The Flightline TV show attended the 25th annual Log Cabin Fly-In, Mondovi, WI

Special thanks to our sponsors, CountryChev.com, Strukturoc.com, Exclusive Aviation, MyPOV360.com and Wings Financial

Doug Ward, a B-17 ball turret gunner and American hero, along with his good friend Judie Ohm were our hosts (They greeted us dressed in WWII aviator uniforms!) They met our crew as we arrived and set up to do a feature story about their event. They provided refreshments and a warm place for all to meet and greet.

This was our 1st trip over to the Log Cabin Fly-in & we enjoyed it. Luckily the weather was warmer and the winds were not as strong as predicted earlier in the day.  After seeing Doug’s hand built log cabin home and interesting out-buildings and hangars, we decided we’d like to see his summer Fly-In if our schedule permits.

A special thanks goes out to Doug Beck who took our show pilot, Paul Jackson up for a little ride to capture some in-flight footage. Doug is a moderator for the website http://www.skiplane.org and welcomes all to log-in and check it out.

 

Today, the spirit of the Golden Age of aviation is still alive and flying. The Flightline shot a great segment with Clay Adams and his 1929 Travel Air. Clay flies the skies of the Midwest, hopping rides two at a time, introducing a new generation to the wonders of flight while providing older generations an opportunity to be immersed in nostalgia.

The Flightline, an aviation show like no other, launches their second season to a growing audience of aviation enthusiasts throughout the Midwest and a worldwide online following. By partnering with FS-North and FS-Wisconsin the show will have a regional reach of 4+ million households, in preparation for a National roll-out. Season two is presented in High Definition by CountryChev.com

 

The show is hosted by Eden Prairie’s Mark DeJoy and “show pilot” and consultant Paul Jackson of Chaska who is a senior captain for a major air carrier and a certified flight instructor. DeJoy and Jackson are lifelong friends who have known each other since kindergarten.

This season, the show will be broadcast on Saturday mornings at 10:30AM starting July 2nd. A channel finder is provided on The Flightline website to find your local channels.

These aviation stories focus not only on aircraft new and old, military and civilian, small and large, but also on the people who fly them. The stories are produced to appeal not only the aviation enthusiast, but by anyone who marvels at the wonder of flight. In addition to their ground-based HD cameras, the production team uses small HD cameras mounted in and around the aircraft to give the audience the feeling they are along for the ride when they take to the skies.

Featured stories include: the Navy’s Blue Angels, the Air Force’s new F-22 Stealth Fighter, vintage aircraft from aviation’s Golden Age, old warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, barnstormers and stories about the past, present and future of aviation.

“We like to tell people that we provide an air show every week for our viewers” said Executive Producer Mark DeJoy. “When people get to see these aircraft up close and in the air in high definition, it really is like you’re there in the cockpit”
