January Meeting -- Vic Syracuse
Nationally recognized home built airplane expert Vic Syracuse will present live online at our January meeting. The presentation is entitled "Buying an Experimental Aircraft". Buying a well built E-AB aircraft is a great way to get into aircraft ownership for much less than buying a factory certified airplane.
Vic has over 44 years of Aviation Experience, beginning with the U.S. Air Force in 1977 as an Avionics Maintenance Technician on U-2’s, C-130’s, UH-1 and CH-53 helicopters, and T-33’s. He has built 11 award-winning aircraft— Van’s RV-4, RV-6, RV-7A, RV-8, 2 RV-10’s, Prescott Pusher, the Kitfox Models II, IV Speedster, and 7 Super Sport, as well as a Just Aircraft Super STOL. He just finished his Hummingbird helicopter. Vic has made 36+ first flights. He is regular contributor to Sport Aviation and other aviation publications. His company, Base Leg Aviation, is a nationally-recognized expert in pre-buy examinations, condition inspections, and DAR services for amateur-built aircraft.
Our meeting is January 19th at Meriden Airport, 10 am.
