Every year 10,000 airplanes and 500,000 to 650,000 people go to Oshkosh WI for a big fly-in. Aviation enthusiasts from all over the world attend. Many of them camp right on the airport grounds. There are thousands of trade show booths where aviation companies show their products. There are multiple, daily air shows. I've been there twice. The last time (2009), Jon went with me and we camped on the grounds.

There were lots of flight simulators and here is Jon flying one

The year Jon and I attended, Airbus brought their newly released A-380. It had not entered service yet. I took this video as they taxied in.

This is our campsite when we went in 2009
