I don’t consider myself
particularly well equipped to write romantic
tomes, but I feel that it’s time that I write
one now in these accelerating days of our
nation. I feel particularly obligated to write
a most sincere letter of thanks to aviation in
general, and specifically to the EAA, its
personnel and members. As I walked through the
displays this year, I couldn’t help but be
stunned by not only the numbers, but the quality
of aviation products and pilots.
No matter what happens in
Washington, it appears that the aviation
community will show its mettle as it always has
in good times and bad. For the aviation
community is a prime example of “true character
in crisis.” In times of world stress and our
nation’s needs, aviation continues with
unexcelled courage of character.
Let not our hearts and
hopes be dampened with negative energy. Let us
remember our country’s goodness of spirit and
humanitarian concern. Let us all strive to
sustain the spirit of our national symbol. Let
the eagle of pride and courage forever fly on. |
