Last time I went, there were nearly 900,000 planes there. It's the biggest AirShow in the world. You'll find EVERY kind of plane there imaginable.

It's about 20 minutes from my house. I've gone a few times but little planes are kinda boring - they need more military jets, both on display, and in the airshows.

Man I would love to be going to Oshkosh for this. During the show Oshkosh is the busiest airport in the world.

I live 20minutes away & have been there several times. The most impressive is always the warbirds show. Man, are those planes loud!

I'm back. It was great. And I've logged 2 hours of dual now in a 1939 Tiger Moth. It was fantastic.

I should get back into aviation... I used to be real enthusiastic about it. Never logged any time with an instructor though (didn't know any instructors, just a few cessna owners)

Yeah, I'm pretty spoiled that I've pretty much grown up around CFIs.
