EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017: Vintage Aircraft, Part 2

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 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.

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.

"Our business is to provide a mission-ready, safe, clean aircraft while looking out for our client's best interests," Tomczak told The Aero Experience, noting that this mission statement is posted for all to see on the company's web site, and thus, they are accountable for living up to that standard.  "We take care of the whole operation so that they (aircraft owners) can just arrive and fly knowing that their aircraft is in good hands."  Gateway Jets serves St. Louis Downtown Airport and Spirit of St. Louis Airport, and manages all aspects of the flight operations, including scheduling, cleaning, maintenance inspections and contracts, fueling, crew assignments, FAA regulatory compliance and more.  Aircraft may be stored at the owner's hangar, at the Spirit of St. Louis Aero Charter hangar or in the newly available Gateway Jets hangar at St. Louis Downtown Airport.
