Jul 2017 Five Days Remain – Get Yourself to AirVenture!
Lady taildragger pilot Madonna McMahan and her Boeing PT17
It’s exhausting and exhilarating, deafeningly loud and abuzz with excitement. For 7 days in July it’s the busiest airport on earth packed full of people and planes. It’s where I spend one entire week each year – Â AirVenture at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. If you’re not here already, I hope you’re on your way. If you love aircraft of all sorts, and spending time with aviation enthusiasts and pilots of all ages, you belong here. Fly yourself, drive yourself, or bite-the-bullet and buy an airline ticket to the greatest spectacle on earth.
