286.400 ,255.700, 266.275 ,326.525, 229.1250, 326.450 all heard from central wi portage co

did anyone catch any cap/refueling or anything related to AF1 in oshkosh

does Truax, Fort Mccoy, or Camp Douglas have open houses anymore? Or are they closed like Hardwood?

Next year I want to try EAA and goto a Airshow or two. My dads uncle was a ACE and was part of the checkertail clan. Lot of books writtin about him and others that worked with him.
