World Premiere a Huge Hit, PBS Broadcast List Continues to Grow, August's Winner



Pre-Broadcast Premiere August 9, 2010
World Premiere at AirVenture a Huge Hit!

Thousands Attend Premiere and Encore Events

The first public showing of The Aviators: Episode One was held at the famous Theatre in the Woods at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI on Friday, July 30th with an encore on Saturday, July 31st.

Over 5,000 excited viewers were in attendance to watch the inaugural showing of The Aviators and the response from the crowd was universally positive. Episode One featured segments on the Tiger Moth biplane, the U.S. Air Force's mammoth C5M, an interview with Miracle on the Hudson hero (and AirVenture rockstar) Jeff Skiles, a flat spin survivor, and a segment on AirVenture itself.

As an interesting note, in the 36 hours following the premiere The Aviators website received over ONE MILLION HITS! In July we set a new record with a total of over 1.7 million hits in addition to the thousands of new subscribers to the online members area, the digital magazine, and this newsletter. Thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm!
