Armstrong, Yeager, Wright Family Lead Evening Schedule at
Oshkosh
It's a chance to cover
the gamut of aviation history and Aero News Network will be there
with a bigger team of journalists, wider and more in-depth coverage
than ever before -- along with the full range of insider news
you've come to expect from us. It's EAA's Airventure 2003 and some
of the biggest names in aviation history are among the special
guests this year. ANN will be there a full week early, delivering
to you information you'll need and features you won't want to miss
as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Centennial of
Flight.
Among the guests participating in the evening programs at EAA
AirVenture’s Theater in the Woods are:
Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon
Chuck Yeager, the first person to fly faster than the speed of
sound
Members of the Wright family, who will talk about the
achievement of their ancestors Orville and Wilbur.
Evening programs at EAA’s
annual fly-in have been part of the event almost as long as the
gathering has existed. The first programs were created as
educational seminars or entertainment for the aviation enthusiasts
who were camping on the grounds. Since then, the programs have
evolved into a sparkling showcase of aviation personalities,
musical entertainment and recognition for EAA members and others.
Among some of the highlights of the 2003 schedule of evening
programs include:
“A Night with Chuck Yeager and Friends”

Brothers National Memorial
“An Evening with Neil Armstrong” (Friday,
