Visitors to the NASA pavilion are finding plenty to do during this first full day of the airshow. Activities inside include collecting informational handouts, trying out a flight simulator, and chatting with NASA researchers and engineers.

A popular attraction today is the opportunity to meet the two NASA test pilots who will be flying the X-59 quiet supersonic technology demonstrator. Jim “Clue” Less (left) and Nils Larson are seen below meeting Oshkosh attendees and signing autographs.
