Successful Flight Hours

Long-EZ N97EZ first graced the skies in June of 1985 – coincidentally the same month and year I was born! Unfortunately, in 2010 she suffered an engine failure in the dark Texas night resulting in a forced landing into a freshly plowed field. Both pilot and passenger walked away unharmed, but N97EZ would never fly again. The canard was destroyed, the F22 bulkhead and nose were seperated from the fuselage, and the main landing gear was completely torn off. She was later subjected to vandalism and theft while in storage, and was considered by many to be ‘too far gone’. While the original airframe may never fly again, my goal is to construct a new airplane using several pieces and parts from the original N97EZ.
