Experimental Aircraft Information started as a faint idea in the back of my head. This idea came from the fact that friends were asking me questions like: "John, I'm planning a flight to airport such and such on this or that date. Do you know where to find the info for airport ......" I'm sure you recognize this. Anyway, questions like this had me looking on the Internet and Googling a lot (see Wikipedia: to Google).

During this time the idea came to mind to create a website with information and links to weather, AIS sites and information on flight planning and articles on building homebuilt aircraft. I work in ICT for a living thus creating websites, using FTP programs and a HTML / PHP / JavaScript editor was not a very big obstacle. Combine this with my experience working as a flight instructor and also building a couple of experimental aircraft the last number of years or so. It was no surprise that I started this website.

Oh, well..

My education was (how surprisingly) also in aviation. I studied at the Nederlands Luchtvaart College, it was called Anthony Fokker School back then. My study was computer science with aircraft instruments, electrical and other systems. I spent my military days in The Royal Netherlands Air Force.. somehow these airplanes keep popping up in my life... :-)

Anyway, I hope this site will be useful to you. Have fun reading, flying, building and stay tuned for updates.
