Fly In Show, a photo from Wisconsin, Midwest

Photographer's Note

The fields of Oshkosh become landing strips and parking areas for thousands of airplanes each summer. It's a "fly in" show, meaning that the prefered (or at least most stylish) mode of transport is to fly by your own plane. We flew in a friend's plane from the East coast.

The theme in 1995 was World War II. I was amazed at how many perfectly kept airplanes there were (easily several hundred). Just as amazing is that some people collect them - even the big ones!

To find out about the current show, there should be something on the EAA web site or other web site.

Thanks for the wonderful shot of the DC-3.
In the late 70's I was fortunate to get to fly as co-pilot on a DC-3, and jump from one many times - I was a smokejumper in Montana.
This is one of my favorite airplanes.
