Say Hello To Pete Combs!
With the final days before the official start to EAA AirVenture
2006 counting down all too rapidly... and, not quickly enough...
ANN's senior staff is all-too-aware of the Herculean task ahead of
us in reporting EVERYTHING that's news at The World's Greatest
Aviation Celebration.
Fortunately, this year we'll have some help... and some really
GREAT help at that. As we've already told you, Aero-News is
bringing its largest staff EVER to AirVenture this year... and over
the next several days, we thought we'd take the time to introduce
you to the staff members -- both full-time, as well as our
"stringers" -- who will be bringing our readers and listeners all
the news that's fit to pixilate from Oshkosh this year.
And now, without further adieu...
Pete Combs
Pete Combs, ANN’s Senior Editor, is an award-winning
broadcaster with more than 30-years’ experience. He’s
covered stories that range from tornadoes in the Midwest to
hurricanes in the Southeast. In fact, Pete won four AP awards for
his hurricane coverage in Florida in 2004 and is a mainstay on
network newscasts when the weather gets rough.
Now a CBS Radio News reporter and a local correspondent at WBT
Radio in Charlotte, Pete is an IFR pilot with over a thousand
hours’ experience in the air. His interviews with newsmakers
in aviation are a mainstay of our aero-briefings and ANN special
reports. Pete came to Aero-News as an associate editor in 2003 and
quickly rose (with surprisingly little bloodshed…) to become
Senior Editor – first overseeing our print site and now
leading ANN’s Aero-Cast program.
Pete lives near Charlotte, NC. His son, Daniel, lives in
Seattle.
Stay tuned as we introduce more of our stringers and staffers in
days to come!
