KidVenture
There’s a special place
at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh where children can learn, play, have fun and …
you know, be kids.
KidVenture, sponsored by
Nestlé Nesquik, opens its third year at AirVenture on July 25 adjacent to
the EAA Museum and Aviation Center complex. KidVenture offers supervised,
hands-on activities for kids of all ages, each with an aviation theme.
It’s a fun and worthwhile way for kids to earn their Golden KidVenture
Wings.

Ford Motor
Company Offers Must-See Displays |
|
|
In 1999, Ford Motor Company was new to
the AirVenture family. Building on the success of AirVenture Oshkosh
1999, Ford Motor Company expanded their presence for AirVenture
Oshkosh 2000 by bringing in additional displays, offering daily
give-aways and showcasing more vehicles. |

The
Sky’s the Limit for EAA Board Member, United Pilot Julie
Savage |
|
|
It was about three minutes
before takeoff from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Julie Savage was
taking her place in an American Eagle jet. As she walked up front, a
man tugged on her shirt and asked her how old she was. Before she
could answer, his wife slapped him and told him never to ask a woman
that question. |

What
a Long Trip It’s Been |
|
|
How was your trip to EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh 2001? Did weather slow you down? Did you have to
make some unscheduled stops? If so,
you might want to compare notes with Omar Contreras and Yelitza
Mendoza. They traveled 3,710 miles, stopped at 35 airports, and were
in the air for 65 hours and 49 minutes. |

Lafayette
Storch Debuts |
|
|
The Lafayette Storch is a new kitplane
making its first appearance at AirVenture. The lightweight, aluminum
and composite Storch is a two-place design with a roomy cabin and
tall gull-wing doors for easy entry and exit. |
|
A
Shining Commitment |
|
|
What does it take to get hundreds of
square feet of aluminum to reflect light like a mirror? Kent and
Sandy Blankenburg of Pine Mountain Lake, Calif., know that it takes
commitment — tremendous commitment. Blankenburg’s Spartan Executive,
NC17667, is a shining example of that commitment. |

Galley’s
Garage Helps Sick Airplanes |
|
|
Cy Galley wants to be sure
your airplane leaves AirVenture the same way it came, in the air and
safe. As the chairman of Emergency Aircraft Repair, Galley organizes
and manages an extremely well-qualified group of volunteers, who
donate some of their time here to fixing what is
broken. |
| The
Fountain of Youth |
|
They stretch for a mile and a
half down the flight line — a banquet of eye candy in yellow,
silver, red, green, and white. There are radial engines, Rotax
engines, new designs, old designs, high wings, low wings — wings, in
fact, as far as the eye can see. |
| Sport
Pilot? |
|
The sport pilot
proposal is one of the most significant rulemaking proposals FAA has
developed for the benefit of recreational aviation in the last half
century. It offers a dramatic opportunity to open the sky to people
who’ve always wanted to fly for fun but found the process too
expensive or too time consuming. |
| Top
Air Show Pilots Flying Head-to-Head |
|
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh will
be the one and only stop for the Championship Air Show Pilots
Association (CASPA) challenge this year, featuring five of the
world’s most skilled pilots competing to determine who is the
“best.” |
| Early
Bird Gets the Choice Spots |
|
Terry and Jody Clark joke
that their plane only knows one place to go when they arrive at
AirVenture each year. That’s because the plane has been parked in
Row 1 of the North 40 for eight years before they even owned
it. |
| Hot
Enough For You? |
|
Frostbite is not usually a
problem during Wisconsin summers, but heat exhaustion, heat stroke,
and dehydration can be serious health risks when the temperature and
humidity climb into the mid-80s or 90s. |
| Chapter
234 Operating the Third ‘Welcome Wagon’ |
|
The third EAA “Welcome
Wagon,” built by members of Chapter 234 this past year from a
donated Dodge minivan, was driven to EAA Headquarters from Michigan
earlier this month and presented to EAA President and AirVenture
Chairman Tom Poberezny. |
| Volunteers
Build EAA |
|
Volunteers come to AirVenture
possessing a number of skills, and sometimes those special skills
come in “handy” when EAA needs new picnic tables, signs, or even
buildings. |
