Around The Field
Welcome to the listeners of the Uncontrolled Airspace Podcast.
This website is an archive of the daily columns I've written over the past 10 years for the "show daily" newspaper: AirVenture Today.
I hope you enjoy this view of "Oshkosh".
I'd really love to hear from any of the people I've written about over the years. If you're one of them, or there's someone here you recognize, I'd love to hear from you.
You can email me at feedback@aroundthefield.net
