DATELINE-RAMP;”Northwest radio fixture Geoff Scott has landed (yes, he’s also a pilot) at KOZE Z-ROCK 96.5!

Z-Rock Christmas & a happy new SOCK

“I’m proud to be a part of this place! and I think I may be the station’s first new hire in 10 years, returning to my roots as 20-year Northwest rocker-dude,” says Scott, who is well-known for his decade in the Spokane market working at KHTQ (Rock 94 1/2) and KEZE. “And now I get my weekdays off to go fly airplanes!” says Scott”

(more) “Love the LC Valley, unique terrain, and very interesting listeners~ been coming down here on vacations since ’91 or ’92 (whenever it was they made 195 into a TWO LANE HIGHWAY) and now proud be a part of it’s community & inter-stellar radio line-up!”

UPDATE 12-16-11 After two weeks on-air, and mostly complete with the boot-camp part of the ‘training’,  just wanted to say this place does truly ROCK. PD & owner are awesome, feeling very lucky to be accepted into “the fold”, have been enjoying the engaged & (mostly) welcoming audience pool, and the dedicated airstaff who know that audience like family members. We hereby give this place ‘TWO-WINGS’ UP! -=gs=-

Update: EAA AIR FAIR 2011

Several hundreds, maybe thousands, came by Lewiston Nez Perce Airport to see the golden wings of aviation up close and personal beneath a blazing summer sun Saturday. Although the  proverbial “35 cent” part kept the biggest wings of the B-24

Commerative AF B-24 Draws a heavy crowd despite 35-cent missing part

from gracing our skies the crowd got even more of a chance to get inside it and bask in it’s silken-metallic gun metal sheen. (ed: wow *sniff, that was my most romantic sentence I’ve EVER written, and it was about an airplane- PLEASE don’t tell the wife.) The part arrived, just for the record, the following Monday and the commemorative air force not only made good on their promise to fly anyone who had signed up… but they stayed in town FOUR MORE DAYS after the show, to take on more spectators and riders in an unscheduled week!

Other highlights that come to mind (See the SLIDESHOW Below) were the Orion P-4 from Whibey Island, The Commemorative AF B-17 on hand, and National Gaurd Gunship from Boise. Check out THAT rack! Kiwi Air picked up the slack with breath takingly panoramic helicopter rides that seemed to run all day. Thankfully the prop-wash would make some breeze every few minutes on run-up. It felt nice. Lifeflight was there, all those EAA member’s planes, food, shuttle service and only ONE injury reported: me. I poked my finger with a staple while opening prizes at the table and it wouldn’t come out. DOH!

The Commemorative Air Force & AV8News thanks EVERYONE for coming by AIRFAIR 2011,
A perfect summer’s day

Around the ol’ ROADHOUSE, here, we’ve been warming up the video machines fast & furiously for FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT & WHR MOTORSPORTS – ‘MONSTER NATIONALS’ EVENT. Excited by the collaboration of two such regional SuperGiant’s of the Monster-Tread, ROADNOISE Entertainment’s Scott Heaton says;  “Lookout Western Montana… We’ll sell you the whole spot~ but you’re only gonna need THE END”

Well, uh, figuratively… speaking anyway.

*PICK ‘EM UP …IF YOU’RE LOOKING….  IN THE ROADHAUS ‘DRIVE-THRU‘ WINDOW

Here’s a sample:

Congrats to Spokane’s very own “Rock Star” MYLES KENNEDY… confirmed to now be in the studio working on the new SOLO CD! Oh and did we say, with the “Guitar hero’s” guitar Hero? SLASH….

That’s too many World Champion Axe-Men for one location. Goodluck and can’ wait to hear it!

(Myles Kennedy a local favorite and only 7-time winner of the Spokane Axe-man Competition. And that was BEFORE he played for Mayfield-4, Citizen Swing, or Alterbridge) He is a great guitarist and a really great guy.

Honored to have been elected to the WASHINGTON PILOT’S ASSOCIATION/SPOKANE Board of Directors… So, to celebrate; we went flying! (of course) Not quite the challenge of “Contaminated Surfaces” training, this flight on the backside of a cold front Friday night, blustery cold~gusting to 20kts, and shooting some long approaches to the new extended Runway21 at Geiger. For you NON-pilots the crosswind technique is a delicate balance of slipping into the wind with one wing lower, and ‘kicking’ rudder in the opposite direction to maintain lateral stability as to land with one wheel (upwind) aligned with the runway and then rotation follows through on the roll-out. Let’s just say it’s dance on the feet and a careful ballet of cross-control up above… Kind of like the last time I tried to disco.

Honored to have been nominated “Best In The Business” by industry giants AV-DELI!

Welcome to the lab.

Representing over 50 markets & seven countries, in this yearly compilation we hear some of the greatest Production/Imaging people in THE WORLD. These, the artists that color “the sounds you hear”, create the flavor of your favorite shows; bring life to disembodied words branding attitude, putting personality to the intangible, and leave a memorable impression that jumps at you from your radio.

Known simply in the trade as “the missing link”, these master designers live by one simple rule: A station (on a crowded dial) without identity, is just a number~ without a face.
