In the evenings, Ken Johnson often climbed up a tree and stared off into the horizon. The teenager had dreams of piloting a plane, but it would be a half-dozen years before his maiden flight. That was the mid-1970s.

The EAA Museum in Oshkosh breaks ground on a major expansion.
The Project 21 addition will include a Youth Education Center and a Pilot Proficiency Center.
Chairman Jack Pelton says this grew from a simple idea.
“While the EAA Aviation Museum highlights more than a century of accomplishments in personal flight, a major part of EAA’s mission to grow participation in aviation is to offer high-level programming for current and future pilots,” said Pelton. “Project 21 brings that vision to reality, and further strengthens Oshkosh as the home for those who pursue their dreams of flight.”
EAA hopes the new facilities will make Oshkosh the premier aviation education and training destination in the US.
