Aero-TV At Oshkosh 2010: Looking Back At Day One

This is Aero TV's Daily Update on EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for Monday, July 26th.

The topic on everyone's mind on opening day was the recent record rainfall. In his remarks, EAA Chairman and President Tom Poberezny addressed the issue.
In an unexpected announcement, Poberezny introduced the man who will replace him as President of EAA.

US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano came to Airventure to announce the expansion of the "See something, Say Something" campaign to general aviation.

Bose announced its new Aviation Headset Model A20, which replaces the Headset Ten in the lineup effective immediately.

Tom Poberezny praised the second prototype of the Terrafugia Transition as an illustration of the innovative ideas the world sees first at Oshkosh.

Piper Aircraft announced PiperMatch, a new program to assist prospective customers who need partners to make ownership pencil out.

Tom Poberezny brought reporters their second surprise of the day by announcing a new prize competition for electric aircraft he said will be a part of next year's AirVenure.

On Monday, AirVenture attendees watched as more than 20 DC-3s and C-47s arrived together to mark the 75th aniversary of the plane's first flight in 1935. But you'd have had to travel to Rock Falls, Illinois to see more than 30 of the planes gathered together on a single ramp. In case you missed The Last Time reunion event, here's a sample.

Join us again tomorrow for our next daily update on EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010... from Aero-TV.
