Leg 11- Meigs to Oshkosh, WI

After a month on the ground at Meigs, the home of FS, I'm off to Wittman Field Wisconsin, better known as Oshkosh, the base of the world-famous Oshkosh Airshow.

Although held in July, FS lays it on just for me in February!

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (formerly The EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In) is an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States.

The event is presented by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), a national/international organization based in Oshkosh. The airshow is seven days long and typically begins on the last Monday in July. The airport's control tower is the busiest control tower in the world during the gathering.

Note the rows of aircraft visible to the left of the runway.

Hmm, where's my spot....
