I photographed this Rutan Long-EZ 442 on display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, Ariz., during a visit in the spring of 2017. There is a “militarized” version called the Long-EZ Borealis, one of which I photographed at the NMoUSAF. Note Rutan’s autograph on the strut of the Long EZ #921 at Tillamook.
The Open-EZ is a free, open-source clone of the original Rutan Long-EZ plans after they were no longer sold.
