DOT secretary blogs about Oshkosh

By Janice Wood · August 3, 2010 ·

In a July 30 blog post, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood was enthusiastic about his trip to AirVenture in Oshkosh. In the post, he says:

“Federal Aviation Administrator Randy Babbitt invited me to join him in Oshkosh yesterday, and I’m sure glad I did. AirVenture was phenomenal! Together, we watched the famous air show — spectacular! — toured the grounds and saw the A4 Skyhawk, the F4 Phantom, a variety of light sport aircraft, and a restored Eastern Airlines DC 7B. We even saw a couple of electric-powered planes and a real-life flying car.”
