Getting excited about planning your trip to OshKosh 2019? We are too!
Here is a list of 5 five things that you have to do when planning your trip to OshKosh.
(Sorry, EAA AirVenture, everyone is supposed to be politically correct these days)

1. Stop at an interesting FBO on your way to the show!
If you are coming from the west coast, plan on getting fuel at Leadville, CO. It is officially the highest FBO in the United States and is an awesome trip to cross off your flying bucket list. The elevation is 9,934' and the views on your descent are out of this world!
You don't have to stop at Leadville, but try to find an interesting feature to see on your way to OshKosh and make sure to take a different route on the way home.
Remember, the airways less traveled make all the difference! :)

2. Make sure to check out the Warbirds!
The WWII era aircraft and era-specific vehicles and clothing are awesome. There are some dedicated people that will be in era-appropriate clothing all week in JULY just to give a sense of authenticity.

Watching them sweat in the wool uniforms makes you thankful for the sacrifices that male and female aviators of our past armed forces had to endure.
Each year there is a signature warbird that will be shown, most of the time it is an aircraft that has been fully restored and debuts at the show.
Hopefully, the XP-82 will be there this year in all it's glory!
