Airshows & Fly-Ins
Picture of the Day: His First AirVenture
Scott and Jessica Goerne submitted these photos and a note: “While 2023 was our fourth time coming to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, it was our son’s first! He is only 11 months old and it turns out he loves airplanes just as much as he loves his cars and trucks at home! In the first picture we are back home with his first ever Oshkosh shirt. The second photo is from Chester V’s while at dinner. He absolutely enjoyed the traffic flying over as they were coming to land on the North 40 landing strip. Anything and everything that was flying in the sky during our stay within the campground he was looking to the sky! He especially loved the jets, but would get mad when the noise was on one side of camp but the Jet was somewhere else! We hope that in years to come we can continue this as a family tradition and he continues to learn more and love the shows just as much as we do!”

Picture of the Day: Scout at La Ferté Alais
Simon Paul submitted this photo and note: “A Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5A Scout performing at the La Ferté Alais Air Show, just south of Paris, France, on June 27, 2023. A great show with many old-timers and warbirds.”
Picture of the Day: The night before the air show
Richard Hrezo submitted this photo and note: “My RV-7A camped outside on a beautiful California evening before our town’s community air fair. My hangar was set up for Young Eagles, plus a simulator, leaving my plane outside for only the second time since first flight in 2017. Sometimes beauty just happens in front of you — or am I just proud of my build?”
Picture of the Day: Maverick
Warren Baier submitted this photo and note: “Maverick” taking a test flight at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023.”

British Bulldog is inspired Oregon creation
“This thing takes off like a bat out of hell,” said Oregon’s Ed Storos, who took two decades to build his replica British Bulldog.
Picture of the Day: Sunrise over our Champ camp
Shane Vande Voort submitted this photo and note: “My 9-year-old son Meyer and I had the great opportunity to fly our 1946 Aeronca Champ from Iowa to the annual Grassroots Fly-In at Brodhead, Wisconsin, in 2023. The only thing nicer than the weather were the people and, although we planned to spend just one night, we were having so much fun Meyer wanted to spend two nights in our tent. What a great weekend with old airplanes, my son, and our friends (old and new). This picture from my morning walk will help keep the memory of a great weekend vivid.”
