Each year aviation enthusiasts and avgeeks alike look forward to AirVenture in Oshkosh, America’s largest annual gathering, and this July and August look to be shaping up for another great show. From a sneak peek of Disney’s new animated feature _Planes ___to a first public U.S. flight by Yves “Jetman” Rossy and musical performances by Chicago and Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band, there is a number of special events to be excited about. Monday opens up with a free concert for all attendees.
