"On
Air Aviation" radio show
The objective of the
On Air Aviation radio program is to serve the aviation community for the
educational purpose of preserving aviation heritage and promoting aviation to
new generations. Topics will cover past, present and future items of interest to
the aviation community and the general public, from those merely curious about
aviation, to seasoned aviation professionals and veterans. Highly qualified
contributing editors have joined up to provide timely, informative topics from
the USS Midway Museum, the San Diego Air and Space Museum, San Diego County
Airports, and the San Diego Business Journal with more experts to come. Aviation
enthusiasts will be encouraged to call in and join the conversation,
contributing to the one-hour weekly program. On Air Aviation is launching this
Sunday evening, September 5th, from 8 to 9 pm, on KCBQ 1170 AM, or
just click on the “Listen Live” button on
KCBQ.com for online listening.
Well-known
radio host Dave Stall was inspired by a press flight in a warbird at the “Wings
over Gillespie Air Show 2010” to develop a new AM radio program dedicated to the
aviation community of San Diego County on “Intelligent Talk” KCBQ 1170 San
Diego. Dave is supported by aviation enthusiast Rich Kenney, an experienced
sports marketer and former magazine editor, who joined the project to spearhead
the marketing, advertising sales, and to coordinating the content of the
program. Rich is also associated with San Diego’s Air Group One of the
Commemorative Air Force based at Gillespie Field, in El Cajon, California.

CAF Air Group One and
Tuskegee Airmen members take a moment to reflect,
in front of the B-17 "Sentimental Journey" during one of its previous stops at
Gillespie Field.
