Thanks to MISASA's prize draw for a trip to oshkosh, i was the lucky winner, i had an awesome time at the world's biggest air show. One can not really know how many planes and people are there unless you attended it yourself. here are just a few pics of the nearly 2000 i took.

the south-african camp was a buzz between all the campers in their RVs.

from the air one could see how many planes and campers there were along the 5km runway of the Whitmann airfeild. this is just a small section where private pilots camped next to their planes.

the americans are really into home builds and ultra-lights of all kinds were shown. this is one of those for which no pilot's or plane license is required.

the daily airshow with its variety of planes and acrobatics was a highlight.

one of the special planes was the Osprey with its unique engine configuration for taking off vertically and the flying like a normal plane.
