Vintage Homebuilts — Part 2 of 3: Volmer VJ-22 Sportsman

By Mike Davenport, Langley, British Columbia This Volmer VJ-22 Sportsman is registered as CF-EBY, a nice touch considering the builder’s last name is Eby. This wooden amphibian was designed by Volmer Jensen in the late ‘60s and was built by Bill Eby over a period of five years. Bill first flew the VJ-22 in 1970, […] The post Vintage Homebuilts — Part 2 of 3: Volmer VJ-22 Sportsman first appeared on Hangar Flying.

Another quick round of questions and answers

It’s time for another Questions and Answers session. I started this series a few years back, when a reader asked if there was a way to pose aviation questions outside of specific posts. I’d love for this to become a more regular feature but for that I need more questions! The format is simple: post…

EAA’s Attic — Captain EAAgle Mascot

This piece originally ran in the September 2025 issue of EAA Sport Aviation magazine. This mascot costume is that of Captain EAAgle, the EAA Aviation Foundation’s mascot during the 1980s.

Transferring Knowledge

By Steve Krog, EAA 173799 This piece originally ran in Steve’s Classic Instructor column in the September 2025 issue of EAA Sport Aviation magazine. I wrote an article several months ago about the lack of common sense I’ve observed in airport surroundings. This was not meant to point fingers at anyone. Rather, in today’s environment, […] The post Transferring Knowledge first appeared on Hangar Flying.

The Connections We Make

By Kristi Dunks, EAA Lifetime 689578, Vintage 732804 I probably come by it naturally given that my dad was a truckdriver for most of his life, but I must admit that the fun and connections I could find in driving thousands of miles to support my aviation dreams had not occurred to me. It all […] The post The Connections We Make first appeared on Hangar Flying.

Good Riddance, Southwest’s Open Seating (Trip Report)

Yes, it was a quick u-turn compared to my trip report on the flight up to Oakland. Open seating worked great for us then, but it was a different story on the return. In reality, I’m pretty happy to see assigned seating come to the airline. The morning of our return started very early. We...

I Will Miss Southwest’s Open Seating (Trip Report)

I’ve hit the age where it’s time to start celebrating half centuries. This time, my wife and I headed up to Napa to go join a friend for his 50th. You’d think I would have flown Alaska to get my elite status, but… no. For the flights we would have taken to Santa Rosa, the...

Seattle’s Second Terminal Gets Closer to a Green Light

Building anything related to an airport in the US is nearly impossible. If you’re lucky, it will take years and cost an absurd amount of money. After a long, long road, it seems that Seattle/Tacoma (SEA) has now passed one of the big remaining hurdles standing in the way of its next phase of growth....
