EAA Flying High

摘要

The U.S. sport flying industry is forecast to grow stronger by the end of this decade as more affordable aircraft promise to cut the cost of personal flying. "The sport and recreational aviation industry is very healthy," says Tom Poberezny, president of the Experimental Aircraft Assn. (EAA). The association, which boasts more than 170,000 members and 1,000 chapters worldwide, is headquartered in Oshkosh, Wis., and focuses on development of amateur-built designs. It also promotes programs aimed at making flight more affordable to the public.
