EAA Radio celebrates 12
years
On the
grounds and around the world, EAA Radio brings AirVenture Oshkosh to you
24/7 at 1210 AM, on 100.5 FM, and www.AirVenture.org/radio/.
Now in its 12th
year, EAA Radio allows you to be a part of The World’s Greatest
Aviation Celebration even if you’re half a world away.
Live
programming starts each day of the convention at 7 a.m. CDT/1200 Zulu
and includes interviews with a variety of guests from all corners of
aviation. In any given hour you can hear a conversation with a famous
test pilot, the last word on air traffic control etiquette, the newest
innovation in homebuilt aircraft, or the deeply personal journey of an
amateur builder. Programming concludes on Sunday, August 3, following
the conclusion of the last air show.
Along
with studio interviews, EAA Radio field reporters cover the convention
grounds to meet interesting people who make the event unique.
EAA Radio
also provides coverage of important AirVenture events as the Meet the
Administrator forum, new product announcements, and the daily showcase
and air show. Each evening, EAA Radio brings you Theater in the Woods
live with its colorful lineup of presentations, speakers, and
entertainment. For AirVenture attendees, EAA Radio is a mobile source
for convention information including events, weather, information on EAA
services, and twice-hourly announcements of upcoming forums and
presentations.
EAA Radio
continues to diversify its programming, and this year it will have added
several new daily features, as well as unique on-air programming that
can only occur at AirVenture.

University (11:30
a.m. CDT/1630Z daily)
It

the daily forum schedule.
