TAILWIND GROUP TO CELEBRATE AIRCRAFT'S 50TH
ANNIVERSARY AT EAA
AIRVENTURE ---
The year was 1953, the Experimental Aircraft
Association's first, and
founder Paul Poberezny was outside the hangar at
Curtiss-Wright Airport,
Milwaukee, talking with Steve Wittman. Soon the
discussion turned to
picking a more suitable name for Wittman's
two-year-old airplane design.
"He called it the Flying Carpet," Paul recalls. "I
said, 'Well, it's
fast,' and Steve said, "Maybe like a tail wind?' Now
that, I told him,
would be the proper name for the airplane." Fifty
years later, the
Tailwind Group, an Internet-formed group of owners,
will celebrate the
airplane's 50th birthday at-where else-EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh.
