EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016: Boeing Centennial Plaza Aircraft Display Overview

Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo

The centerpiece of aircraft static displays at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016 was Boeing Centennial Plaza.  As indicated in the name, Boeing turned 100 this year, and therefore a number of current Boeing aircraft were featured in the daily static display rotation.  The aircraft on display are a reflection of the themes of the week - Desert Storm, Coast Guard Centennial, and the gathering of Boeing and their legacy company aircraft.  Also apparent is the evolving nature of the aircraft setup and, of course, the changing weather.  We will feature specific aircraft in future posts, so check back often for these more in-depth features.
