It happens every year in Oshkosh, just as the last airshow winds down and thousands of aviation aficionados begin dragging their chairs, coolers and kids toward their cars wondering how long it will take to exit the airport grounds. Almost at the same moment, a big collective smack to the forehead can be heard as one person after another realizes all the bits of AirVenture they missed.
