What an astounding week... AirVenture 2023 drew a record attendance of some 677,000 visitors—surpassing the previous record-high mark of 650,000 set in 2022.
Over AirVenture 2023’s duration, upwards of ten-thousand fixed and rotary wing contraptions of every conceivable design and derivation descended upon Oshkosh, Wisconsin’s Wittman Regional Airport (OSH)—which recorded 21,883 aircraft operations over the 11-day period spanning 20 through 30 July. The Airbus Perlan Mission II team, which comprises a company of the aviation industry’s most celebrated test pilots and renowned climate scientists, has safely weathered Patagonia’s harsh, Southern Hemispheric winter. After traveling more than 25,000 miles and visiting upwards of twenty nations for purpose of raising both awareness of polio and funds to combat the crippling viral disease, pilots Peter Teahen and John Ockenfels have landed their jointly-owned Cessna 210 Centurion at Southern California’s French Valley Airport (RBK).
