Greetings from Wisconsin! Today is the first day from EAA Airventure 2013, here in lovely Oshkosh. The show is being held right at the headquarters of the EAA, and we\u2019re located in Hangar D, booth 4133.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re demonstrating Icarus AeroflyFS with our Saitek F.L.Y.5<\/sup>, Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII<\/em>, alongside our procedure trainer. Crowds were bustling! I\u2019m completely new to the world of flight sim, and starting with the Oshkosh Airventure 2013 was like learning how to swim by being thrown into the Mariana Trench. Exciting and not a little intimidating, but I think I\u2019m learning how to float.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try to take more photos of EAA Airventure\u2019s huge and various interests, but here\u2019s a few things that caught my eye:<\/p>\n

The day ended with a fly-by by a bright and gleaming B-25, and a loud demonstration of the Harrier jet\u2019s vertical take off and landing capabilities.<\/p>\n
