OSHKOSH, Wisconsin—EAA AirVenture 2024 kicked off Monday here at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH). FLYING and Firecrown staffers share some of their favorite photos from the week.

The Boeing X-40A made the trip from the National Museum of the United States Air Force to EAA AirVenture to join the military display. This one is a 90 percent scale version of what became the X-37B spaceplane. The aircraft was designed to be unmanned and unpowered as a first-phase flight test vehicle for the development of a reusable spacecraft for deploying satellites. [Courtesy: Meg Godlewski]

The Avro Lancaster Mk.X made the flight from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Mount Hope, Ontario. The Lancaster, like other bombers produced by the British during World War II, was designed for single-pilot operations as England and Canada did not have many pilots in the early days of the war. This aircraft is a 1945 model and is flown regularly on tour. In the nose gunner compartment of the aircraft is a wreath of red poppies. They became a symbol of remembrance after World War I when a brigade surgeon was struck by the sight of the flowers blooming on a battlefield. The red poppies have since become a symbol of the soldiers who did not survive the war. [Courtesy: Meg Godlewski]
