Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Oshkosh isn't just about things that fly. Its really about people, from the WWII pilot that may be making his last significant excursion from his house to re-live, just for a moment, the glory days of his youth, to the young person who just got his private pilot ticket and has flown several hundred miles in a J-3, to the military pilots assigned the "awful" duty of attending Oshkosh to talk to the public about flying the baddest thing in the air, to the widow visiting Oshkosh in remembrance of her husband that hadn't missed an OSH gathering in 50 years, her eyes full of tears - she sees him standing just behind that other person everywhere she glances."
