Default Nice GA piece done by our local TV station

Good stuff!

Just yesterday, there was a plane from my home field (Reid-Hillview) that
got inverted (it was an old Stearman), but pilot and passenger crawled out
from under the plane under their own power (although the plane looked a bit
worse for the wear). Anyway, I was reading the online news story from one
of our local stations - you'd think someone would check their spelling of
the aircraft involved (which they spelled "Steerman") and the airport from
which it was based, Reid-Hillview (which they spelled "Reed Hill View" -
close but no cigar... ).

This was a very nice collection of (old and new) aviation stories that
aired this past Sunday night, at 10:35pm, after our local (Twin Cities)
news.

(And yes, this is the local TV station with the wiggy video format.
Nothing I can do about it! Hope you can view it. I switch over to Internet
Explorer to watch this station's videos. Work for me.)

The "In The Air" collection of short stories include:

EAA (Oshkosh) Volunteer - Ron Oehler

Mig Jet
Model Plane War (Fun!!)
Classic Doogie Dog
Girl Pilot (Taylor is from our EAA Chapter)
