Avionics News August 2022 - 51

How did you become
interested in aviation?
Melissa Raddatz
as a child.
I had a lot of exposure to
aviation at a young age. My
dad and his friends were
homebuilders of different kits.
He would take my brother and
me to air shows and pancake
breakfasts at the local airport
in Perry, Iowa. We'd watch
the skydivers. My great uncle
managed the local airport in
Ironwood, Michigan, and I had
other family members who
were airline and military pilots.
My husband and I both grew
up with dads who were heavily
interested and involved in
aviation. My husband earned
his pilot's license at 18. We both
worked at EAA AirVenture at
some point and attended many
of our youth years there. We
still attend nearly every year.
What do you like about
attending EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh?
It's such a great family event.
There's no comparison. It's such
good energy. People are friendly
and respectful. Our family started
doing the 5K run on Saturday. We
like to go the weekend before and
sit on the north side of the airport
and watch the airplanes fly in and
listen to air traffic control on our
hand-held radio. We highly recommend
that people camp, because
there's so much that goes on at the
end of the day like the Theater in
the Woods and the Fly-in Theater.
You've maintained and
helped restore a lot of different
types of aircraft,
especially at EAA. What
aircraft type did you most
enjoy working on and why?
I had the honor and privilege of
working on the B-17 Flying Fortress,
helping with the annual inspection,
and the Ford Trimotor. On the Trimotor,
I assisted with some structural concerns
and worked with the corrugated
sheet metal, which was interesting
and enlightening and fun. I thoroughly
enjoyed working on these two aircraft.
It's funny, when I was in tech school,
we were told that we had to learn
about radial engines but that we'd
most likely never touch one because
it's a niche part of the industry. The
first thing I did when I got a job was
touch a radial engine. I thought this
was hilarious. I'm actually changing
spark plugs on a B-17 engine.
What types of avionics and
electronics systems did
you install most at Duncan
Aviation and on what types
of aircraft?
I mostly installed domestic
internet systems such as Gogo
Business Aviation air-to-ground
