For those aviation “nuts” who flock to Oshkosh each July for Airventure, EAA has a couple smartphone apps for you.

Dan Band and what they do for veterans as they travel around the country (and world) supporting causes that benefit our troops … and the children our soldiers find themselves protecting: Operation Iraqi Children both in Iraq and Afghanistan.
