I always stress to students, especially my domestic ones, you need to volunteer within the industry.
Caressa BrayGUEST
30:38
Go and find your local women's and aviation chapter or your AOPA chapter and ask them, how can I help? Your EAA chapter, how can you help? Having those volunteer hours speaks more to an employer than 2,000.

Whoever says saving money is hard doesn't know that new customers who bundle and save with Progressive save hundreds.

Because switching your home and auto insurance is better than cutting down on the things you love, like those iced lattes that help you get ready to face the day.
Tom CharpentierHOST

Tom CharpentierHOST

Sam OlsonHOST
41:24
Well, enough about Oshkosh.
Sam OlsonHOST
41:25
So...
Tom CharpentierHOST
41:27
Uh, I'm sure it will, it will visit many more times before, before it's retired, but certainly, uh, certainly if you see it on the schedule, uh, jump at the chance to go see it live, uh, in the, uh, in the show here at EAA.
Matt JollyGUEST
46:46
Well, and NASA is doing so much right now.
Matt JollyGUEST
46:48
We have an EAA chapter board member back in rural Georgia called up an air show friend.
Matt JollyGUEST
46:55
She made it happen.
Matt JollyGUEST
46:57
We had NASA personnel come to rural Georgia and speak at our youth summer camp with these kids in rural Georgia.

ATC Privatization and the Washington Post's Return to a Fight That Never Really Ended

TowerHOST
9:31
Natsky A is politically organized.
TowerHOST
9:33
EAA, the Experimental Aircraft Association, has a strong advocacy operation focused on protecting access for its members.
TowerHOST
9:41
If this debate gets traction again, and the current political climate around government restructuring suggests it might, the GA community will need to be at the table early.
TowerHOST
9:51
Not reacting after the fact, but shaping the conversation from the beginning.
Noah WetzelGUEST
28:46
However, if I had a bucket list, yeah, learning how to fly is, is on it.
Noah WetzelGUEST
28:51
But I'm from Ripon, Wisconsin, so, you know, 18 miles away from Oshkosh, and actually went to EAA for the first time, real- realistically the first time.
Noah WetzelGUEST
29:01
I went when I was, like, four years old.
Noah WetzelGUEST
29:03
Uh, but I went this year for the first time, which was cool, in between-

The FAA MOSAIC Rulemaking, the Three-Thousand-Pound Weight Limit That Rewrites Who Can Fly What, and What the Most Significant Sport Pilot Overhaul in Twenty Years Means for General Aviation

Oct 18 · 3 Mentions

TowerHOST
2:03
Flight schools built curricula.
TowerHOST
2:05
The EAA, the Experimental Aircraft Association, which had been building and flying experimental aircraft for decades, found that a growing portion of its membership had a direct stake in how the light sport category developed.
TowerHOST
2:17
But the rule was anchored in 2004 technology and two decades of composite construction.
TowerHOST
2:23
Modern engines and glass cockpits have made parts of that original rule feel less like a rational safety boundary and more like a photograph of what aircraft looked like when someone had to pick a number.
TowerHOST
7:16
For flight instructors operating in the sport pilot world, the rulemaking touches the instructor structure as well.
TowerHOST
7:22
The current sport pilot instructor rating is its own pathway, separate from the traditional certified flight instructor certificate, Mosaic would revise those instructor provisions to align with the expanded category.
TowerHOST
7:33
If you hold a sport pilot instructor rating, the EAA has published detailed analysis of how the proposed changes would affect your privileges and what additional qualifications might apply to instruction in the new expanded aircraft types.
TowerHOST
7:46
Worth reading before the final rule publishes.
John RaoHOST
8:20
And do the thing that I was thinking of.
John RaoHOST
8:22
And then I did that with the Experimental Aircraft Association chapter when I was president.
John RaoHOST
8:28
At one point, I was running the school program.
John RaoHOST
8:31
I was running the chapter as the leader of the chapter.
DennisHOST
25:25
And by comparison, so we said Globals at $2,300, Star Insurance quoted at $3,407, and AIG at $3,500.
DennisHOST
25:30
And AIG, that included EAA and AOPA discounts.
DennisHOST
25:32
So those were over... over $1,200 to $1,300 more.
GregHOST
25:43
So that made you feel good about what you had at least initially.

Doc, the Last B-Twenty-Nine Superfortress Off the Wichita Line, the Twenty-Nine Year Volunteer Restoration, and the July Morning She Flew Again

Tail DraggerHOST
5:03
By two thousand and fifteen, the team was in the final push, engines mounted, systems being tested and checked, avionics that could meet modern airspace requirements being carefully integrated without destroying the historical character of the airplane.
Tail DraggerHOST
5:14
The Experimental Aircraft Association, or EAA, was deep in the process alongside the team, working through the airworthiness certification requirements that come with flying a historic aircraft of this complexity.
Tail DraggerHOST
5:26
The weight of what they were about to do was not lost on anyone in that hangar.
Tail DraggerHOST
5:29
On July seventeenth, two thousand and sixteen, Doc taxied out onto the runway at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas, the same city where she was built, the same community whose workers had riveted her together seventy-one years before, and she flew.
Tail DraggerHOST
6:52
That one decision and the three hundred thousand hours that followed it is the reason you can still hear a B-29 fly today.
Tail DraggerHOST
6:59
Pull up a chair and think about that next time you're staring at a project in your hangar that seems like it might be past saving.
Tail DraggerHOST
7:04
Historical detail today came from the Doc's Friends organization, the EAA, and reporting from the Wichita Eagle.

TowerHOST
7:36
Their advocacy team tracks these situations nationwide.
TowerHOST
7:40
The EAA, the Experimental Aircraft Association, also monitors airport access issues as part of their advocacy work.
TowerHOST
7:47
Neither organization can guarantee outcomes, but both have experience navigating the FAA complaint process and the legal landscape around airport grant assurances.
TowerHOST
7:56
The broader pattern here is one that the GA community has been dealing with for a long time, and it is not getting simpler.
