Episode 73: The Heart of Oshkosh- Stories from AirVenture Volunteers
Episode Summary:
In this episode of the Flying Midwest Podcast, we take a heartfelt dive into the dedication and passion of the volunteers who make AirVenture possible. We’re thrilled to welcome Jerry Burke, author of On the Grounds & Up: Without Volunteers, the World’s Greatest Annual Aviation Event Wouldn’t Happen. Jerry shares his experiences from years of volunteering, the inspiration behind his book, and the incredible stories of the people who dedicate their time and energy to the event.
We’ll also discuss the roots of Plane Talk on Boeing Plaza, a staple of AirVenture storytelling, and how it connects with Jerry’s volunteer journey. Plus, we bring you the final Badgering Camp Scholler segment from AirVenture '24, wrapping up our on-the-ground coverage of this unforgettable event.
Whether you’ve volunteered at Oshkosh or dreamed of being part of the magic, this episode celebrates the heart and soul of the aviation community.
