Oshkosh! Our Community's Common Unity, with Dick Knapinski
b'
The word Community is made up of two root words... Common Unity.\\xa0 That one thing that bonds people together.\\xa0 To an Avgeek, we share a love of aviation... and it is EAA\'s Airventure that unites us all in a special way.\\xa0 One of the signals of Airventure, is the release of the annual NOTAM.\\xa0 As April came to a close, the NOTAM arrived making last year\'s disappointment a distant memory.\\xa0

For attendees, Airventure is an awesome event which brings excitement and smiles to all that participate.\\xa0 Have you thought about what it takes to put an event together that hosts hundreds of thousands of people?\\xa0 Add to that the unknowns (e.g. weather, etc.) and an extremely dynamic logistical puzzle that impacts thousands of stakeholders.\\xa0 It is then you start to realize the requirements for multi-faceted planning, strong leadership, and excellent communication skills.
Enter, Dick Knapinski, Director of Communications for EAA.\\xa0 As a 29 year veteran of the organization, Dick leads a team of people all focused on making Airventure something special for all of us, regardless of our connection.\\xa0\\xa0Join Brandon and Marc as they sit down with Dick to hear how EAA pulls the event off, with nary a hitch.\\xa0 We also get into a few behind the scenes stories that will leave you wanting for more.\\xa0 Can\'t wait to share those stories at KOSH!
