As the page turned for 2023, students in the Vail Valley are redefining fun at 6547.4 feet (the elevation at EGE Airport), and it is not on the ski slopes. The inaugaral class of next gen aviators is working with dedicated aviation professionals and volunteers to build a Hatz 1960s light biplane designed by John Hatz for amateur construction. The Hatz Classic variant is supplied in kit form by Makelan Corporation of New Braunfels, Texas while other variants are available in plans only. See Wikapedia link, CLICK HERE.
