I went to my first one maybe 9 or 10 years ago.
Had a great time.
I stayed in the 70s era dorms.
I flew my Navion there 6 times. It was awesome. Search N4974W and you can see some pics of it there.
I just happened to have Flightradar24 up and I saw this long line of small planes in row headed for Oshkosh. So, I looked up the dates and there you have it.
Scary stuff!
Nice! We went a few times in the mid-90’s...borrowed the in-laws RV and stayed in “Camp Scholler”...great time!
Muslims go to Mecca. Pilots go to Oshkosh.
Mike Patey was on his way there with Turbulence and had a catastrophic engine failure at 27,000 feet when the turboprop engine exploded and quickly shut down. Mike glided for 20. minutes to a dead stick landing about 170 miles from Oshkosh. He is safe and posted a very humble video about his ordeal. Glad Mike is safe.

My sil used to volunteer for ATC duty there. She’s there now with a diff aircraft.
One of my bucket list items that I will probably never check off, as I age out. *sigh*
It happened to work out was my wife’s best friend lives in WI so they hung out in her part of the state on the way to Oshkosh for a few days and then met me on the last day.
I walked and walked and walked seeing stuff and maybe saw half of the stuff there.
A crazy few days for ATC peeps at OSH! Some more info. here:
We only had one “tornado warn” the times we went...not too soggy/”sploshy”. But the humidity!!! ;-)
Understand the races at Reno Stead will be done this year.
Too many houses built too close.
RE: Reno/Stead air races...yeah, lawyers & insurance involved too. Bummer!
