GET THE SKILLS
TO GET IT BUILT
“Riveting was pretty intimidating and I wasn’t sure I could build an aluminum airplane.
The EAA SportAir Workshop took all the mystery out of it and did a great
job showing just how easy it was. When I got home I ordered the quick-build
kit and four years later I was flying. Thanks to EAA SportAir Workshops for helping this
builder complete his life-long dream.” —Allen Checca, EAA #173766

CLUSTER BALLOONS ACROSS
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
JONATHAN TRAPPE, EAA 979217, who was
featured in Sport Aviation’s June issue,
has become the first person to cross the
English Channel by cluster balloon. The
22-mile journey from Ashford in the
United Kingdom to Dunkirk on France’s
western coast took Jonathan just under
five hours. Before attempting the crossing,
he received permission from both the
French and British aviation authorities and
customs and immigrations services. Winds
carried him off his intended course, and he
was forced to land in a field in Dunkirk to
avoid entering restricted airspace between
the French and Belgian border. Despite
the deviation, Jonathan was still excited
about his accomplishment. “The flight
was outstanding,” Jonathan told the Daily
Mail. “I’m tremendously proud. It’s an
outstanding thing to do.”
