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.

Crazy that you posted this. I'm in the middle of watching the latest video from Mike Patey (of Draco fame) who lost his engine in Turbulence while flying to Airventure 2023.

Scary stuff!

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.

Too many houses built too close.
