My journey began in July of 2013 at the world’s largest Airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Airventure. Over 10,000 aircraft and over 500,000 people attend this event yearly.

with the money he made from additional oil sales. Iraq also owed a large sum of money to Kuwait for expenses in the Iran/Iraq war. Taking over Kuwait would cancel this debt. Hussein also clamed that he had fought the Iranians for the benefit of all Arab nations, and that Kuwait owed him for that.
