As part of Women in Aviation Day, Secretary of the Air Force, Heather Wilson, was at AirVenture on Wednesday and ANN’s Maxine Scheer had a chance to sit down with her to get her opinion on ATC Privatization...

AirVenture is one of the industry's main venues for introducing new products for experimental aircraft. ANN’s Jim Campbell talked to Matt Liknaitzky from MGL avionics about their latest avionics offerings... EAA’s main outreach to bring young people into the aviation community is the Young Eagles program, which offers free orientation flights to kids who are interested in learning to fly. At AirVenture 2017 they announced a huge new partnership that will help Young Eagles reach an ever broader audience… AirVenture is almost over, but don’t worry there’s another plenty more aviation events still to come this year…. ANN’s Jim Campbell talked to Jana Filip about the DeLand Sport Aviation Showcase that will be taking place November second through the fourth in Deland, Florida…. ANN has had the good fortune (most of the time) to work with a number of photographers... some good, some not worth the trouble... and just a few that REALLY impressed us. For the last few years, we’ve been truly impressed to work with Photo-Geek, Extraordinaire, Eric Van Gilder... who not only has an eye for what looks good on camera but the passion to capture the shot no matter what. Here’s a sampling of just how good Oshkosh looks through the lens of a Master Photographer. In the final segment of Jim Campbell’s exclusive interview with EAA chairman Jack Pelton, the two discuss the health of the organization, and diversity in the industry…. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
