June is upon us, and with it comes eager anticipation for the general aviation event of the year, EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After months of seemingly endless cold weather and extended hours of darkness, we’re on the brink of epic times with lifelong friends.
AirVenture (July 21-27) is a massive fly-in where over 10,000 airplanes arrive for a weeklong celebration of all things aviation. It’s best experienced as an airplane owner. There’s nothing quite like waking up beneath your own wing to the sound of P-51s taking off in formation only a few hundred feet away. “Bad” days are still fantastic, even when they involve heavy rain or clouds of mosquitoes so thick they deserve mention in METARs.
