Record amounts of rain fell in the Oshkosh area just prior to the official start of this year’s AirVenture, leaving campers scurrying for mud-less places to pitch tents and park RVs.

In fact, no more than an occasional sprinkle from above interrupted AirVenture’s celebration of this, its 50th year at Oshkosh Wittman Regional Airport (OSH). A look at the data from the show is really the best way to see the impact the nation’s largest air show has on the local and worldwide aviation community.
