Just went to EAA.org and wanted to say that the new page looks good. I am sure that a lot of work went into it.
And building your airplane and Young Eagles are front and center.
Thanks,

Oshkosh airventure site also redone.
Thanks guys!
Actually, the new site (which is still deploying as we speak...) consolidates somewhere around 25 different sites that were scattered all over the web...
All the old URLs will still work - airventure.org, airventuremuseum.org, etc., they'll just take you to those sections of the new site.
There's a lot more to do, but this is giving us a good foundation on which to build.

I was looking at those this morning too. They look awesome so far! Great job!

I'm not a crusty curmudgeon (at least, I'm not crusty). I wonder how many website developers have any idea how unusable these fancy websites are to the "prime demographic" they are trying to reach? I'm with a fairly liberal large company, and they just upgraded us to Internet Explorer (IE) 8. The only website worked fine in IE and Firefox, the new one doesn't look right/has stuff missing in both. We are required to keep Java, Active-X, and all sorts of other things turned off. So, you say, you shouldn't be looking at it from work anyway, just access it from home. Well, working 5 (or 6, sometimes 7) days a week, plus commuting, plus outside activities, most days the last thing I want to do is go home and sit in front of another screen. It's much easier to get a quick update before work, during lunch, or after work.
Ken - can you please give me some examples of things that are missing?
Thanks -
Hal

Two thumbs up! Everything in one place. Congrats to all who have made the revamped site possible.
Hal, first impression, the site looks great. Glenn

Difficult to say, because now I can't get in with IE. It wants me to login, which it never did before, and didn't this morning, either, but Firefox can get in just fine. This morning, when I viewed EAA Radio in IE, there were no links below to click on, but they showed up fine in Firefox. Also, the EAA Radio pages don't have any link to the archives (at least that showed up in either of my browsers). Again, this is a problem where many people are using "locked down" computers, and the web developers, used to a "wide open" college environment, don't have any clue about.
Ken - which version of IE on which operating system?
