One of the best parts of EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh is seeing all the vintage aircraft gathered in one place. Not only are the aircraft massed some of the finest restorations on the planet, the fact they are often privately owned and airworthy makes them that much more special.

Often organized by type, and parked in disciplined rows, these meticulously restored machines are something to behold—and learn about.
