The Mecca of Aviation. Woodstock for Wingnuts. All names for the annual week long spectacle that takes place in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. About 10,000 planes filled with millions of people, from hundreds of countries flock to the small town for a huge airshow. Oshkosh Tower has been expected to break the record for busiest tower every Oshkosh, beating out Atlanta and New York-JFK. It's truly a sight to behold!
WEDNESDAY JULY 22, 2015
Wednesday the 25th was the first day Maximum Performance contributor JD Bostani was on scene. It was JD's first time at Oshkosh, and it was love for him at first sight. He started his day out by checking out all of the vendors on Celebration Way. Brand new demo aircraft from Cessna, Beechcraft, Piper, Cirrus, Pilatus, Diamond, and many others are showcased on Celebration Way, so it was naturally the place to start.
