I love that you have access to the aircraft. People walking around and filming big thundering warbirds as they taxi and run up. Of course there are marshals there to keep you safe, but in Australia they would be fenced in and no-one allowed within. I hope you keep that relaxed and accessible feel.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

The DC-3 is one awesome plane. For my reunion with my fellow Paratroopers in my unit whom the last time I saw them was 29 years ago I got to jump out of one. The DC-3/C-47 I jumped out of was a Navy transport made in 1941 and survived the war. It was a privilege and an honor to parachute out of a plane that old. Now I know how the old WWII Paratroopers felt like jumping out of it during training and in combat. Majority of my jumps were made from modern aircraft like the C-130, C-141, CH-47 Chinook helicopter, UH-60 Helicopter, and the UH-1 Bell helicopter. The DC-3/C-47 was the most awesome experience leaping out into the sky and falling down to earth. It was a blast!

[@MsdemonMac]

Guys, I love your videos! You made me homesick. Did you know that during the week of the EAA, the Oshkosh airport becomes the busiest airport in the WORLD? A lot of the "over-flow" planes land in my hometown airport, or cornfield, 20 miles south, in Fond du Lac. I first attended EAA with my family, i'm guessing over 50 years ago. It was much smaller, but my dad loved roaming among all of the planes.and being able to crawl through most of them. All of the pilots are all so happy to talk about their planes. Thanks for sharing your experience there this year. I felt like I was there with you.

[@codybell4110]

Those ford tri motors are a trip back in time took a flight on them this year such a treat first time also ever flying I cought the bug for sure heres to OSH19

[@tom_olofsson]

Oshkosh is worth the trip.

[@cdlady54_95]

You won't believe what happened today in Chicago. One of the planes from this show flying back to Cleveland OH had an emergency landing on Lake Shore drive. Its a two passenger blue with yellow wings plane. His engine began losing power and the pilot did a mayday call stating he only had 30% engine power landing in the midst of traffic flying under a walkway bridge, a Harrison Ford maneuver, with no one hurt in the plane or cars! God is good!!

[@stevenvicino8687]

I first attended the "fly-in" when it was in Rockford Illinois. I grew up watching the Red Devils with Gene Soucy, Tom Poberezny and Charlie Hillard. And lets not forget the immortal R.A. "Bob" Hoover. I actually teased Bob about who cleans the grass stains off his plane. He laughed and said if he put them there he should clean them himself. That was a great time to be 10 years old.

[@vernwallen4246]

I loved all the"BIRDS"but the P-51-D is the"cats meow".Thanks too all the pilots and staff for your time/efforts.USA!

[@carlreiche4991]

Watched this from South Africa. On my bucket list...

[@montydanable]

Great vid, I loved the F4U as a kid, watching, "Baa, Baa Blacksheep."

[@fande3rls88]

one f4u was BLACKSHEEP

[@rpopelar]

Awesome! When I retire in a couple of years and get my Van that is one of the first places I go.

[@estried86]

I've camped there 27 consecutive years and I go for the whole week. There is no other place on earth quite like Oshkosh.

[@mrs3533]

Going Friday and Saturday!

[@eng.alaanajem509]

Today is a great day, I've never seen before like this amazing Show.... OSHKOSH 2018.......

[@matthewlewis4469]

I used to go with my dad. I was lucky enough to see the Concord fly over and do a touch and go. It was to big to land on that runway. What an awesome event. I miss going.

[@mauriliozamora6627]

I live in Madison Wisconsin and I can't believe that I missed the air show again ! I'm glad you both had a great time.

[@larrywilson652]

Glad to see you back at EEA again , always a good show .

[@VernonWallace]

I agree Joe. WOW Heaven on earth.

[@VernonWallace]

Loved that Ford Tri-Motor.

[@chuckrush477]

Thanks so much for not having music when there are engines to be heard. Very cool

[@brianwhitaker6040]

Thanks I wish I was there. I should put it on my bucket list

[@HoundDogMech]

This is my 47th straight year of Attendance First was 1972. Even came home 1 day early on our honeymoon in '75 to make the last day of OSH. It was called The EAA Convention back then. Then again I live 61.44 air miles south of OSH VOR.

