Terwilliger Presents Check From Oshkosh Sales
Perhaps no other film
has done more to promote the cause of general aviation as the
acclaimed documentary "One Six Right" -- and certainly, no other
aviation-related film in recent memory has received as much praise
from the flying community.
Filmmaker Brian Terwilliger recently wrapped up a nationwide
tour for his film where it all started -- at Van Nuys Airport in
California. He also had a gift for the EAA's Young Eagles
program.
At Oshkosh 2006, it was announced that each DVD copy sold during
the month of July and at AirVenture would create a $5 donation to
EAA's Young Eagles program. More than 3,000 DVDs were sold -- and
during the December 2 screening at VNY, Terwilliger presented a
check for $15,395 to EAA President Tom Poberezny.
"We're very grateful to accept this generous donation from the
makers of this wonderful film," Poberezny said. "We're also proud
to have been a catalyst in its popularity in the aviation community
by having the special screenings at EAA AirVenture. The mission
behind One Six Right and the Young Eagles program come from the
same script... the preservation and perpetuation of our shared
passion for flight."
While on the West Coast, Poberezny met with EAA Chapter members
and leaders, airport authorities, and other members of the aviation
community.
"This celebration was a homecoming of sorts for various members
of the general aviation community," Poberezny said, "I was able to
interact and lay groundwork for several EAA initiatives, including
preparations for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007."
