Enroute to Oshkosh! from A mile of runway will take you anywhere. by Steve | A few weeks ago I came across an airfare I simply couldn't pass up - roundtrip from Dayton to Milwaukee for about $25 (yes, you read that correctly - $25) after applying a $100 Delta certificate I had on file. The certificate was set to expire on 7/31 and I had no other use for it, so I quickly booked a ticket and figured I might as well enjoy Airventure for a day! I'm heading to the airport super early ...

On EAA radio this morning, many conversations throughout our week at AirVenture were echoed as Gene Cernan shared his vision for getting young people interested in aviation, and what the future might hold. He shared that the National Flight Academy will be christened and commissioned next year. The
academy will take place on the USS Ambition, a mock up of the quarter deck of an aircraft carrier, with a focus on STEM. A quick search yielded this post on the ground breaking for the USS Ambition. Did I mention that Gene Cernan was thrilled with the sound of an F-18 flying in the background? His advise to all, especially young people, "never give up - you'll surprise yourself!" and "always shoot for the moon!"
After Capt. Cernan's interview, those listening (or attending) got to listen to a passenger's point of view about the events of Flight 1549. What I found most intriguing was the fact that despite all we've read and listened to about the events of that January day, we still can't "identify" with all that took place that day.
Acro Camp was the topic when we listened to Steve Tupper share some clips, insight and a preview of what to expect when his independent film is released later this year. Steve doesn't consider himself
busy enough, so he has getting ready to shoot Acro Camp II in August! He announced the "campers" for the next version of his efforts in this blog post last week, and elaborated more during his presentation today.The air racier Tsunami is being rebuilt, and we got to hear from Sharon Sandberg and the rest of the team that is making the effort to reconstruct the aircraft from the wreckage and make another attempt at the speed record. Be sure to check out
their website and see how you can help with the efforts to resurrect this legendary racer!The evening ended with a lot of fun while still sharing a passion for aviation with all the podcasters at the Sennheiser booth for the 2011 annual Podapalooza! The vision and passion for aviation is alive and well ... just ask anyone that was there! I have to echo the thanks of the podcasters to Sennheiser for hosting was is becoming a wonderful tradition!
