If the thought of being totally immersed in aviation, seeing every type of aircraft from unique looking homebuilts, to a full assortment of military aircraft, to state of the art commercial airliners, and everything in between, block out the last week of July next summer with plans to head to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh, a one of a kind aviation experience.
With all of the conversation about workforce development in aviation, I took advantage of the opportunity to talk with four aviation industry professionals with Airbus Americas and Delta Airlines. First, I spoke with Captain Patrick Burns, Vice President of Delta's flight operations and system Chief Pilot supervising over 14,000 pilots; followed by John O'Leary, Vice President of Engineering for Airbus Americas; then the relatively young, but energetic and passionate Yeimy Daniela Garcia, an Account Director for Satair an Airbus company; closing out with Amanda Simpson, Vice President of Research and Technology for Airbus Americas.
What an incredible opportunity to hear them share their perspectives on the amazing possibilities and opportunities for future generations of aspiring young aviation and aerospace professionals. Take a listen.
