The world's largest fly-in is in full swing in Oshkosh, Wisconsin this week. It's the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) AirVenture 2011. What started as a small convention at the Milwaukee airport in 1953 has grown into a week-long, world-class gathering that addresses virtually any aviation topic.OTR had the privilege of working at five AirVentures beginning in 1999. Some may interpret that as overkill, but he left each one thrilled at the thought of returning for the next event.
Nothing can replace being at Oshkosh mixing with the 20,000 or so folks who fly into the convention, the thousands of exhibitors, and the half million visitors. Fortunately, if you can't attend, the EAA maintains a comprehensive up to the second website where you can spend hours reading, watching and listening to the day's/week's events.
OTR hopes to return to Oshkosh in the next few years. Can't wait, in fact. Hope to see you there.
