EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023: Week in Review with Piston Aviation

By Carmelo Turdo
The Aero Experience looks back one more time on our coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023. We spent 10 days on site, gathering nearly 10,500 photos and video clips from the nation's largest aviation event. This series was made possible by our sponsor, Piston Aviation, the area's newest and fastest-growing flight school and aircraft service provider located at Creve Coeur Airport and St. Louis Regional Airport. 

The Aero Experience coverage of EAA AirVenture 2023 has an added dimension of including the Piston Aviation team's three exhibit booths - Skylist Pro Flight Management Software, Bristell Midwest and Future Pilots Fund. Two Bristell LSAs, the Future Pilots Fund Cherokee raffle plane and several ground vehicles set out for Oshkosh Friday morning and arrived in the early afternoon. (One of the Bristell LSAs was flown to Fond Du Lac County Airport for demo rides later in the week). The tents were in place and the crew was ready to open Monday morning for a fun and eventful week. 

Our posts over the last year followed The Aero Experience theme of providing our first-hand coverage while encouraging everyone to experience the wonders of aviation for themselves. We hope that what you see here in our review is educational, entertaining and inspirational for the pursuit of aviation by those already in the industry and for general audiences alike.
