Legendary Designer and Flying Examples of His Work Honored on ConocoPhillips Plaza
Mary Jones, EAA's director of publications, called him a “pillar of the homebuilding community” as she handed him a trophy. The Zeniths to Oshkosh celebration brought dozens of flying examples of his designs to ConocoPhillips Plaza. It was all part of Chris Heintz Day at EAA AirVenture 2011, arranged to honor a designer whose planes have inspired enthusiasts worldwide.
