The Experimental Aircraft Association’s Tri-Motor Ford at Spirit of St. Louis Airport gets ready for passengers. The plane had been there all weekend but, on this day, due to high winds, it did not fly. This looked like a fun experience, and I decided to sign up for the event. My interest was more than the ride. A family friend had one of the EAA’s kit planes known as the Baby Ace. This plane was on floats and was of particular interest to Paul Poberezney, President of the EAA. Since we spent summers where the plane was kept, we spent time with Paul and watched him do stunts with the Baby Ace. Later, I attended one of EAA’s “Fly-Ins” in Rockford Illinois where I few in a contraption called a Breezy (a frame with a motor and wings). It lived up to its name.
