Jim goes WACO at EAA
The Director of Wild Studies, Jim Jordan, attended the Experimental Aircraft
Association's (EAA) Air Venture Oshkosh, in Oshkosh Wi., July 2008 to
do developmental work on a TV show about the lifestyle of general aviation
pilots in an effort to encourage more young people to consider learning
to fly. During his visit, he flew a new reproduction of a 1939 WACO biplane
for promo film footage. Jim's motto: "Live life, don't let it live
you!!!"
EAA was founded in 1953 by the Poberezny family and a group of individuals
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who were interested in building their own airplanes.
Through the decades, the organization expanded its mission to include
antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircrafts, ultralights, helicopters
and contemporary manufactured aircrafts. Check out EAA's websites www.eaa.org
