EAA President Tom Poberezny -- like all the leaders of
aviation's alphabet groups -- has been working hard to beef up the
image of general aviation in the general media. As you know, the
industry took quite a number of hits after 9/11, on issues ranging
from airport security to ADIZ incursions. Is that work paying off?
On today's ANN Special Report Aero-Cast, Poberezny tells ANN's Jim
Campbell that... it is.
Florida residents commuting along Interstate 4 between Orlando
and Tampa did a double take Wednesday... and not for the reason
they once did. Whereas the sight of a DC-3 on its nose -- complete
with a dangling paratrooper hanging out the back -- once alarmed
some residents, many are now asking where the hapless G. Willie and
his plane have disappeared to.
"They were warriors. They are veterans. What they have done is
written in the pages of history. May we earn this."
