Tom Poberezny has been the champion of recreational aviation, and we at ANN congratulate Tom for his induction into the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Even more important, his contributions to recreational aviation have overflowed into all areas of general aviation. The 69-year-old Poberezny is being honored for his diverse aviation achievements, perhaps the best-known of which is serving as EAA president for more than 20 years between 1989 and 2010.

The HY4 fuel cell aircraft is based on a Pipistrel airplane. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
