Each year, the EAA’s AirVenture Oshkosh attracts a dizzying array of aircraft to the Whittman Regional Airport. The event is a visually exciting experience, with a wide range of aircraft color schemes on the field. The true colors of some owner’s imagination, or a military necessity, or even a lack of color can attract your attention.
