RUTAN VARIEZE
Innovative construction, design and appearance, plus spectacular performance, made N7EZ (the very first VariEze) a sensation at the 1975 EAA Oshkosh Fly-In. That year, N7EZ also set a world closed-course distance record of 1,638 miles, flying for 13 hours eight minutes and 45 seconds on just 40 gallons of fuel. Designer Burt Rutan soon followed up with the larger Long-Ez, which set many world records. By late 1983, over 4,300 VariEzes and Long-EZ’s had been built or were under construction.

“I Learned about Flying from That”- by: Barry Ross

For the past 25 years Barry has illustrated Flying magazine’s monthly feature “I Learned About Flying From That”. These accounts of pilot’s sometimes hair-raising, sometimes funny and always educational experiences are the basis for the paintings that are featured here. He has tried to evoke both the risk and thrill of flight, capture the moment when things have gone awry, and yet give the viewer a hopeful feeling that the crisis will be satisfactorily resolved.
