EAA Air Venture 2009

The Experimental Aircraft Association's Fly-In Convention, now known as EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, has been in existence nearly as long as the association itself. As you arrive, the number of people, size of the site and the rows and rows of magnificent aircraft are simply overwhelming. If you were to walk past ... not down ... each row of airplanes, you would cover 5.2 miles! Typically about 2,500 show aircraft participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, including homebuilts, antiques, classics, warbirds, ultralights and rotorcraft.

Be sure you get a map, because even if you have been here before, the new site improvements in 2009 bring a new look to one of the world's great aviation events. The first thing to look at is airplanes on the flight line. As an EAA member, you can inspect firsthand the craftsmanship and design advancements that come from the hands and minds of EAA members. If you are interested in a particular airplane chances are you will find it in Oshkosh. As you walk along the flight line you will see many of the newsmakers and personalities who make the world of aviation so exciting. Unique aircraft, from early air racers to historical airplanes, participate, along with the world's finest air show performers - all of whom are headliners on their own but at Oshkosh, are part of an all-star lineup in a daily three-hour spectacular.
