Wednesday Photo Gallery: Balloonists Play With Fire; So Do Big Airliners!
The breadth of the festivities at OSH are on full display in our best Oshkosh gallery yet! (Okay, we always say that, but this one really is fantastic!)
Today’s gallery from our talented duo of photographer/videographers Jim Koepnick and Art Eichmann features a generous handful of twilight shots, of everything from warbirds at play to ultralights burning the early evening two-stroke blend. We’ve got seaplane action, balloonists playing with big fire and airliners cavorting above the crowds here at KOSH and much, much more. Enjoy!
