Say Hello To Evan Sweetman And Jeremy King!
With the final days before the official start to EAA AirVenture
2007 counting down all too rapidly... and, not quickly enough...
ANN's senior staff is all-too-aware of the Herculean task ahead of
us in reporting EVERYTHING that's news at The World's Greatest
Aviation Celebration.
Fortunately, this year we'll have some help... and some really
GREAT help at that. As we've already told you, Aero-News is
bringing its largest staff EVER to AirVenture this year, to not
only increase our print and audio coverage of the greatest (air)
show on Earth, but also to help us kick off Aero-TV. (Come to
think of it... "Herculean" doesn't begin to cover it...)
Over the next several days, we thought we'd take the time to
introduce you to the print stringers, video crews, and senior
staffers who will be bringing our readers and listeners all the
news that's fit to pixilate, modulate and videotape from Oshkosh
this year.
And now, without further adieu...
Evan Sweetman
While having graduated Webster University, Evan has spent a
lifetime around the aerospace industry. A veteran of Oshkosh
already, with 15 shows in 22 years, he has also worked at the
famous Le Bourget Air Show in Paris, and the Farnborough Air Show
in England... but Evan says the highlight of his career in
aerospace was the unveiling ceremony for Burt Rutan's
X-Prize-winning SpaceShipOne.
"I have always been drawn to Oshkosh for the unbridled
enthusiasm for aviation," Evan says. "Few other air shows in the
world demonstrate the past, present, and future of the world of
aviation. It truly excites me to be able to see these
representations of aviation history in flight and see the
excitement of young and old alike as they whiz about overhead."
Jeremy King
Jeremy King will be making his second trek to Oshkosh. His first
trip to OSH was his young Eagles flight, at age 14. Now 26, King, a
senior mass communications student at the University of West
Georgia, is a pilot and mechanic with a broad base of aviation
experience -- from American Champion to Zlin. After writing for --
and then running a sister publication of -- a local publication in
his hometown, Jeremy's now back at his home base ("newsrooms don't
smell like hangars"), turning wrenches for a flying club as he
finishes college.
Oshkosh will be King's first chance to combine the two loves of
his life -- something he's been longing to do for years. The
newspapers, however, triggered a voracious appetite for
photography, so keep an eye out for him. He'll be the one with an
ANN shirt, and a couple digital SLR cameras hanging from neck
straps.
Stay tuned as we introduce more of our stringers and
staffers in days to come!
