KIDS-4 At the EAA 2006
For one week
a year
there is no place on earth that brings together all the exciting aspects of
flight as completely as EAA AirVenture
in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. KIDS-4 was
there to cover the event on July 25th, 2006. Four kids, ages
10-13, took on the EAA AirVenture show and over 2,000 airplanes. KIDS-4
representatives were Gefjon Garat, Sanders Melvin, Jessika Gerg, Ryan Berman, and adult volunteer Don Winkler.
These young reporters made up the team of the youngest journalists visiting the
2006 EAA AirVenture Show.
This is the sixth year KIDS-4 reporters have covered this event. This unique opportunity was provided through the cooperative efforts of Dick Knapinski-Director of Public Relations for the EAA in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and Sun Prairie Cable Access staff members Rachel Packard and Cameron Thompson.
The
kids tackled all aspects of the air show, talking with pilots and air
enthusiasts from around the world. The
kids covered the AirVenture grounds, setting up interviews, filming
press conferences, and vying with reporters from major networks for exclusive
stories. Highlights from the day include talking a narcotics expert with United States
Border Patrol, interviewing National Guard representatives, speaking with pilots
who built and flew their own planes to the EAA, and interviewing the pilots from
the B-1 Bomber. The kids finished up the day filming the EAA
air stunt show.
Even
if you weren't able to make it to this year's EAA AirVenture Show, you can catch
highlights of this incredible convention on KIDS-4. Watch KIDS-4 or check
