You won't believe what this pilot is doing

So here's the deal, you know how we've got that EAA AirVenture show down in Oshkosh every summer? It's a pretty big deal, draws folks from all over, which is wild. But there's a Wisconsin veteran, Mike Weinfurter, and he's not just going to the show; he's *part* of the show, honoring our military with his really rare "Bird Dog" plane. It's one of those things that just makes you feel good about our corner of the world, you know?

<h3>Flying High for History</h3>

Yeah, so Weinfurter owns this historic "Bird Dog" plane, and he's using it at the EAA airshow to keep the history of these warbirds alive and honor his fellow veterans. It’s more than just a cool plane; it’s a flying piece of history, showing folks what these aircraft meant during wartime. It's a real testament to the kind of community spirit we have here – people going the extra mile to remember and respect our past. It's pretty special to see someone so dedicated, and you betcha, it makes us proud.

* **What it is:** A Wisconsin veteran flying a historic "Bird Dog" plane at the EAA AirVenture show.

* **Why it matters:** It's about honoring military history and veterans, keeping those stories alive for new generations.

* **The Local Angle:** This kind of dedication and pride in service is just part of the fabric of our state, from the folks at the National Railroad Museum to the veterans who gather at the Kroll's West for a butter burger. It's all connected.

It's a reminder of the kind of folks we have living right here in Green Bay and across Wisconsin – people who care deeply about history, about community, and about remembering those who served. It's not just a flyover; it's a living history lesson, and it’s happening right in our backyard.

Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
