Seaplane base is really cool. Even though it was about 3/4 empty when we were, there were still planes coming & going all the time. Even go to see (& hear) the orange beaver and the piaggio start up & take off.
Also saw a 195 on floats, which I have to assume is pretty rare.

Most not have just landed...the parachute is not deployed.

From the EAA site:
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021: Facts and Figures for an Outstanding Year
Attendance: Approximately 608,000 – Only the third time attendance has surpassed 600,000 and within 5 percent of 2019’s record total. Comment from Pelton:
“We went into this year not knowing what AirVenture would look like and how big of an event was possible. The aviation community spoke loudly, though – it was ready to come to Oshkosh and we were happy that we could welcome them. Our theme was ‘The Wait is Over,’ and indeed it was. And the wait was worth it. There was joy and excitement throughout the grounds and it set the stage for the return of AirVenture, making us very excited for the future.”
Total aircraft: More than 10,000 aircraft arrived at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh and other airports in east-central Wisconsin. At Wittman alone, there were 16,378 aircraft operations in the 10-day period from July 22-31, which is an average of approximately 116 takeoffs/landings per hour when the airport is open.

I think that 6PC was a Tampico and was a former parks college trainer. Hence the PC
