Day three of the EAA’s AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 has been completed. Rain in the morning gave way to a pleasant afternoon, and threatening skies – which appeared after the daytime show – magically dissipated before the first nighttime air show of the week.

Assignment and Content Editor, writer and photographer. A New Englander all of my life, I've lived in New Hampshire since 1981. My passion for all things aviation began at a very early age, and I coupled this with my interest of photography during college in the late 1970s. I've spent 35 years in the air traffic control industry, and concurrently, enjoyed many aviation photography and writing adventures, which continue today. I've been quite fortunate to have been mentored by some generous and gifted individuals. I enjoy contributing to this great site and working with some very knowledgeable and equally passionate aviation photojournalists.
