EAA Air Venture 2002
As mentioned the mueseum is first rate, a good side trip is a visit to the Sea Plane Base. If you're looking for an excuse to visit the states there is no better reason than the EAA Air Venture at Oshkosh Wisconsin. There is no where in the world that you will encounter so many different types of airplanes and number of airplanes in one place at the same time, it is truely awesome.
If you make the trip stop by and say hello to the controllers (the men and women wearing bright PINK shirts).
