Airventure Oshkosh

Monday, August 15th, 2011

This past July I made my third trip to EAA Airventure in Oshkosh Wisconsin.  It has been described in many ways, “The Worlds Greatest Aviation Celebration”, “Disneyworld for airplane junkies”, etc.  It is THE aviation event for North America and for a week period is the busiest airspace in the world with 10k - 15k people flying their airplanes to the event and 500k visitors over the one week period.  Although it started as an event for homebuilders, everyone in the business is there.  This year Boeing flew in their new 787 for the first public showing in North America, my last trip there in 2009 Airbus had the A380 there for the week.  Every warbird you would want to see will be there and daily airshows.  If you are in to aviation it is a must see event.  Below are some pictures from the 2011 event including a USAF F16 that landed long.
