Editor's Note: While the ANN crew returns home (especially after Southwest waylaid a few of them), and gets some well-earned rest, we are proud to re-present our OSHKOSH Airborne episodes. We will return to our regular, intense, daily schedule early next week... and we have some really cool stuff to show you!
The term 'Esprit de Corps' is often associated with parts of aviation that tend to one gender... but NOT at Oshkosh... where the WAI and 99s communities (among others) have proven that women have more than the right stuff... they ARE the right stuff.

How do you train the next generation of aviators to prepare for aircraft that are unlike anything they have flown before??? You simulate it... ANN’s Rex Alexander gives it a try. A Kitfox can go just about anywhere... and sometimes that means really rough turf... but a new offering makes it possible for the iconic Kitfox to go just about anywhere... Our good friend, John ‘Lites’ Leenhouts presented the newly formed Association of Professional Warbird Operators to the AirVenture community, and started listing what this aggressive program is planning to do on behalf of the historic treasures that they protect. It’s hard to keep up with Gogo... whether you refer to their 5G products or the sat system that hasd the potential to connect the aviation world... let’s check in with them to see what’s up... literally. One of the more enjoyable spectacles that dot the Oshkosh landscape is the annual “Formation Flight” and gathering of an amazing cadre of peddle
planes powered by today’s aviation-inspired kiddies. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
