If you are an aviation fan, you know about Oshkosh.

Hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and more known as EAA AirVenture (or even more properly as “The EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In”), “Oshkosh” is the annual gathering in Oshkosh, Wisconsin held at the Wittman Regional Airport.

The show, usually at the end of July, is seven days long. During that event, the control tower at that small airport is the busiest control tower in the world.

This year, 2007, the Air Force decided to fly in the U-2. It was the U-2’s first appearance in 10 years.

The pilot for that fly in was my brother, Lt. Col. Jon “Huggy” Huggins.

    It was great to see your brother… it speaks! ;-)

    Of course, not as good looking as U!
