One story towers above all the rest at Oshkosh

Picture of the Day: WomenVenture 2022
For the last 15 years, women have come together at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for WomenVenture, which gives women in aviation a place to network at the annual show. One of the highlights each year is the annual group photo. In 2022, more than 1,000 women gathered in Boeing Plaza for the group photo, according to officials with Women in Aviation. The backdrop for the group photo was the Boeing 777-200ER ecodemonstrator. (Photo by Christopher Miller)
