Introducing Staff, Stringers, Videographers, And People Who Make It All Work
Anyone who's ever been to Oshkosh knows that there are hundreds of events and activities as well as tens of thousands of people that descend (some quite literally) on Wittman Regional Airport in mid-summer. While we have a very hard-working and dedicated staff, ANN could not provide you with the extensive information we do without the help of some equally ... some might say more ... dedicated volunteers who give a week of their time to make sure you have the best possible coverage of the show. As we lead up to this year's edition of AirVenture, we'll be introducing you to the people that make all of that possible.
Kathryn Creedy: Stringer
Kathryn B. Creedy is a veteran aviation journalist and author. She is one of the few interdisciplinary aviation journalists with a thorough knowledge of airports as well as the business and commercial aviation industries affording unique insights into these dynamic industries. In addition, she has a growing knowledge of the unmanned systems industry, especially as it relates to unmanned aerial systems. Her work has included representing Embraer Executive Jets, the FAA's aviation regulatory division as well as its communications, satellites and navigation division.
She began her aviation work focusing on regional airlines in the immediate post-deregulation period. She founded a weekly newsletter Commuter/Regional Airline News in 1982 building it to become the bible of the industry. She also co-founded its sister publication, London-based C/R News International in 1987 which covered the European market. Kathryn has maintained her interest in the regional airline industry throughout her career.
Kathryn currently has a column in Forbes Online and is the author of Time Flies – The History of SkyWest Airlines. Her byline has appeared in Jane’s Airports, Centerlines, Airline Economics, Business Travel Executive, Airports International, Inflight, Low Fare & Regional Airlines, Aviation Week & Space Technology, Fly Corporate, Business Airports International and Airline Fleet Management.
