AirVenture, it’s something I’ve wanted to attend for a long time and it’s more than I ever imagined. It is so all encompassing it’s hard to give a simple description of it. It’s a fly-in with hundreds of small airplanes parked in fields, the owners camping under their wings in tents, it’s an RV campground filled with aviation enthusiast that will be dismantled at the end of the week, its tents, booths, and buildings with venders selling anything to do with aviation. It’s your standard Boat or RV show purple glass cleaner vendor right next to a booth selling multi-million dollar aircraft. Its seminars, hands on work shops, films on anything to with aircraft and flying, there’s an air show every afternoon, there’s aircraft of every size and shape on display. You can ride, for a fee, in several types of helicopter, and many fixed wing airplanes, including the only airworthy B-29 Super Fortress in the world.......surely his must be heaven!