[@michaelgehrke9297]

Glad to see you guys up in our neck of the woods . Looks like you had a great time . Hello from Merrill , Wisconsin .

[@jamesmckinney3311]

Need to make sure I get to this event next year!

[@dichromatic6003]

Wonderful. Words just can't explain the enjoyment.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

Hey, I was there, too! Stayed in a big RV that a friend rented. Man, it is the biggest camping event ever... and I think there were a few planes around, too. I took a ride in one of the Trimotors. A friend did the $2600 hour long Mustang ride... he said it was epic, something you'd never forget. I'm jelly. I wish I had that coin to drop!

[@queenbetsy2]

Our son-in-law flew his Piper to that airshow last week. He had a blast and it sounds like you did too.

[@skyhawk5265]

Great video! I used to work on the #5 Corsair at 19 seconds and know the pilots in the Mustang (Sweet Mary Lou) at 20 seconds. Airventure has always been a special place, I have been many times but have missed it the last four years. Thanks for sharing.

[@Weretherussos]

That's awesome and please extend a big thank you to those pilots and everyone who works to keep those great planes in the air!

[@Roy-oo8kf]

One of your best yet.

[@di557dianebritson]

Roy I agree!

[@michellestephenson1680]

I hope to ride in the Tri-motor next year! What a sound!

[@stevenvicino8687]

I attended my first EAA fly-in at Rockford Illinois. My, how things have changed. I remember waking up to bacon and engines warming up at the same time. Stepping out of my tent and seeing a P-51 right next door. Long time ago.

[@jrossi9250]

Most hotel rooms are booked years in advance. Rv'ng (or sleeping in the back seat of my 182) are some of the few choices available. I slept under the wing one year and fed the entire mosquito population. One of the greatest sights each summer. Everyone should attend.

[@MsdemonMac]

jrossi9250 When I was a kid I had heard about the pilots sleeping under the plane wings. Sorry about the mosquitoes. Being close to the lake brings them in.

[@HoundDogMech]

Wisconsin. in wet years. is noted for it Twin Engine Mosquitoes.

[@HoundDogMech]

Cindy: Where in Michigan? Back in the late sixties while stationed at K.I.Sawyer AFB I Swear There were a couple 8 Engine Skeeters competing for Landing clearance with the B-52's

[@cynthiaklenk6313]

Its worth the itch LoL

[@ghost307]

There are huge areas of the field where you can pitch a tent under your wing or next to your plane.You can also camp onsite in Camp Scholler...which is the size of a small town.

[@blippacg]

Can't remember seeing Joe smiling so much in his videos.

[@johncollins9745]

Sorry I missed you guys. I was in the AOPA tent across from the Brown Arch where Kate gave her tips!

[@mark_osborne]

Your camera work is truly spectacular - thanks for this video !... it's the best glimpse of Oshkosh ever

[@CanuckHogmaster]

Great video, I've added a new item to my bucket list.

[@tagoooU]

Flew in a Ford TriMotor out to Put-in-Bay in 1965. Island Airlines. I think they flew them into the late 70`s. Near Sandusky Ohio

[@jcro2066]

I was the Battery commanders driver so drove many miles on a Willy's Jeep ;)

[@ritabroils6190]

Wow, all the planes! I like the Red Tails!!

[@atreyuprincipalh4043]

Thank You for posting your great experiences, blessings,and a lot of happiness to you both.cheers!

[@goodnbuzzd2058]

My wife and I watched you film the sun protection part. :) I laughed to see my truck and campsite in this video. Great video.

[@joycebarnett5813]

That was amazing. There sure are a lot of different types of aircraft. That would have been fun to be there. I bet that at times it really got noisy. Thanks for sharing

[@stevejohn1843]

P-51 Mustang - SPECTACULAR SOUND! No Announcer

[@rimonagale1625]

Amazing show!

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Thanks for sharing that great video. We have been traveling back home Wisconsin, for over 30 years and have never made the Air Show wow it is now on the bucket list! A side note we just got back from Charleston SC in our new Hymer Aktiv 1.0 2

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Also Go Packers!

[@shaunat589]

Great over view of the event. Went there a while back this brought back good memories. Cheers

[@donnaharris4459]

That was spectacular!! Love 😍 you guys 💕

[@larrygosselin8610]

Wish I had known you guys were going to be there. My wife and I live just a few miles South of the air field. We have gone to Airventure several times.

