Oshkosh is just hours away and ANN is thick in the middle of the most extensive coverage prep in the business. Look! Up in the Sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane!

On Wednesday, two Congressional Subcommittees were talking aviation. The Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation held a hearing on the General Accounting Office’s report entitled, “General Aviation Security: Weaknesses Exist in TSA’s Process for Ensuring Foreign Flight Students Do Not Pose a Security Threat.” America’s top 50 competitive hot air balloonists and their crews are converging on Longview, Texas for the Balloon Federation of America’s U.S. National Championship.
