A Georgia entrepreneur wants to return the Lazair ultralight to production, and with your help, Gene Yarbrough might just get it done.
ANN readers may recognize Gene's name from his reporting as a stringer during Oshkosh over the past several years. An aeronautical engineer, Gene has brought that expertise to ANN on topics ranging from high-tech engines to ultralights, which remains one of his passions.
