Mission Statement
The Experimental Aircraft Association is a non profit foundation geared to promote/ support the
activity of flying to the people of the world by restoration of vintage aircraft to preserve past
history and explore the possibilities of future aviation thru new designed aircraft. Our intent is
to bring potential new young pilots into the realm of aviation thru inspiration and education. The
organization wishes to aknowledge and honor our past heroic aviators who have contributed so much
in the design technology and defense of our country, (some by the supreme sacrifice).
The Y.F.P.A. (Yakovlev Fighter Pilots Association) is a new non profit organization founded to inspire
and educate the American public about the history, preservation, maintenance, flying and safety of
Eastern Bloc piston propeller driven fighters greater than 800 horsepower. Our goal is to bring a
common thread of acceptance, appreciation and understanding of these beautiful, rare hi performance
aircraft throughout our country and the world. Our members currently fly or are rebuilding Yak 3,7,9,11,Ilushin,
Lavochkin, Mig, Soko type fighter/bomber aircraft. We also have non aircraft owners and affiliated
support/maintenance parties as members and anyone is welcome to join.
* We do not endorse or promote war but wish to share our passion of flight by honoring this day
and all the serviceman attempting to preserve the freedom our country cherishes!
