Early Oshkosh Arrivals - Saturday Part 2 - EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023

Various aircraft arrive to land on Saturday during the opening weekend of the 2023 EAA AirVenture airshow in Oshkosh, WI. Watch for the Mass Bonanza Arrival!
Also watch Part 1! - • Early Oshkosh Arrivals...
The Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture is a massive fly-in, convention and airshow held at Wittman Regional Airport each July. The event sees more than 10,000 aircraft of all types - general aviation, home-built, vintage, warbird, ultralights, and modern military - and hundreds of thousands of spectators over the course of a week.
During the event, the airport claims the title of the world's busiest airport with famously busy arrivals and departures. It is standard procedure to have multiple aircraft taking off or landing on the same runway at the same time! Our arrival and departure videos try to capture a fraction of the daily action, including radio communications between air traffic controllers and pilots.

Wow....Cant believe there are that many of those old v-tail doctor killers still flying....love it!!!

[@2Phast4Rocket]

It's not because they didn't try to kill these V-tails. These killer doctors now fly Cirrus

[@richard1472]

Airplanes don't kill doctors. Doctors kill doctors. Don't be that guy.

[@danmcbride6258]

Very impressed by the tight formation landings. Great GA Pilots!

[@maryeckel9682]

My family went to a Bonanza breakfast fly-in in Rockford IL back in the 80s. Those folks love to show off their skills.

[@Fenixx117]

The Bonanza mass arrival is very impressive!

[@skyhawk_4526]

I know it's Oshkosh and all, but that's the biggest assemblage of Bonanzas I've ever seen!

[@andrewq1876]

TIL that assemblage is a word. Thank you

[@EatMyPropwash]

Bonanzas ALWAYS represent Oshkosh so freakin’ well. When the wife and I get ours we’ll do the same.

[@robertdavis6708]

Do they make any other plane than the Bonanza ? WOW ! Paradise.

[@Daraytube]

That flight of 109 Beechcrafts reminds me of bombers returning to base. Wild.

[@EveryoneIsFightingSomeBattle]

That shot at 8:44 showing all those Bonanzas coming in is amazing!

[@heefie8659]

I instantly screenshot that when I saw it. In this day of age you would think it's a fake clickbait thumbnail. Unbelievable capture

[@tomjoseph1444]

And the whole world is watching your landing. No pressure there.

[@Airpaycheck]

Beautiful Bunch of Bonanzas Brother!

[@n70199]

Best aviation content on KZbin. I look forward to each video.

[@bstephens600]

You're the best with Oshkosh coverage. Keep them coming!

[@austinado16]

Fantastic footage. Seeing the formation landings, and the stacks of those groups all on final, is amazing. Loved the shots of the Cessna 195. There used to be one on static display in the California Adventure side of Disneyland, in SoCal. Killed me to see it just sitting there cooking in the harsh elements. It's gone now, and I hope it was taken and restored.

[@ukrainiipyat]

The example in this video is absolutely beautiful aircraft.

[@f40fanatic]

That bonanza was nice

[@maryeckel9682]

Which one? 😂

[@timflynn2136]

Bonanza mania! Cool!

[@baskolthof]

8:43 That's sick!! Never have seen so many planes on final approach at once!

[@chadbobby]

I love seeing that this many people are still or getting into GA!! I was born in Oshkosh and LOVE watching this coverage, I need to get back there soon! How many Bonanza's was that???

[@JimHausch]

112 or 117, I forget. Great flight this year. #33 for B2OSH, only my 4th or 5th so far.

[@kushagramittal4275]

Those Baron Pilots flew the formation very well

[@richardkschmidt7436]

Thanks! I’ll pass that on. Baron Flight Lead.

[@jamesharrison6201]

That 195 stole my heart 50 years ago. I was a Cessna kid until Dad retired and went to Windecker for a few years til they closed. Was there for the Air Force experimental years. Started the Pentagon working on stealth

[@staceylpittman532]

Attack of the Bonanzas. Very cool.

[@Bernard32]

All of those Bonanzas should tie down on the Ponderosa!!!

[@undeadbrosm41a39]

Nice

[@jakebumbstead]

And music by David Rose playing

[@Aderin.]

