The skies over Oshkosh will be buzzing Tuesday, that's because Tuesday marks the start of the 50th Annual Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture.

The weeklong fly-in and convention draws over 12,000 planes and 750,000 visitors to Oshkosh.

The event features daily airshows, vintage aircraft and speeches from famous aviators like Chuck Yeager.

New this year will be the hot air balloon capsule of millionaire Steve Fossett, the first man to fly a balloon around the world non-stop.
