EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017

Post by MilitaryAttractions » Sat Aug 05, 2017 1:54 am

I volunteered at the annual Experimental Aircraft Association annual convention and fly-In and have a TON of footage to share from the event. Rather than posting it in individual threads I will try keep all the posts in 1 common location.

The main tribute to this years event was the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid.

The last member of the raid, Lt. Col. Richard E. Cole at age 101 was in attendance for the event. He did a short interview, took pictures with people and also recently had a book written about his experiences in WWII!


Later that same day 11 Airworthy B-25 Bombers performed in a "Doolittle's Raid" re-enactment that included mock bombing and pyrotechnics. 10 of the planes were staged on the concrete to give the impression of the original 16 B-25's that took off from the Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet on April 18, 1942.

Got close enough to almost touch an F-22 Raptor


Then a few days later got to see not one, but TWO F-22's take off.

The transition to vertical flight via thrust vectoring is amazing!
