Hi All
I am sad to announced that I just parted ways with my dear Europa which was kit
A224.
I built it with Russell Lepre and Bud Yerly's guidance and flew it happily for
over 16 years.
Family circumstances dictated that I sell the home and hangar I built at GA2,
aka Peach State Aerodrome airpark and move north to New Jersey.
It was a wonderful experience.
Some years back, Ron Alexander started what was, at the time, a unique program
for high school kids at GA2. We taught kids to restore antique and classic aircraft.
For each 10 hours worked in the shop, we gave the youth a free hour of flight instruction
including free CFI time. I was one of the first mentors volunteering to work with
the kids.
The program has been enormously successful and has served as the template for many
other
programs around the country. We have had about 30 kids to my knowledge get their
Private Rating,
a few have gotten A&P ratings, Instrument and Commercial too. In order to help
maintain
a healthy operating budget, I donated my dear N224XS to the program.
I expect it will, in due course, come up for sale and the proceeds will help defray
the operating
costs of the "Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program."
If you are looking for a Europa Trigear with a near zero time rebuilt 912S, this
will be a great choice!

Ira N224XS

As many in the Europa community have known, I am an FAA Designated Senior Aviation
Medical Examiner.
Over the years, I have, off list, or in person, helped a number of Europa Owners
get,
or maintain Special Issuance Medical certificates.
While I have permanently closed my Georgia AME practice and am currently not doing
exams,
if a member of this list is having problems with their local AME or OKC, I would
be happy to offer advice.
Happy Holidays and fly Safe,
Ira
