Heads-up Airventure 2012

[Dan K]

In an interview from December 15, EAA President Rod Hightower alluded to planned changes in the airshow format for Airventure 2012, and (essentially) in the same breath indicated special emphasis on both the Tuskegee Airmen and the 70th Anniversary of the Doolittle raid.

What does it all mean? Will the warbirds be getting more display time? A gathering of B-25s perhaps? Speculate at will.


Here's the interview...comments regarding Airventure 2012 at about 10:20:

Hope it works out, Ken...the more round motors the merrier!

Hi New member here. I don't care what is at Airventure I will be there. Have already reserved my seat on the bus from Western Penna. Six trip back to back. With a earlier trip in a motor home. Can't get enough of the Air Show

If I could only get to one airshow, it would be Oshkosh. Going again in 2012 for my 13th year.

Good to hear it, Chris. Will your bunch and Warbird Radio be manning a booth/tent again this year? I thought your chunk of B-17 was good PR in 2011.

[mustangdriver]

We will be! It was nice having a base of operation to chill with coolers and stuff. We will be going up for the week again. Not sure if the tail stinger will be there but we are planning other cool displays.

Looking forward to my 34th straight AirVenture!

The more medium heavies the better!

Al is the only guy I know that is 34 making his 34th Oshkosh trip. HAHA

I'll actually be 36 at my 34th.

A couple years ago there was some girl who was still in her moms belly so she'll always be able to be at one more than her actual age. Now that's a fun statistic!

Anyone interested in flying to Airventure cross country in the Harpoon as part of the crew for a tax deductible donation? We are looking for 6 "crew members" to make a donation to help pay for fuel, oil, really cool rental house, and cars. Figure two days over and two days back, with a week at Airventure. She will be painted, turret in, and stations up and running by then. You will have all access, and really cool people to hang out with!

It will cost a pretty penny to get her there, so the donation amount is a little spendy, but tax deductible. It's really the only way we can get her there! Just think the REWARD for that donation level will allow you to fly in to Airventure in a sweet Warbird!

I am putting together a list of interested parties, so PM me and I will share all the details!


Thanks Ken
