EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017: Vintage Aircraft In the Limelight

By Fred Harl

The Aero Experience coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 continues with a look at the Vintage Aircraft Area and the aircraft we encountered around the grounds.  Our "definition" of the vintage aircraft may a bit more flexible than most, to include aircraft originating from the earliest years of aviation to the post World War II period, including some crossover into Warbird types when in civilian markings.  However you define them, Vintage Aircraft are aeronautical treasures to be enjoyed for as long as possible.

This introductory post includes some views of the first weekend setup of the Vintage Aircraft Area and early arrivals.  This week, in preparation for the Vintage Aeroplane Fly-In at Creve Coeur Airport on Saturday, we will feature all Vintage Aircraft in our EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 coverage.
