The topic on everyone's mind on opening day was the recent
record rainfall. In his remarks, EAA Chairman and President Tom
Poberezny addressed the issue.
In an unexpected announcement, Poberezny introduced the man who
will replace him as President of EAA.
US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano came to
Airventure to announce the expansion of the "See something, Say
Something" campaign to general aviation.
Bose announced its new Aviation Headset Model A20, which
replaces the Headset Ten in the lineup effective immediately.
Tom Poberezny praised the second prototype of the Terrafugia
Transition as an illustration of the innovative ideas the world
sees first at Oshkosh.
Piper Aircraft announced PiperMatch, a new program to assist
prospective customers who need partners to make ownership pencil
out.
Tom Poberezny brought reporters their second surprise of the day
by announcing a new prize competition for electric aircraft he said
will be a part of next year's AirVenture.
On Monday, AirVenture attendees watched as more than 20 DC-3s
and C-47s arrived together to mark the 75th aniversary of the
plane's first flight in 1935. But you'd have had to travel to Rock
Falls, Illinois to see more than 30 of the planes gathered together
on a single ramp. In case you missed The Last Time reunion event,
here's a sample.
Join us again tomorrow for our next daily update on EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh 2010... from Aero-TV.
