Oshkosh on Google Earth!

[Mick]

For those of you who have been lucky enough to attend the "Mecca of Aviation" this will bring back great memories. For those who have not been yet, have a look and you will get an idea of what those of us who have been rant about.

 

The latest images on google earth of Oshkosh were taken during Airventure 2011.

 

Simply type "Oshkosh Wisconsin" into the search function in google earth to be taken to the city of Oshkosh. The airport is on the southern edge of the city.

 

Zoom in and pan around to see the thousands of aircraft parked on the field. Also note the huge camping area to the west of the main display area.

 

You can also just make out the colored dots on the runway that mark the multiple aim points for aircraft touching down at three points along the runway similtainiously. The only way they can accomodate this many aircraft in such a short time!

 

I hope everyone else enjoys looking at this as much as I did.............

Never been there but would love to. Amazing. This certainly shows how big this event is. There is plenty of underwing camping as well & there even looks to be a special parking area for Vari Eze's. Thanks for the link.
