It’s time again to report my activities on behalf of ABS and the Air Safety Foundation at EAA AirVenture 2024, summer camp for pilots. “Oshkosh” is an 11-day odyssey for the ABS staff, including about 14 hours’ drive in a pair of loaded vans each way and a day and a half of setup before AirVenture aided this year by the incredible volunteer efforts of Kevin O’Halloran, Mark Petersen, C.K. and Joy Lee, Susan Delgado, Michael Madigan, Richard Schmidt, and Bill Van Lent. There are undoubtedly others I’ve not named, and I apologize for the oversight; send me an email reminder and I’ll include an update next month. Oshkosh is our biggest face-to-face event with members and it’s highly rewarding to provide ABS members an outstanding experience in the ABS tent as part of their time at AirVenture.
