I won't be able to get away from the sunny Caribbean for this year's show, but have enjoyed it many times in the past.
In the early '90s, a group of us controllers invited a bunch of Russian controllers to visit Oshkosh with us. It was in the early "glasnost" days, and about 25 of them, along with a "journalist" (can you say, "KGB"?), were able to attend. We picked them up at ORD - had to "sign" for them, actually - and spent a week at the airshow and then around the Chicago area visiting ATC facilities and controllers' families. It was great fun!
One of the ATC visitors, a fellow in his 60s, nearly wept in Oshkosh at the sight of a fully restored MIG-15. Seems he'd flown them in Korea in the early '50s...
