BUSY Oshkosh Military Arrivals - EAA AirVenture 2026

Clear. Nice job all the way there. Bonanza, Bonanza. Okay, do this. Keep going out that way. Keep going out that way. Zero-Eight X-Ray, you're going out that direction. I'm going to turn you to the right here shortly. Okay, stand by. Turn right now. Turn right. Enter the base from the right side. Now, there you go. Good job. There's a mechanism to your left. We'll be a factor for you. Turn right now, Bonanza, please. Zero-Eight X-Ray, do you respond? X-Ray, X-Ray, you're not responding. Are you still there? We're in there. We're waiting for you. Yes, sir. We reached out to you about five times. Turn right now. Turn right now. Join the right base. Right base? Right in that right base, I think. There we go. Keep that right hand turn coming there. Zero-Eight X-Ray, six right. Zero-Eight X-Ray, right. Zero-Eight X-Ray. Zero-Eight X-Ray, keep routing just a little bit there. Bonanza, keep it down to runway. ...all over the AirVenture grounds, the EAA Warehouse, the EAA Corporate, and the EAA Aviation Museum, just to name a few. ...at EAA.org. EAA Reno wants to hear from you! ...AirVenture from the air. I know that it's going to be a tough place together. Being there for me was really a big surprise. At this point, I didn't see it. So, I don't know. Let's talk a little bit about the Aeroclub in France. Yes. Because I was doing a little research, and it actually was founded five years before the Wright Brothers' first flight. So, it dates... Yes. ...I guess. I don't know what you're doing together. But, uh, I don't know... Thank you. Thank you. And your sister, Gabriela. Gabriela. ...I guess. I don't know how it goes. And so, you have this backtracking that you can use... ...and then, also, from other people, it's giving them... Seriously... Let me make a comment about you. So, Wontrip was the president of Pan America. And he listened to Churchill at FDR. He came to the colonies in West Africa, reassembled them, and flied them to Cairo for taking over. One of the biggest questions I get in the Q&A section is... Yeah, they had very uniform... They wore khaki shorts, and they looked almost like the military. One of the big stories that... As most Americans would operate, they needed a very austere location. They would have soldiers there, but there were four people inside. The guys would release the lion, and the lion would launch after the guy, and they'd look at it. And as the lion would do, they would take their paws, and knock their feet off one another, and then jump on them and lick them. And they said... And you said you had them in a jet site? Yellow T-34, follow the mission. NA-10, you'll be all the way to the end. It's been coordinated, so just go all the way to the end. The flaggers will be at the end of the runway for you guys. Mission, jet site position. Oh, it's that great weather. You guys pushed all the smoke out. That's all good, you can do it. Thanks. Yellow T-34, middle end. Beginning runway 36R. Red star high-speed taxi to the end. Green trainer, hold over Fond du Lac. Big Ford, proceed to a right base, runway 36R. Okay, right base, runway 36R, go ahead. Big Ford, you're going to be following a twin-beach inbound. Okay, here we go. Master, runway 36R, land. We're actually just further down right now than we were yesterday. Thank you so much for the help. Just continue that tech. Down to the end of the runway, you did an awesome job. Welcome to the show. Twin-beach, great job. Turn left into the grass once you get in our control. Okay, master, affirmative. Runway 36R, right, red square, clear to land. Good vision, jet. I need you to go ahead and turn back out for me. There's fighters back in. Go back to the island home. First of all, we have a loss, in fact. If you've lost something, you might be surprised that it will, in fact, show up lost and found. It's just outside of Exhibit A on the northeast. People visit, and there shouldn't be any trash on the ground. If you see trash, pick it up, put it in the proper place. It doesn't matter how it got there. We all pitch in. Let's just see right now. And that made such a huge impact. You know, we do a lot of agencies, primarily the FAA, this week. And there's things that, you know, you can pitch to the FAA, but if you're sitting in an office and you're outside, you get them out here to do the conditions for the most part. You know, because they realize, like, we do it right. A lot of us were there flying for the airlines. Still a divided city. The wall was still up. And we meet a lot of citizens from West Berlin, and many of them recollected that as kids, we kept them and their parents and their relatives alive. Berlin temperatures are very extremely cold. They're on about the same latitude as Montreal, Canada. So we brought in a tremendous amount of food. We also brought in coal. Brought in bulldozers to help reconstruct their town and to get systems back operating again. The DC-4s would come in in a sky train at a very specific, targeted speed, make their way in. We vectored in in bad weather as the aircraft jacked up.
