Throngs of aviators and aircraft enthusiasts once again descended on northeastern Wisconsin this week to catch the best of the industry's past and future.
The EAA AirVenture kicked off its annual week-long run at Wittman Regional Airport in the Experimental Aircraft Association's native Oshkosh.
The event, the world's largest yearly gathering of aviation enthusiasts, draws 10,000 airplanes and hundreds of thousands of spectators from across the globe.
In addition to the traditional attractions of airshows, vintage aircraft and stunt performers, this year's AirVenture also includes prototype electric planes, a celebration of Boeing's centennial and the first Airbus A321 to be manufactured in the U.S.
