The weather is looking great, the grounds are filling up and aviation's annual reunion is officially underway at AirVenture 2018 in Oshkosh. As outlined by EAA Communications Director Dick Knapinski in this podcast, there will be a lot of big iron on Boeing Square this week as the event recognizes the tactical airlift and air-to-air refueling arms of the military and National Guard, and the aircraft attending include a KC-135, KC-10, C-17 and a good representation of fighters and special-mission aircraft. Just for context, there is a de Havilland Mosquito and even a Pitcairn autogyro tucked in with the other olive drab. The daily airshow starts at 2 p.m. and the best performers in the business are here.
