Volunteering at Airventure, Vintage Area

[RC Gregg]

My son and I volunteered with Vintage using the following link, and got a reply within a few hours. http://eaavintage.org/events/airvent...-with-vintage/

My wife and I have volunteered many times and the only year we had issues was when we decided to help out with vintage. They just didn’t seem to want our help and we ended up leaving and going back to warbirds. Not sure what happened and there were some nice people, just the organization of volunteers was hopeless. This was many years ago now, I’m sure it’s different now. Vintage has been booming the last few years.

I can only speak for the Vintage Flight Line, but as I stated, we've never turned anybody away or failed to find them something to do. Our offices are across Wittman Road (the paved track down the middle of the airport) from the Hangar Cafe. The Vintage Volunteer center up in front of the red barn has been through a few changes of managment over the years, but they seem sane now.

I had a very similar experience abut four years ago when I "tried" to volunteer with the trams (I even provided a bio and list of referrals. All I received from Ms. Z was "Thanks, I will get back with you."

Yes, that is the link I tried several times (the link to volunteer for the flight line), but received no reply. I'll take the advice of FlyingRon and show up to the volunteer center the first day I'm there.

If you want to work Vintage Flight Line, come to our building (across from the Hangar Cafe) at 9AM or 1PM (we run training both times every day from now until the show closes). Training runs about an hour or so (you get credit for volunteering for that hour).
