摘要

Eddie Kurdziel talks like he flies―fast, A former U.S. Navy aviator accustomed to the cockpits of carrier-based jets, he aims rapid-fire I hangar talk at fellow pilots and sunburned airshow-goers alike―and it's all about his current passion: a beautifully restored Fairey Firefly. Kurdziel is refreshingly egalitarian, a rare trait in a world of millionaires and their roped-off warbirds. At last September's Reno International Air Races, attendees could poke their heads into the Firefly's wheel wells, run their hands along its glossy gray finish, and even climb aboard―an honor seldom granted by a pilot whose aircraft is being considered for the coveted awards at stake at Reno. But the sneaker marks and fingerprints didn't matter: Kur-dziel's Firefly, which was a Grand Champion at the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture 2002 fly-in, won both the Rolls-Royce Aviation Heritage Trophy and, perhaps tellingly, the National Aviation Hall of Fame People's Choice Award.
