Fly4Life Looking For 1,000 Pilots At OSH from AVwebFlash Current Issue
One of the themes of this year's EAA AirVenture is the recognition and promotion of public benefit flying and the call is out to everyone who uses their airplane to help others to stand up and be counted in Oshkosh. EAA and the Air Care Alliance, co-sponsors of Fly4Life, are hoping at least 1,000 volunteer pilots and aircraft owners register at the Fly4Life tents on the south side of Aeroshell Square to get recognition for their own efforts and to promote the cause. "Our focus is to provide an awareness-generating opportunity for you and/or your organization and to recognize the GA community for its positive influence on the lives of others," the groups said in a news release.

Former Cessna CEO Meyer Joins Aviation Hall Of Fame from AVwebFlash Current Issue
For 2009, the National Aviation Hall of Fame will induct astronauts Eileen Collings, the late Edward White and movie legend the late Jimmy Stewart, alongside Russ Meyer, who led Cessna Aircraft as chairman and CEO from 1975 to 2003. Cessna had halted production of its piston-powered aircraft amid liability issues that held the manufacturer responsible for aircraft over its entire life. Meyer is credited with helping pass the 1994 General Aviation Revitalization Act, limiting liability for manufacturers and leading Cessna to re-enter the general aviation market. Today, the company has delivered more than 40,000 Cessna 172s to market, making it the most-produced aircraft model in history. Meyer played a role in the development of the "Be A Pilot" program and went on to oversee expansion of Cessna's Citation line, which holds claim to the title of most popular bizjet line in the world. He also originated the Citation Special Olympics Airlift that organized hundreds of Citation owners in their transport of athletes from around the country to the National Special Olympics games. Winner of two Collier Trophies, Meyer was in 1996 inducted into the Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame and served on three Presidential Commissions. He is a commercial instrument-rated pilot with more than 15,000 hours logged.

'FLY4LIFE' CELEBRATION AT EAA AIRVENTURE 2009 READY TO RECOGNIZE HUMANITARIAN AVIATION

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. - (June 30, 2009) - The schedule is now set for the largest recognition program for humanitarian flying ever presented at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, as the weeklong "Fly4Life" program has been finalized for the event. EAA AirVenture 2009 is July 27-August 2 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.

The Fly4Life program will feature the breadth and depth of good works accomplished by general aviation, highlighting both public-benefit aviation activities and mission-based flight operations. Along with a major display adjacent to EAA AirVenture's showcase AeroShell Square, there will be aircraft displays, numerous forums and presentations, a July 27 evening program hosted by former CNN Science Editor Miles O'Brien, and other events.

"What we discovered as we finalized the schedule for the Fly4Life program at Oshkosh is there are more wonderful stories involving aviation than could possibly be told at an event a huge as AirVenture," said former EAA vice president Bob Warner, who is serving as the program's volunteer chairman. "Throughout this weeklong event, everyone at Oshkosh can discover how important aviation is not only to transportation around the world, but also how it improves and enhances the lives of people who may never fly in an airplane. We're very excited about the people, aircraft and activities that will be part of Fly4Life."

Among the scheduled activities for the week, featuring the theme "Fly for Life: General Aviation Serving People Worldwide," are the following highlights:

* An evening "hangar talk" program at EAA's Theater in the Woods on Monday, July 27, hosted by former CNN Science Editor Miles O'Brien, an active pilot himself. Featured guests include Peter J. Vanden Bosch, 2007 Winner Outstanding Achievement in Advancement of Public Benefit Flying Award; Walt Fricke, decorated U.S. Army Vietnam aviator and Veteran's Airlift Command founder/chairman; Steve Saint, aviation missionary, social entrepreneur and author of "End of The Spear"; and Gracie Burnham, aviation missionary, 2001 hostage of Pilipino militants and author of "In the Presence of My Enemies" and "To Fly Again";

* Fly4Life tent pavilions and aircraft displays open daily on AeroShell Square, showcasing mission aviation and public-benefit aviation;

* Special displays of a rare and historic 1934 Klemm L25 from Australia, which is the oldest known mission aviation aircraft still flying in the world, and the prototype "Maverick" - a combination powered parachute/dune buggy designed for mission jungle work;

* A "wings presentation" for the Able Flight group on Tuesday, July 28 at 11:30 a.m. at the pavilion to recognize disabled pilots who have overcome adversity to fly;

* Forums and presentations throughout the week as part of AirVenture's regular schedule of nearly 1,000 forums on the grounds (complete schedule is available in the Attractions/"Activities, Presentations and Workshops" area at www.airventure.org.).

"We look forward to thanking pilots and volunteers who donate their time and skill to public-benefit flying," Warner said. "We will also be hosting two group socials and on Friday, July 31, a group photo. In addition, pilots will also receive a special prop card for their aircraft and a badge that recognizes their commitment to humanitarian aviation."
