Friday of Oshkosh 2009 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 an ANN Staffer 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 race.
