Young Eagles Day is coming up again!
On June 5th, 2010 Chapter 132 of the EAA will be giving free airplane rides to children. Come join us on June 5th, weather permitting, at the Elkhart Municipal Airport. Flights usually start at around 9am and signups will be taken until noon.
If you have a group of children, Boy or Girl Scout Troop, or any group at all, please call in advance so that we can try to schedule larger groups around each other.
Terrafugia has flown their “roadable” aircraft on March 5th, 2009. Not really a flying car, it is not design to replace the car, but rather to expand the uses of an airplane. The Transition is expected to cost about $190,000 and be available in 2011.. $10,000 fully refundable deposits are being accepted now and a line is forming..
The wings are folded and unfolded electricly and the plane must be on the ground with the engine off to operate the folding motors. The plane is powered by an automotive engine that runs on premium gasoline and features dual controls to allow standard controls for driving and standard controls for flying.
