Plane & Pilot Photo Of The Week: Oshkosh From Both Sides Now

This week’s Photo Of The Week consists of two photos, both unusual shots of Oshkosh’s Wittman Regional Airport, both taken by Plane & Pilot editor-in-chief Isabel Goyer from two very different kind of airplanes on two very different days.

Oshkosh From Both Sides Now. Photos by Isabel Goyer

With the 2022 edition of AirVenture Oshkosh around the corner, we wanted to share a couple of shots that show OSH as it was and could have been, and how it will look come July 25th. This first photo is of Wittman Regional taken from the right seat of a CJ1+ on downwind to Runway 18 in October of 2018, so the field was largely empty, a view that Oshkosh attendees who visit from out of state seldom get to see. 

This second photo was also taken by the editor, but from the top gunner's position of Boeing B-29 Fifi. It shows the AirVenture show grounds with the ultralight strip prominent at the lower center of the shot. How big is OSH? Well, suffice it to say that everything you can see in this photograph, with a couple of tiny cutouts for non-airport, non-EAA properties, is AirVenture. And we look forward to helping fill up this year's photo frame for AirVenture 2022!
