If you made the trip to Oshkosh this year for EAA AirVenture, nobody has to tell you how good it was. You and around 550,000 of your closest aviation-crazy friends lived airplanes day and night as the crowds at Wittman Regional Airport were inundated with the sights and sounds that only the big Wisconsin airshow can deliver.

And, boy, did Oshkosh ever deliver this time around. The weather was nearly perfect the entire week, attendance was the highest it’s been in a decade and there was an all-time record in terms of aircraft movements for the week at more than 16,278, according to EAA.
