Going to Vlogger Fair in a few weeks. Sorry, no new Preflight TV episodes. Many are in the works, and some have been filmed and not edited. I know… I’m a slouch.
Truth be told, we’ve been hard at work getting ready for the next phase. There are lots of things in motion, and hopefully things will work in a favorable direction.
Preflight TV will return. 🙂
Oh, and if you’re in Seattle, sign up for Vlogger Fair on June 8th and/or 9th. It’s only $30. http://www.vloggerfair.com

Last month I attended AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I brought back some video. This is the first of the series.

Every moment of the day there was two or three aircraft landing or taking off – very often, at the same time. Then, every afternoon there is an air show overhead.
While everyone was looking at the cool airplanes, I spent my time wondering the floor of the hangers on the lookout for cool stuff.
In this episode I take talked with a few vendors. Many of them were much shyer than you would think, and I had to improvise reporting on their products. When the vendor didn’t want to talk to the camera I’d hold the camera and do the voice-over right there. This worked for the most part, but this technique did capture a bit of background noise.
These are the vendors in this episode:
