AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 was a bustling aviation event, featuring diverse aircraft from vintage planes and popular homebuilts to corporate jets and large military aircraft.
The show celebrated significant anniversaries, including the 80th for Piper Aircraft with numerous Cubs, and the 75th of the Doolittle Raid with B-25 bombers.
Key attractions included powerful warbirds like the B-52, B-29 *Doc* (making its inaugural appearance), and the CAF C-47 *That's All, Brother*, alongside the Blue Origin New Shepard space vehicle.
