This thread needs the injection of a few facts. First, the obvious - Hightower was fired. Second, those close to the situation know the reason was not the direction he was leading EAA. The reason...
If Mr Hightower had followed this advice, he would still have a job.
Can anyone recommend a panel mount for an iPhone 4? Not a suction mount, I'm looking for something that will mount it flush to the panel.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
Seriously, the post from the KidVenture volunteer is very interesting.
Matt,
According to published sources, EAA changed their counting method in 2006. From the 1980's until 2005 they used to report attendances in the 700,000 and 800,000 range. There was a lot of...
If this was a "solid" Oshkosh I'd hate to see a bad one! Worst attendance in years. Volunteer morale at rock-bottom. Obvious gaping holes in the exhibit hangars, despite the noticeable increase in...
He has indicated he is not at OSH because of "Failuregate"
No Burt Rutan either.
Burt is still active with projects like Stratolaunch. I know for a fact that Burt was not happy at the whole situation when Mac Mclelland called him a failure. If I was him, I wouldn't be hurrying...
I camped there (Relleumtdats campground) two years ago. It has no amenities but is cheap and has a great location. It was well drained during the very wet weather, when other campsites got swamped. ...
They don't call it O$hko$h for nuthin'!!!
It has been pulled within the last 24 hours perhaps as a result of the on-line and off-line chatter! Google still has it cached:

I couldn't agree more.
Sweet, maybe we could have a special parking area for these aircraft on the flightline. Oh, wait...
And it now becomes much clearer why EAA took a position against the AirVenture Cup, this new chalet area is slap dang in the middle of where the racers usually park.
"someone has drunk the koolaid" was my EXACT thought there too!
My estimate from the EAA brochure is that 19 homebuilding parking spots will be lost from the flightline, leaving just 17 spots in...
I don't believe Tom ever hired a full-time person to manage his self-image - see - http://www.eaa.org/careers/comm_specialist.asp
This job posting created much recent discussion at our Chapter...
I believe this whole discussion began with EAA saying that owing to public concerns it wanted to disassociate itself with air racing of all kinds.
Following this logic, EAA Chapters should be afraid, very afraid.
I couldn't agree more. An EAA representative wrote to the the AirVenture Cup chairman as follows: "With direction set from the top, and in light of the general public concern for anything related to...
Chad, this is incorrect on two counts. First, EAA won that court case. Second, EAA removed its name from the regional fly-ins but maintained its support through sponsorship agreements that included...
You got that right propjock
Marty you are not the only one that feels this way, I agree with you. Sport Aviation is going downhill fast. The story has come out of HQ that Mac Mclelland described Burt Rutan as a failure. ...
It gets worse. Mac Mclelland has apparently described Burt Rutan to his staff as a "failure".
