With AirVenture in full swing…have we mentioned recently how much like heaven Oshkosh seems to us?…the airshow has gotten under way, and our photo team, led by the legendary Jim Koepnick has been on it. An inverted ribbon cut in a Xtreme Decathlon? We got it. And so much more. Yee ha!
One of the most inconic and important aircraft in the history of commerical flying, the Ford Tri-Motor was flying early and often at AirVenture.It wasn’t what the Corsair’s designers had in mind, but they do take up less room in warbird parking with the wings folded.It’s all about the excitement of being there!The AeroShell Texans hit some pretty light on their early morning fight on Monday.A big trainer with a round engine, the North American T-28 was a popular trainer. The chief complaint of its critics? It was too easy to fly.The Geico T-6s in an exciting pass that looks too close for comfort, from the ground anyway!The PBS TJ 100 is both a sailplane and a jet! Pilot Bob Carlton puts on a great show in it, too!Airshow Central at Oshkosh AirVenture 2021.For those naysayers, this is what a busy air show looks like. Despite the pandemic and its restrictions, AirVenture 2021 is happening.A show goer checks out a well outfitted, cute little RV-14 at the Garmin display area.Greg Koontz does an inverted ribbon cut in the Xtreme Decathlon in Monday’s airshow. This ain’t no Citabria, that’s for sure.To be honest, that’s the way that Jack Klein and his fellow volunteers make us feel! Thanks, Jack!Maddison Houle looking super cool while helping out at AirVenture 2021.We admit it. Pilots are nuts. We can pick out every type of plane in what appears to mere mortals to be a senseless jumble of parts. Yes, there are a lot of airplanes here.The Columbia 400 isn’t particularly light, so folks are pushing from everywhere they can to move it back in the soft-ish grass.Agreed.
