Oshkosh 2008 is nearly a year behind us and the 2009 iteration
is LESS than a week away... So, while the images are still
pretty fresh in our minds (and on our video servers), we're going
to take a quick look over the daily episodes we produced at Oshkosh
2008 for the rest of this week, while our video crews get ready to
do it all again, and then some (yup, we're raising the bar again
this year... wait til you see what we have in mind for you!). We
hope you enjoy these programs as much as we enjoyed producing
them.
Herewith... Day Four of Oshkosh 2008... (with more to
come!!)
2008 has already been a year filled with innovation in the
cockpit. Avidyne chose AirVenture to show off its new Enhanced
Vision and Synthetic Vision upgrades for its Entegra system, now
featuring 15-inch displays.
Garmin has been waiting for FAA approval to turn its G600
avionics system loose in the retrofit market. At AirVenture, the
company was able to announce approval to install the system in 785
different aircraft makes and models.
In a celebration of its homebuilding roots, EAA honored a Van's
RV-9A as the 30-thousandth amateur-built aircraft to be registered
with the FAA. The lucky builder, Bill Noll of Yuma, Arizona,
had flown the plane to Oshkosh with his 17-year-old daughter,
Katrina.
One of the most anticipated forums of
any AirVenture is called "Meet The Administrator." On Thursday, FAA
Acting Administrator Robert Sturgell faced an audience full of
general aviation pilots.
Next, Aero TV will show you how EAA is
honoring women in aviation through a program being called
"WomenVenture." We'll also catch up with the pilot of the
Goodyear Blimp.