[@EagleOne49]

Excellent!

[@carlaupschick9082]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!

[@jedjohnson6810]

We had our PC-24 and PC-12 on display at the Pilatus booth near the entrance...stop and say hello next time.

[@craigmorrison6498]

Never knew there was such an air show like that. Awesome video! Stay safe.

[@flybyairplane3528]

Russo’s, glad to see you made to EAA, THIS YEAR, never been,,but years ago they had quite a show at READING PENNSYLVANIA., ALSO a local one in SUSSEX NJ, sadly they are all gone.

[@johnshipley6653]

I'm a RC er and I have always wanted to attend..

[@noodles2452]

Definitely going this year if covid is gone by then!

[@nickthehealthinsuranceguy7820]

Hey I’m passing Oshkosh right now...!

[@jeffinphoenix]

So cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@Panicargo]

Man I wish I went this year it looks so cool even though I went in 2016

[@robertomstead8984]

Loved it !! thanks for sharing

[@ockteby]

Glad to see you-all again :)

[@randyporter3491]

Great video, thanks for sharing !

[@AKRichardM]

Fantastic! Thanks for the video...

[@marioreis7347]

Very Nice video! Hail from Sao Paulo - Brazil.

[@paulcourtemanche2386]

What a great Vlog. I miss the big airshow that we used to have here in NH, at the old Pease Airforce base

[@gailrobinson7125]

Would love to see that air show. Love the military planes, especially the B-17s and B-29s since my dad was a tail gunner in both planes during WWII. Seeing Joe riding in the Jeep reminded me of Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John in MASH. Looked like fun. Very nice video of the air show. Some of that flying is scary , though! 👍😍

[@johnosbourn4312]

Great video, folks!

[@johnosbourn4312]

Also, my favorite Warbird is a tie between the Mustang, and the Corsair.

[@MikeandLisasExcellentAdventure]

Love it. I was in the Air National Guard and worked on A10s and F16s here in Madison Wisconsin. Nice to see you had fun!

[@georgegesualdi432]

Very cool, thanks you so much for putting this together!!!

[@vanssan1414]

fantastic video thank you

[@dyer2cycle]

Great to see Jim Tobul's F4U-4 #416 flying again...I was at Columbia, SC Nov.10, 2002, when it crashed, sad day, RIP Joe Tobul...then I was set to see it again post-restoration at Peachtree-Dekalb airport near Atlanta,circa=2014 or so,(can't remember if it was 2013,14,15....), but unfortunately, it flipped on landing at arrival in a crosswind...so I didn't get to see it. Maybe again someday soon.... I know it was a Korean War veteran, and had some actual combat damage repairs. I do wonder how much of it is original(pre-2002 crash), or is it essentially a new aircraft with 416's identity now?....

[@di557dianebritson]

The Military love to show off the gear used and provide individual education!!! Still love all things military.

[@ericvaneck4296]

Traveled a long ways since last week from the NE US. My mother was one of the people who painted the nose art on the bombers during WWII and my grandfather wasn’t real happy that she was painting racey pictures of women. Was a different time bad then.

[@bigglesflysagain1749]

Excellent presentation...one of the best I've seen !

[@elizabethlarose3632]

Great video!

[@ballisticv]

Great video of Air Venture! I couldn't make it there this year, but I often go since it's only a 2.5 hour drive for me. Yep, you should have taken the bus. I learned that the hard way too.

[@thearmadilliestone]

Cool stuff!

[@IrishManJT]

Well done.

[@DanStratocaster1]

Thanks. Nice video. I’m planning to go for 2019.

[@gbryant261]

Great video! Brought back so many memories of when I was at the show in 1990. No where near as large as now but we had some great exhibits; the stealth fighters, the B-17, a Lockheed Constellation, the Concord and of course, lots of war birds. My favorite was when I got to fly a Ford Tri-motor around Lake Winnebago. Paid $80 to fly as the co-pilot, took control once we cleared 500 feet until we got below 500 feet on final. I wonder what it would cost now. Thanks.

