Aviation news international – After more than 35 years of attending EAA AirVenture Oshkosh<\/a>\u00a0as part of my job, I was looking forward to spending an entire week being able to pick and choose where, when, and what I wanted to see and do at the 2023 show.<\/p>\n

Previous years found me teaching a course titled \u201cOshkosh\u201d with 20 or more students, first for Georgia State University and later for Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU).<\/p>\n

Later years I would be working a tent exhibit for ERAU or Parks College.<\/p>\n

And the last 20-plus years I was busy either manning the booth for Women in Aviation (WAI), meeting with sponsors and exhibitors for the annual WAI conference, or speaking at a forum or other presentation.<\/p>\n

But this year I was faced with a delightful dilemma: Nothing to do. And by that I mean no scheduled activities. I could do whatever I wanted to do.<\/p>\n

Having attended Oshkosh every year, except two, since 1978, I was familiar with the layout and opportunities to explore.<\/p>\n
