Each summer, the aviation world converges on Oshkosh for one remarkable week. At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026, Samaritan Aviation had more opportunities than ever to share the people, aircraft, and purpose behind our work in Papua New Guinea. This WTAQ feature captures one of those conversations—and a flight aboard our Cessna 206 seaplane.
WTAQ-AM (Green Bay, WI) Interviews Mark Palm
WTAQ reporter Rachel Charniak meets Mark Palm at the EAA Seaplane Base and experiences a flight aboard Samaritan Aviation’s Cessna 206. Along the way, Mark shares stories from the field—including one of the organization’s earliest rescues, when a mother and her newborn survived a medical emergency and later named the child Mark. The feature offers an up-close look at the aircraft and people behind each mission.
