New EAA President.

Postby Tailspin » Wed Aug 27, 2008 2:13 pm

Hi All

Just some useless information.

On Saturday at a Special AGM for the EAA I was unanimously Voted in as president. (**)
This is rather a big responsability and there are a lot of problems that need to be sorted within the EAA to get it back to where it was many years ago.

But for now i just thought it would be good to let everybody know.

Would you like to elaborate a bit on what your job description would be like, and what areas would need attention!

WOW, FANTASTIC news Tailspin ! Congratulations and good luck for the hard work ahead, I know you will make a great difference (^^)

Looking forward to seeing the EAA going from strength to strength.

Now we just need to explain to the CAA what "Experimental" means and how it differs from "Certified" :evil:

Fly safe,

Good luck Gavin,

Thank you for accepting such a huge challenge. not many would do so.

During your office term you will be worked to death and underappreciated as hell and that is why you stand head and shoulders above me for rising to the challenge and accepting responsibility for the greater good.

I salute you.

Kind regards,

Gunter Rostek.
