Oshkosh 2014 Highlights

An astonishing seven Lockheed Electra 12A Juniors gathered at Oshkosh—the most at any one time since they were rolled out of the factory in the 1930s. Only 20 are left on the FAA register. A larger version, the 10E Electra, was flown by Amelia Earhart on her ill-fated around-the-world venture. Credit: Mo Spuhler

The giant Gee Bee Q.E.D replica and other airshow performers sit out the dramatic and extensive pyrotechnics set off by the Tinstix of Dynamite aerobatic act that features U.S. national aerobatic team member Melissa Pemberton. Credit: Mo Spuhler

Chuck Aaron in the Red Bull Airbus Bo.105 helicopter performs near-impossible feats that no other rotorcraft can match, thanks to a specially-modified titanium rotorhead, a rigid rotor and other changes to the transmission. Credit: Mo Spuhler

Unveiled at Oshkosh was a new concept of recreational vehicle – a flying fishing boat/water toy. The cockpit lifts up completely to reveal a fishing chair, while girlfriend lollops in a hammock at the back. The MVP (Most Versatile Planes) Light Sport Aircraft will be offered first as a kit. MVP.Aero’s head office is in Minneapolis, with design engineering in Duluth. Credit: Mo Spuhler

Kyle Franklin specializes in dramatic low level and old-fashioned aerobatics in his custom-built scale-Waco ‘Dracula,’ looking like the epitome of 1930s sport aviation. Credit: Mo Spuhler

Homebuilt RVs love flying in formation! Last October they set a world record for a civilian formation when 49 flew together over Kansas City. Credit: Mo Spuhler

The Nakajima Zero emits smoke after being chased by an F-4U Corsair. This original airframe, one of only three flying in the U.S., is now powered by a Pratt & Whitney engine. Credit: Mo Spuhler

You never know when! Cirrus aircraft are all equipped with ballistic safety parachutes. Credit: John Croft
