Breezy Project

The Breezy was designed by pilots as a purist’s airplane: to ride out in the open air in the most thrilling way possible — and adding an I-can’t-believe-I-just-went-up-in-that-thing flavor to an already amazing experience. It was created back in 1964 when EAAers Carl Unger, Charley Roloff, and Bob Liposky built the prototype as a way to recapture the thrilling basics of “what’s real” in flight — and in doing so created a masterpiece that invited great flying adventures and a following even they could not foresee.

Breezy Project

Thanks to a very generous donation by Poplar Grove Airport owners Steve & Tina Thomas, EAA Chapter 1414 has begun the restoration of a Breezy!

The 3 seat aircraft will be used for Young Eagle rides for those wanting the ultimate open-air flying experience!

Stay tuned for pictures of our project and updates on its progress.
