EAA AirVenture 2025 Day 1 Review
Meyers OTW and her crew
By Ken Kula
The first day of the EAA’s AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 is in the books, with plenty of aerial activity and a rapidly filling convention ground. The North 40 parking and camping area filled up between Saturday and Monday, with arrivals now being funneled to the expanded South 40 area. Close to 5,000 flight operations occurred during the same time frame. Dry and comfortable weather allowed for the afternoon air show to go on without restrictions. Here is a quick look at some of the day’s activities and my highlights. Come back to www.Photorecon.net later tomorrow for a look at Tuesday’s highlights!
