It could take crews more than a month to clean up the grounds at EAA AriVenture.
The event kicked off last week, with hundreds of thousands of people attending the many air shows and exhibits.
"We've got a couple tractor trailers taking down audio visual equipment staging and parts of the plane,” said Scott Wenman.
He’s packing up the truck and heading back to Ontario, Canada. He was just one of the estimated half a million people who flew into Oshkosh throughout the week, helping to break several records.
"It was a great confluence this year of a lot of things that just worked well,” said EAA AirVenture Director of Communications, Dick Knapinski
He tells NBC 26 there isn't much in the way of debris or trash left over from the festival, with everyone taking care of the grounds. The hard part is taking down the tents.
Dick Knapinski "We look around and see what needs to be fixed up, what needs to be improved, where does grass need to be planted all of those things as you start the whole yearly cycle over again,” Knapinski said.
EAA AirVenture did not have an exact number of people who attended the fest this year, nor did it know the amount of money raised. They do say they're already thinking of next year and are open to advice.
