It's Oshkosh -- There HAD To Be Storms... Right?
Well folks, you missed quite a blowout if you were outside of AirVenture's geographic influence. We got hit by serious rain and winds... which is not a surprise to those of you who have traipsed to Wittman Field for the last several decades. And when we say RAIN... we don't mean raindrops... we mean sheets/buckets of strong driving rain that can soak you to the skin in seconds ... which ANN's Jim Campbell found out the hard way. EAA's official report notes that, at approximately 1815, Saturday, a thunderstorm front came through Oshkosh, including Wittman Regional Airport, site of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. It was part of a line of storms across Wisconsin late that afternoon and early that evening.
