What exactly is this? Never heard of it
Its the largest airshow in North America, if not the world. Military and civilian performances. Aircraft manufacturers, pilot accessory manufacturers, and others showing off their latest and greatest. Oshkosh becomes the world's busiest airport during EAA Airventure. Hundreds of aircraft and their pilots fly in for this.
