Every summer since 1953, an aviation event has been on the local calendar in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In the early days, it wasn't much: a few like-minded flyers agthering to have a little fun and share some timely info. It has grown into the largest air show event in the entire country. It is organized by the EAA- the Experimental Aircraft Assoc.
After all the years, they've got it down. They know how to entertain and they know how to educate. Amateurs and professionals fly in from all over the world. They want to see, touch, and learn as much as they can in the 4 full days of events. Some of the best attended events are the instructional seminars offered for pilots. Our own Tahoma minister often attends 6-10 seminars to keep up with all the changes in technology related to aircraft flight and all it encompasses. he flew to Wisconsin with 2 other pilots, stopping in Yankton, South Dakota. He reports: "NOt much there to write home about".
The three flew home on Thursday, landing at Truckee Airport with its recently completed operations building-a fine example of post modern/ mountain architecture.
Our minister will be giving a full report in the next few days. Standby.
