Episode 58 Chinese Elements in EAA Airventure
EAA celebrates its 50th anniversary in Oshkosh. Hi there, thanks for tuning in to 5 minuteswith AOPA-China. I know this episode’s preclude is quite awesome. That's thesound of F-22 Raptor.
These days, we have been diving in the EAAAirventure Oshkosh. Do you know the feelings when you see something in personthat can only be seen in pictures, videos or stories before? Such as F-35,A-10, P-51 mustang, spitfire, Spirit of st.Luis, Tri-motor, B-29 Superfotress,Boeing 747-8, Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker，you name it.
Among these aircraft in display, there aretwo from China, Nanchang CJ-6 and Sunward SA 60L Aurora . Aurora is atwo-seater LSA. CJ-6 is a basic trainer aircraft. You may be surprised, what?Chinese LSA in Oshkosh? Yes, even though the GA industry in China is still inits infancy, we are passionate to join the world biggest aviation celebration,eager to learn and grow.
Now, let’s go through some Chinese elementsin the Airventure.
First of all, as the representative ofAOPA-China, we brought our members all the way here to join this fantasticevent. Like me, many of them are first time visitors. We truly get a picture ofAmerican aviation. One of our members marveled: we took a time machine to thefuture, I’m pretty sure this is the future of Chinese aviation. Haha, much tolearn, long way to go.
We met Daniel, an awesome pilot from China,he is very active in our 5 PM aviation quiz. It’s a great pleasure to meet himin the Airventure! He flew to Oshkosh in his own aircraft. We had a niceconversation with two US pilots during lunch about the privatization of airtraffic control in America. Incredible right. They shared stories in learninghow to fly, Daniel also gave them some advice of learning aerobatics. Thepeople around us are so nice, always wearing a warm smile. Just say hi to starta conversation and make friends.
The fire burns higher with more peopleadding woods in it. Some Chinese GA companies have a booth in the field to showthe world that China is making efforts to grow GA. We welcome any internationalcommunication, support and cooperation.
July 25th, the director of Beihang GAresearch center organized a forum in the Forum Stage 3, giving a voice ofChinese GA development to the world. Representatives from China including Yangyuan yuan, the former administrator of CAAC, Keyubao, the executive SecretaryGeneral of AOPA-China, Claire, Chen Peng, the Secretary General of Z-Park GAindustrial Alliance delivered great speeches to let more people know about us.Our goal is to let more people fly safely in China.
In the forum, Dan Johnson, the president ofthe light aircraft manufacturers association said China is at the seed plantingstage. We should work together to bring the idea of flying small aircraft tothe people in China. And it requires years to built culture as America did.
As an individual, I feel crazy about theconvention, it hits me not only by the number of the aircraft docked, thewonderful air show, but the people with great enthusiasm, the culture builtupon years and years. As a member of Chinese GA community, I know there are alot of obstacles ahead, but we are not giving up exploring. EAA Airventure issuch a perfect venue for us to enjoy and learn.
