Poor Madison.  :)

For many years my pilot friends and I did volunteer work at the EAA fly-in convention in Oshkosk, Wisconsin. On the last day of the fly-in everone gather at Steve Wittman's place just off the edge of the airport for a party hosted by Steve. Every time I drive or fly in into Oshkosh I'm reminded of all the great times there. Steve's hangar, emblazened with "Cloud 9" was still there a couple years ago.

Hi Gordy.  What an interesting life he had.

For aviation buffs, the largest privately owned aircraft museum is in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Wittman Airport is close by, named in honor of the late Steve Wittman, an aviation racing pioneer.

One of his designs, the “Wittman Tailwind” resides in the museum, along with lots of memorable items. Including Steve’s pilot license; endorsed by Orville Wright!

I met Steve several times. On one occasion he was showing off details of his latest design, an enlarged version of the Tailwind, sporting a 230 hp converted Oldsmobile automotive engine. He named the plane the “O to O Special.” He also owned a home in Ocala, Florida and used it to commute between Oshkosh and Ocala.

Tragically, Steve and his wife perished in that airplane during a return flight from Ocala, due to an in-flight structural failure.

This is useful information! Thank you kindly!
