A Cub sits on display.

Would you believe that, lightly loaded, this can take off in 104 feet?

The Diamond D-Jet.

The Brown Arch. You can buy a brick on this walkway as a donation to the EAA.

Helicopters line up against the fence.

More cleaning. Every airplane must look immaculate for the show.

The ICON A5 light sport amphibian.

Matt Chapman's Embry-Riddle-sponsored airplane waits until it gets to perform.

One of the switching panels for the hundreds of lights on the Grimes Flying Lab.

Even on a Wright Flyer, you can get leather seats.

A Beech Starship sits in the hangar. Another Burt Rutan design, and not a common airplane to see.

Even the airplanes are anxious to go flying.

A passenger is loaded onto a Bell 47 for a ride around the grounds.

WhiteKnightTwo demonstrates how quiet it is and how well it can perform.

Under the massive wing of an A380.

A King Air C90 taxis out. Who would ever want to leave Oshkosh?
