OshKosh

I'm just beginning to learn what it means to be a pilot's wife, and haven't found anything to complain about yet. We both had the weekend off and got word that Oshkosh (the world's LARGEST aviation show) was going on in WI. As soon as Jason found out he had a trip planned, so I decided to go along with him:)  We left early saturday morning so we could spend time checking out all the planes before the air show started.  We had a great time, and lucky for you, took lots of pictures! 

This is an amphibious plane. It can take off and land on water or ground. There are only 3 like it in the world. This one is from the Caribbean.

This plane was from the British Army, insanely huge and powerful.

There were also a few helicopters....

All branches of the military were there showing off some of their gigantic airplanes. 

This one can fly as either a plane or helicopter...in this picture is it halfway through changing it's wings from props to rotary.

To start the air show they had jumpers come down with the American flag.

There were some many planes flying, you couldn't watch them all..at one point Jason counted 43 planes in the air!

They did an awesome bombing demonstration with B17 bombers and P51 mustangs. They detonated TNT as the planes flew by. It was so loud that the ground was shaking. 

If you look closely you can see one of the bombers, right after they released the bombs.

They flew straight at us and created what they call a "wall of fire."
