EAA AirVenture Oshkosh: July 24-30, 2017
For personal reasons, Team Aux is unable to attend this year. But, we always hold out hope for next year! Whether you’re a seasoned vet of Oshkosh (otherwise known as “EAA AirVenture,”) or a first-timer, I know that next week will be one of the most special aviation events of your life!
For now, let’s experience the #Oshkosh adventure virtually, right here, right now!

The Experience
OSH17—A Primer!
For anyone who’s ever attended, the Oshkosh experience is both overwhelming and unforgettable. Think of it as your weekend airshow on steroids, quadrupled up, and presented all week long!
In fact, as we speak, attendees are already flying and RV’ing in!

Even so, though the Venture adventure officially lasts from Monday through Sunday, those attending will still never see it all. Multiple events are happening simultaneously, from Warbird exhibitions to new product unveilings to—yes, of course, the airshows!
Of which, Oshkosh has a plethora. At least one per day, lasting about two hours, and Wednesday and Saturday will have a second night show as well. This is one of the ultimate highlights of the week, so whether you plan on attending one day or seven, be sure your visit includes a night show!
All hail the sacred P-51 Mustang! I can’t help but drop to my knees and, with teary eyes, hail the line of my all-time favorite airplane!
The Planes
OSH17—A Primer!
Of course, the stars of the show are what you’ve come for—the thousands of planes, from antiques to uniques, from airliners to military, from seaplanes to ultralights. Oh, yeah, and by the way, don’t forget to schedule a couple hours to hop on a free bus over to the seaplane pond!
During lulls in the activities (of which there are few!) you can always wander through the acres and acres of private planes flown in for the week. There, you can often chat with the planes’ owners and pilots themselves, many of whom simply camp under their wing all week, and all of whom have fascinating stories to tell!

The People

This Year
OSH17—A Primer!
Every year has a theme, and this year, its “the year of the bomber.” On Monday, July 24th, a B-1 Lancer flyover officially kicks off the week. Wednesday will feature a reenactment of the famous Doolittle Raid (75 years ago), complete with a formation of no less than a dozen B-25s! Saturday has been dubbed, “Bomber Day,” and culminates in a “composite flyby” of a B-2, a B-1, and a B-52 Stratofortress.
What’s more, the kings of all airshows, the Blue Angels, will be performing!
See the schedule and links, below.
One word: WOW!
OSH17—A Primer!
Speaking of bombers, this year will also include a weeklong visit of the only DC-3 in history to be dispatched as a bomber . . .

YES! I’m talking about the one and only Miss Cleveland, the Breitling-restored DC-3 that we’ve been chatting about all month, that is nearly in the home stretch in its bid to become the oldest aircraft to fly around the world!
Those of you who subscribe to Airways Magazine should be starting to get your next issue in the mailbox, which features my Miss Cleveland article as the cover story. If you’re not a subscriber, be sure to hit your local Barnes & Noble around the 25th of the month to snag an issue. But be quick: if your B&N store is anything like ours, those suckers tend to sell out fast!
As a last resort, you can order an issue online through the Airways Magazine website, at http://airwaysmag.com/store.
Extra Goodies
OSH17—A Primer!
Just cuz I’m not quite ready to say buh-bye to Oshkosh quite yet, here’s a collection of videos I did from years past, including an interview with the cast of Airplane Repo, the ever-charming Amelia Rose Earhart, and more. Let’s kick it off with a couple of my favs!
