AirVenture 2026: Planes, Trains, and a Prop Strike (WINGS Credit)
CFI Philip Mandel set out for Oshkosh in 2025 in his Thorp T-18, but a midjourney prop strike, just two days before AirVenture, turned the trip into an unexpected adventure involving mechanical challenges, creative logistics, and a healthy dose of determination. He made it to AirVenture, but how? This engaging story highlights real-world decision-making, resourcefulness, and aircraft recovery.
