OSHKOSH - Aviation lovers will soon pack up and leave the EAA AirVenture grounds in Oshkosh.
The event wraps up Sunday with Family Day, and the final air show is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Many pilots took to the skies during the 60th annual AirVenture.
FOX 11's Laura Smith had the opportunity to go up with one of them.
Not many people get a chance to ride in the rare Beechcraft Staggerwing.
The biplane is unique in that it's lower wing is positioned further forward than the upper wing.
Fewer than 800 were manufactured in the '30s and '40s.
Aviation experts say fewer than 100 are still flying today.
