Speak Up
Been around aviation a while? Don't miss your opportunity to
share your aviation stories at AirVenture. EAA's Timeless Voices of
Aviation video oral history program staff and volunteers will be
recording interviews throughout the week.
Under the banner, "Let No Story Go Untold," Volunteers
have been working diligently over the past three years to
permanently record firsthand accounts of the men and women who have
designed, built, tested, flown, and fought in aircraft since the
Wright Brothers' first took flight in 1903.
They are doing this to help families remember their past, to
inspire students with the ingenuity and "can-do" attitude of our
nation's aircraft designers and engineers, and to help us all
remember the sacrifices of the military veterans who have given us
our freedom.
Numerous EAA Chapters and volunteers have helped by conducting
interviews with aviation pioneers in their own hometowns, cities,
and states. Together, the program is preserving an aviation
folklore that is otherwise in danger of being lost forever.
Program staff and volunteers will be recording interviews
throughout the week. AirVenture visitors can register to tell their
stories at the Timeless Voices of Aviation tent in the Warbirds
area of the convention grounds, or at the Development Pavilion just
southeast of the FAA control tower.
You're invited to stop by and learn more about this important
heritage preservation initiative of the EAA AirVenture Museum.