[@grendelgrendelsson5493]

I was interested to see the Mosquito; my step-Granddad worked on them after he'd worked on Hurricanes and Spitfires in 1940. In 1942 he got gobby with a foreman and he found himself in the Royal Fusiliers inside three months! In the village where I live, a B-17 crashed on a row of cottages and I can remember an old chap having some of the glass from a gun turret as a green-house. In the next village is the grave of two USN aircrew. They were learning AI radar use but their Identification Friend or Foe beacon broke down and they were shot down by anti-aircraft fire. The grave is tended lovingly by the villagers and the flowers are beautiful. I believe that the ground in which the poor lads are buried was given to the USA so that they could rest in American soil. Many members of my family never came home from WWI or WWII and I hope that those who have graves are cared for just as well.

[@henrietta9206]

Grendel Grendelson sigh. Sorry for your loss.... They fought for freedom....a high Prize. We have them to thank.... Thank you!

[@karinross66]

You were here!! Wish I had known, I live in Appleton!

[@dsanford12]

Very cool show I hope you bought an MRE like to see you do a video about it in the future , 👍

[@jacktravler6105]

cars of the EAA

[@RogerWilco1]

FYI- this is the second week in a row I’ve skipped your video because I didn’t recognize it in my feed, and then wondered “don’t they have videos on Wednesday?” only to look in the subscription and find it. I think you need a logo or symbol on your title card that is unique. The Font is unusual but not enough. Just a suggestion, I bet less dedicated viewers may be missing some of your videos. Big fan of your channel!

[@jacktravler6105]

do more on the cars the VW's look fun and needed

[@av8tore71]

I live in KRFD and at one time the EAA was here but the local government didn't want the people and noise so it moved to KOSH and the rest is history.

[@davecrupel2817]

The videos dont do those old warbird engines justice. To a camera, and thus to youtube, the engines sound like they're put-put-puttering. Oohhh no.... Those engines, my friends, are *rumbling* with power. They sound angry. They sound wholesome. They sound powerfull. They sound ready to be pushed to the breaking point, and that full throttle is a walk in the park for them. And when they roar by for takeoff, especially the bombers, it is an experience to remember.

[@gwenmazer3571]

You are only 20 minutes north of me as I live in Fond du Lac. I have been following you for some time now and plan to retire in a couple years and hit the road. Enjoy the show.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Wonderful! Just to say, though: here in Britain, having 'Naked Fanny' painted on the nose of your aircraft would raise quite a few eyebrows! ;-)

[@dalaroo6871]

Hey mate, bloody AWESOME, dont get shows as big as that in AUSSIE 🇦🇺 cheers

[@kathythomas7371]

There is some “Crazy Galute” here in OKI that flies out over the ocean in a red bi-plane and does BARREL ROLLS and LOOPS. I think he takes passengers, but NOT ME !

[@stevejohn1843]

seems this venue puts on a good display.. same venue for a p51 video that can only be described as the only one you want to see.. search p51 whistle..

[@u.s.patriot3415]

Just stumbled onto channel and subscribed.🙏🇺🇸👍

[@chareagletalley2530]

Never been to Oshkosh, but many an airshow here in Wichita, most of them held at McConnell AFB. When I saw Doc, I was so happy to see 'him' traveling now! I was priviledged to to get inside this aircraft when it first arrived to Wichita for restoration, and got many pics inside. I was a volunteer at the KS Aviation Museum, (the old Wichita Municipal Airport), and Doc was being restored in a hangar at the Boeing side. However, my 2 favorite's are that P-51 Mustang, and of course, the Stearman! Been flying in a Stearman twice!! That was awesome!

[@ChiefStones]

Wow must of just missed you guys. I was in the same area you guys were almost at the same point during some of your filming.

[@rickyt5363]

im sorry i missed you, but you are missing out on half the show, by not staying in the camp ground, Movies at night, night air show, first EAA 1983 , full time 8 days camp ground 21 years, still not enough time to see and do it all. greats week of the year with like minded friends .

[@gypsiewanderer24]

6:51 did he end up purchasing a ticket? Looks like him in the back seat?

[@HoundDogMech]

Joe: Really a nice job. Would really like to know what Video Audio equipment and Editor you use.

[@Jbmc65]

You looked like one of the Generals in WW2 being driven around by a soldier in the Willy’s Jeep
