AirVenture 2025 is approaching fast. With it comes the transformation of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, into the busiest airport in the world. Pilots flying in must be prepared for the unique air traffic procedures. 

In this episode, aviation experts Greg Feith, Todd Curtis, and John Goglia take us behind the scenes of the annual event and discuss the critical safety protocols all pilots must follow.

The team also revisits a powerful case study—the 2010 crash involving NASCAR legend Jack Roush. After a missed approach in his Beechcraft 390 Premier, Roush lost control and crashed. This incident underscores the importance of understanding and adhering to Oshkosh's detailed procedures.

Greg, a seasoned pilot who has flown into Oshkosh numerous times, shares his firsthand experiences and the risks pilots face when they don't follow the guidelines. 

Whether you're planning to fly into AirVenture or simply want to understand how the airspace is managed during the event, this episode offers essential insights. Be sure to check out the 32-page official notice detailing these vital procedures.
