In this special AirVenture episode, we sit down with Gayle, the proud owner of a stunning Beechcraft Staggerwing with a remarkable family story. This beautiful vintage aircraft has been passed down through generations, and Gayle and her family have been bringing it to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for more than 50 years.
Gayle shares what it’s like to fly such an iconic classic, gives us a glimpse into the history of their Staggerwing, and reflects on what it means to keep a family tradition alive at the world’s greatest aviation celebration.
Whether you’re a vintage aircraft enthusiast, a fan of AirVenture, or just love hearing the passion behind aviation stories, this episode is packed with history, heart, and a whole lot of Oshkosh magic.
