Friday marked the second annual “WomenVenture”
celebration at EAA AirVenture. An estimated 550 women
gathered at AeroShell Square wearing lavender t-shirts to show
support including Julie Clark, Jill Long, and the famed WASPs.
Peggy Chabrian, president of Women in Aviation, took a moment to
discuss WomenVenture with Aero-TV.
AeroShell Square was ringed with some of the best-known business
aircraft flying Friday afternoon, as EAA President Tom Poberezny,
GAMA President Pete Bunce, FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt, and a
parade of professionals brought the message of business aviation to
the worlds largest sport aviation show.
It was quite a year of updates from the EAA AirVenture’s
company visitors, and ICON was not one to disappoint. On
Friday, ICON took over the waters at the Seaplane Base in order to
show off their highly popular amphibious A-5. This was the
first opportunity for Aero-TV and AirVenture guests to view the A-5
in action!
Friday featured a lot of exciting moments for AirVenture
visitors and Aero-TV alike. John Klatt, of the John Klatt Air
Shows, took Senior Producer Sarah Curtiss for an exciting aerobatic
plane ride, showing off some of his great moves that thrill and awe
the Oshkosh crowds.
TLC’s American Chopper star Paul Teutul delighted EAA
AirVenture crowds as he made a guest appearance at the event in
order to battle Fagen Incorporated’s MX-2. The
aircraft, piloted by Greg Poe of Greg Poe Airshows, raced
Teutul’s bike in a showdown between the two ethanol-powered
vehicles. Greg Poe sat down with Aero-TV to give his
perspective of the impending race.
