I was raised in Wisconsin about 40 miles south of Oshkosh airport.
Air Adventure created the busiest airport in the world for that week.
The last couple working years I drove medical van for Milwaukee Veteran Hospital.
One afternoon driving north on Hy 41 with a load of Vets, the EAA was putting on a reenactment show dedicated to the pearl harbor bombing.
Those bombers circled to the west, dropped down over HY41 and simulated bombing in EAA grounds as the ground shook.
At that time of day, it was bumper to bumper traffic, and everyone was looking up at the sky looking at the low flying planes trying to drive at the same time.
I surely thought I was going to get rear ended with all the excitement.
