EAA Experimenter 17
A BEAUTIFUL AMATEUR-BUILT airplane called El
Ese landed on Runway 36 at Wittman Airport
with little fanfare two days before the beginning
of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014. The builder,
Dennis Crowley, had fl own the Just Aircraft
Escapade 1,600 miles from his home in Tucson,
Arizona. His plan was to arrive early and stay
late to avoid the mad rush of arrivals and depar-
tures. He had been to AirVenture before but
never with an airplane. During the week, the
Escapade was displayed in the Fun Fly Zone
next to the Ultralight runway; it was mobbed
every day by spectators who couldn't help but
admire the style, fi nish, and appointments.
