AirVenture Oshkosh Day 4
Looking back at the Korean War 75 years later
By Ken Kula
On the fourth day of AirVenture Oshkosh, there were many changes to the static aircraft collection parked parked on Boeing Plaza. The weather turned from warm to hot, and strong rain showers ended the afternoon air show slightly earlier than planned. The week-long event is just over half way over, but the crowds keep coming!
