EAA Sport Aviation

I pour over

Sport Aviation.

Meet Bill Near.

He recently completed his dream building project, an RV-7A, with the help and dedication of his wife and son. Bill also passed on a tradition to his son that his dad started with him.

“My dad was into airplane building, and was always working on an airplane when I was growing up. We started going to Oshkosh when I was in high school, and I joined EAA when I first started medical school. I enjoy everything that EAA has to offer. They are the forefront of legislation and innovation.” Bill gets out once a week to fly and tries to find a fly-in breakfast or lunch to attend. He also plans to carry on the Oshkosh tradition, and has Oshkosh 2010 slated for his family’s next big cross-country trip—but not before he sneaks in Sun ’n Fun.

Why Bill reads EAA Sport Aviation…

“I pour over Sport Aviation. I read the comments about specific types of devices and the pros and cons. I recently put a GPS and a glass panel in my plane, and I made those decisions based on what I saw in Sport Aviation. The more information that’s out there, the better I can make a decision.”
