZNY RETIRES AS CHAIRMAN OF EAA AND EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. — (July 26, 2011) — Tom Poberezny and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) today jointly announced that Poberezny is retiring as chairman of the association and AirVenture Oshkosh after decades of leadership and success.
Louie Andrew, vice president of the EAA Board and chairman of its Executive Committee, said the Board unanimously passed a resolution praising Poberezny for his leadership to the group and success in helping make the nonprofit organization the world’s leading aviation association. Andrew also said the Board thanked Poberezny for his many contributions in making AirVenture Oshkosh the world’s premier aviation event that draws pilots, airplanes, members and guests from around the globe every year.
Poberezny has led EAA – now in its 58th year – since 1989, when he assumed the top position after his father, Paul, retired from active day-to-day involvement. He has served as chairman of the annual EAA Convention for more than 30 years and will assume the title of chairman emeritus Aug. 1, when his retirement is effective.
“Tom, like his father, has been a visible leader for EAA and a mentor to thousands of flight enthusiasts, especially the countless young people that he has helped understand and become involved in the wonder of flight and the importance of aviation to our society,” Andrew said. “We will miss his daily involvement and valuable input, but we are happy to know that he will continue to be a good friend and an informal adviser as we move into an exciting future.”
Tom Poberezny will continue to be “the best ambassador” for EAA and its many programs.
“I am so proud of what we have been able to accomplish during my tenure,” he said. “From increased attendance at our convention to the expansion of our facilities and programs, I am pleased to have led the effort to set the stage for future growth.”
Poberezny added that he is especially proud of the Young Eagles program, an effort to reach out to millions of young people and introduce them to the marvel of flying and flying machines.
“The building blocks for the continued success and growth for EAA have been laid, and I look forward to helping in new and different ways in the years ahead,” he said.
Poberezny said he feels fit and enjoys the work, but added that “fresh thinking and new ideas are the fuel to propel us forward. EAA is well-positioned to step into the future with confidence, strong leadership and a promising outlook.”
Rod Hightower, current EAA president and CEO, will assume Tom Poberezny’s responsibilities. Andrew said that Hightower’s work with Poberezny over the past year prepared him well for the new duties.
“Tom has left big shoes to fill, and I’ll work hard to do my best for our members, our business partners, the aviation community and the entire Fox Valley area, especially Oshkosh,” Hightower said.
EAA embodies the spirit of aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts. EAA’s 170,000 members and 1,000 local chapters enjoy the fun and camaraderie of sharing their passion for flying, building and restoring recreational aircraft.

"DON GENTILE'S 1944 LOGBOOK" by Wade Meyers
Note: This article, which started off in 2001 as a small booklet to hand out with my One-Man Air Force prints, is ever-expanding. Between my own further research and that of my "e-army", we may just yet get it all figured out!
To my fellow 4th Fighter Group buffs, I hope the following information will prove useful and interesting. In the mid-1980s, I had the privilege of corresponding with one of Don's sons, then-Major Joseph Gentile, USAF (an F-16 Instructor Pilot!), and Joe's mother, Isabella. Both were very nice, helpful, and most cordial. Kind of gave me an insight into what a class guy Don must have been.
One of Joe's possessions is his dad's WWII logbook - what a treasure! Joe was kind enough to photocopy most of it for me. He skipped some months in 1942 and 1943, but the entries for 1944 are complete. I will reproduce these entries for you here, along ...
