Nearly three quarters of a century in the making, EAA is excited about the future… especially with the potential of a MOSAIC announcement within days or even sooner… At the same time, EAA has the responsibility to cater to much more of aviation, even beyond MOSAIC, and Pelton is ready to address that.

From 2014 (YouTube Edition): Alex Has An Amazing Future Ahead Of Him... Because He Wants It
It seems like most pilots love their toys, and even more so if they fly.

He spent time talking with Alex Vanover who is the Hobby Town demo pilot. While the video story is about the modeling side of aviation, Vanover’s story as a demo pilot is also unique.
