Congratulations to Catherine Marx this year’s winner of the CP Aviation Emergency Maneuver Training Scholarship.

This Scholarship is given each year in memory of Vicki Cruse by CP Aviation.  This year there is an additional bonus of $2,000 to be used for transportation and lodging given in memory of Danny Franscioni. 

Catherine lives in Arkansas and admits that she hates stalls but really wants to like them.  It will be interesting to see what she thinks of them after completing the course.

Over the past thirty years, there has scarcely been a person who has attended the EAA Fly-In (now known as AirVenture) who has not heard the voice of Roscoe Morton, also known as the “Voice of Oshkosh”, over the public address system.