I see the planes on flight radar. There was a boeing dreamlifter there

[@genekrafft948]

Where did they all come from?

[@ericvadekro8334]

My thoughts exactly 😎

[@scottsmith7051]

First the Bonanzas then the Barons. Beechcraft in the house, and sure enough, here comes the Beech BE18. Love it.

[@jimw1615]

That is absolutely beautiful!!! It brings tears of joy to my eyes. I began flying lessons in 1965 but have never been to AirVenture in Oshkosh. I can see why a great number of aviation buffs go just from this arrivals video. Thank you.

[@Mrsournotes]

Excellent video! Thanks so much for posting.👍🏽

[@2Phast4Rocket]

Great mass arrival coverage!

[@avoidingtrees6692]

The bonanzas and barons landings were impressive 👏

[@Durandalski]

That Cessna at the beginning was gorgeous!

[@LuvFlyin]

Thank you.

[@PasleyAviationPhotography]

The kid talking about a P-47, we need more of that!

[@CessBee123]

Agreed. Luckily, there's more of them around than you might think

[@Screamindynos]

Quite the crowd at LSE to witness the mass departure of the Bonanzas Saturday morning. Won’t make it to Oshkosh this year, thanks for the always great footage!

[@johnshank5136]

This one really did IT for me

[@mischef18]

Some good landings in there, cheers for posting. Safe travels. Ken.

I am to old to fly anymore but i was in the middle of all that madness for many years. Shure miss it all....

[@rodcoulter997]

Been flying since 1975, but never been to AirVenture….this is amazing. Great post+++++

Same here and never will for fear of mayhem and crowds. Watching these great vids of the action is fine for me.

[@randemness2680]

I hope one day you are able to make it. I have never met one person disappointed that they came to oshkosh for airventure

Aren't they awesome!

[@superskullmaster]

This is at the top of my bucket list.

[@koosvanzyl2605]

One thing you can possibly do is put the names of tje planes taking off and landing on the screen. I know you Americans know them all, but here in South Africa we do not have that priveledge. Only a suggestion.Still enjoy your programs. Thanks.

[@BentQuarter]

We def don’t know them all

[@superskullmaster]

If I have time later today I might be able to add them. But if you need to know RN just look up the tail numbers on Google.

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

We get this request a lot and we would love to do that but even we do not know all of the aircraft! More than that it simply would take way too much time to edit that. Thanks for watching though!

[@skyhawk_4526]

Cessna 195 About 8 million Beechcraft Bonanzas A dozen or so Beechcraft Barons Beech 18D Pilatus Porter T-6 Texan Cessna 208 Grand Caravan Canadair CT-133? L-39 Albatross That's some, and I lost count, and might be out of order on some.

[@natesteiner5460]

The sky full of Bonanzas staggered out on final reminds me of standing on the Air Guard ramp at KMEM about 0600 watching all the Fed-Ex birds coming in for the morning sort

[@cg_justin_5327]

"How many Bonanzas will be there?" Yes

[@stevenk6638]

Your videos are the BEST !

[@billbrisson]

that's a lot of Bonanza's!

[@richardkschmidt7436]

It was a great ride! Bonanzas to Oshkosh #33; 95 Bonanzas, 17 Barons.

[@NerveLindsay4187]

Awesome footage - Nice job 👍

[@LuvFlyin]

"The thrill that'll gitcha when you get your picture on the cover of an AirshowStuff video" I'm always psyched when you capture my arrivals and departures. This time, I MADE THE THUMBNAIL. You would not believe how many people texted me Sunday morning with a link to this vid.

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

That's awesome!! We are just as excited when folks find themselves in our videos!

[@ThinkUkraine]

So cool!❤❤❤

[@stricklandgarageaviation2864]

Thanks

[@AndreiTupolev]

All those private pilots couldn't have practiced mass formation landings, so it seemed to come off very successfully. Did they all meet up somewhere and then fly in all together, or did they all arrive separately from all points of the compass and time their arrival so that they all arrived together? Either is some impressive organisation.

