Last year my wife and I moved from the east coast to the\nwest coast and I took a 5-week trek from Maryland to California. It so happened\nthat right in the middle of our trip was the EAA Skiplane Fly-in, so we stopped\nby the grounds which I\u2019ve been on so many times before and saw it for the first\ntime outside of AirVenture. Even with it bundled up for the winter, it was just\nas joyous and incredible being there in the dead of winter as it is during its\nheight in the summer during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my article (read here<\/a>) I explain that even though there wasn\u2019t anything happening on the grounds I could still hear with my auditory memory the helicopters flying right over head giving enthusiasts a sky view of the grounds below. It was also easy to hear the Ford Tri-motor taking off and the B-17 soaring high above for those taking rides from Appleton. I then imagined the fighter jets buzzing by as well where in those moments it is not just the afterburners of the jets igniting, but our passion as aviation enthusiasts as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirVenture wasn\u2019t taking place in that moment in the middle of winter, but I could still sense the energy of its history in the air. Unfortunately, 2020 is like another winter where it\u2019s best if we all stay home, keep safe and warm, and wait for summer to come. But while we wait for our next summer together in Oshkosh, it\u2019s still just as easy to close our eyes and imagine ourselves there. That\u2019s exactly what the authors are doing when I read each of their stories published in the latest State Aviation Journal magazine focusing on the past decade of AirVenture<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that AirVenture creates these strong memories that\nbring us all together so well means that we\u2019re all going to come back stronger\nfrom this and it\u2019ll make the next AirVenture even greater than ever before. It\nwon\u2019t be the same as any other year, because it\u2019s going to bring a renewed\nenergy, a renewed passion, and a brand-new level of excitement from all of us\nwho attend. We\u2019ll start the tradition once again and fill it with a revitalized\nanticipation that\u2019s going to engulf us all as #OSH21 draws near. I can already\nhear the sounds of AirVenture coming in the distance\u201c\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you can hear the sounds of AirVenture too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
