This is a 1978 set of Sport Aviation—the official magazine of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and a time capsule of homebuilt and sport flying culture.
If you love experimental aircraft, airport history, and practical builder talk, these issues read like a hangar conversation that never ended. Inside you’ll find photo-heavy features, member aircraft spotlights, and the kind of technical storytelling that defined the era.
A full year of 1978 aviation culture—add it to your shelf (or your coffee table) and let it start conversations.
