Thunderpig!
Fifty years ago, in March 1973, U.S. military forces officially withdrew from South Vietnam after eight long years of conflict. This year at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023, we’re honoring the aircraft and veterans of the Vietnam War. If you take a stroll out to the Warbirds area, you’ll see a number of Hueys, Skyraiders, and other aircraft of the era.

Matching a Tailwheel to the Terrain
In my earlier article, “Chasing a Better Backcountry Experience” in the April 2023 issue, I promised a follow-up on the importance of matching a tailwheel to the terrain.

This Runway Is a Keeper, New Airport Owner Says
Owning a grass strip has been a longtime goal for Jonathan and Liz Amundsen.

Self-Debriefing Your AirVenture Experience
Every flying lesson ends with a debriefing. What worked, what didn’t, where can improvements be made? If you recently attended The Big Show in Oshkosh, or tried to, you should debrief your experience so you are better prepared for next time. This is something I do in all areas of my life, which is why I never drive near Atlanta or consume low-quality ice cream...Read more