[@richardkschmidt7436]

We actually do practice formation takeoffs, enroute, maneuvers and landings at a dozen weekend clinics during the year. Attendance and competency is required for the OSH flight. We assemble at La Crosse, Wisconsin on Friday and all depart in formation on Saturday morning. It’s about a one hour flight. Thanks, Bonanzas to Oshkosh, Baron Flight Lead.

[@maryeckel9682]

Yes! The close sequential formation landings - they were all on a VLR mission over North Korea escorting Doc and Fifi dropping leaflets!

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Welcome to the hottest part of a Wisconsin summer, every yr guaranteed

[@garykendall1376]

I think every Model 35 Bonanza, F33, and A36 in the country arrived at the same time.

[@JDSleeper]

First Mooneyfest now the Bonanza Bonanza.

[@ianevans2854]

I've never seen so many Bonanzas before, 😮

[@djbowler3333]

Holy cow!

[@russwayne2132]

This is good but there's a way to make it better, at least easier to watch. Zoom out (called mooz) before panning the camera. It disturbs the eye to see rapid movement with a tight lens. Give the viewer a wider area to watch before beginning a pan. That way they won't get sick watching your stuff.

[@spacewalk001]

HOLY BONANZAS, BATMAN!

Catch the pilot landing on 36 after they'd already switched to runway 18 after the storm?

I think this is the largest formation of single type aircraft since WWII! 😂 Its a legion of Bonanzas! The Beechcraft Mafia. 😂😂😂

[@hhout9242]

Most Beech products at one time I've ever seen! I'm curious how you guys managed to do this? Where was the rendezvous? Would you allow one with with a T-Bone participate?

It's like a multiplayer server with crash damage enabled.

Controller: (deep sigh) Air Force One number .... Let's see.... AF1 number 14 go ahead.

[@chelofonte]

How is it that all the Bonanzas pilots meet to arrive together?

[@richardkschmidt7436]

We meet at La Crosse, Wisconsin, on Friday. Formation departure is Saturday morning after the preflight briefing. It’s about a 60 minute ride to OSH.

[@nthom1956]

The invasion of the Bonanzas! Think every model and variant of the type was represented there.

[@1320fastback]

Holy Bonanzas Batman!

[@West-TexX]

Absolutely a bonanza of…….well……Bonanzas…..

[@digitalranger4259]

Felt sorry for a while for anyone not flying a Beechcraft! Anyone get a count on how many were in the flight?

[@ThirtyYearstoolate]

A different world.

[@ANDIMILLS1]

Landing 3 at a time now, did that start this year? I would absolutely LOVE to come along one year but living in the UK makes it a bit difficult.

[@JimHausch]

That is only for the mass arrivals. If you do the regular "FISK" arrival, unless you are in a briefed formation flight with a friend, you land individually There is B2OSH (Bonanzas and Barons), C2A (Cirrus), Mooney Caravan. Cherokees to Oshkosh, and C2O (Cessnas)

[@AwesomeFullHDvideos]

will you be livestreaming from oshkosh ? if so when ? thx

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

No livestreams allowed, sorry

[@scottreopelle7791]

I'm not a pilot but would love to be.. Are there not problems with wing-tip vortices landing that close together or is that only on takeoff??

[@danwein]

0:54 do you think he smelled his hand afterward?

[@jeremyimes6734]

I am wondering how these planes are able to land on the same runway at the same time? Are spacing requirements suspended for this event? Also, are planes landing on the taxiway? I Google mapped the airport and I didn’t see parallel runways. Just curious. Edit: it seems that the main runway is being divided by the centerline and the parallel taxiway is converted to a runway. Is this correct?

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

There are special rules during the event. The taxiway is converted to a runway (36R) and the main runway is large enough that aircraft can land in formation. Each runway has dots painted on it to help ATC land direct multiple aircraft to land in very close succession, but the mass arrivals are even further specially coordinated to bring in flights of 3 aircraft every 15 seconds. Only formation flights land side by side on the main runway, not normal traffic

[@jonnylong710]

Yes Both used Go online and listen to tower controller Whitman airport

[@spikespa5208]

Guessing turbulence isn't a major factor at 15 second intervals for aircraft this small? No larger planes landing at the same time? 8:44 , amazing shot.
