| July 28 thru August 3, Oshkosh, WI EAA AIRVENTURE
GOTTA GET TO OSHKOSH! EAA AIRVENTURE COMING JULY 28-AUG. 3,
The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration brings together entire flight community.
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. - (Nov. 13, 2007) - There is just
one event that embodies all the spirit, enthusiasm and innovation within
aviation. Preparations for that event, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh - The World's
Greatest Aviation Celebration - are under way once again as EAA's 56th
annual fly-in convention will be held at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh
on July 28-August 3, .
Each year, more than 10,000 airplanes migrate to the Oshkosh area to
participate in the event. Whether these aviation enthusiasts fly their own
airplanes and camp along the flight line, or pitch a tent in the adjacent
Camp Scholler, or find their own accommodations in area hotels, dormitories
or private housing, they come to AirVenture to share the pure joy and
excitement of flight unmatched anywhere in the world.
"At EAA AirVenture, we often see and hear about the big events, such
as the one-of-a-kind aircraft or the new innovations in flying," said Tom
Poberezny, EAA president and AirVenture chairman. "But more important, in
one week this is where the whole, true spirit of aviation comes together to
celebrate the world of flight. That means the heritage, the pride and the
vision of aviation. Each person who attends has an individual flying story.
Oshkosh is the one place where all those stories come together to create a
celebration that is unmatched anywhere around the world."
In 2007, EAA AirVenture included more than 2,600 showplanes, 780
exhibitors, and nearly 1,000 forums and seminars. It also featured the
introduction of dozens of new aviation products, including several new
aircraft. Oshkosh is also a one-of-a-kind locale for government aviation
officials to meet and hear their constituents, whose input at Oshkosh helps
shape national aviation policy.
Just like EAA AirVenture, the event's website, Airventure will continue to grow as the excitement for the
fly-in builds. Over the next nine months, look for added features to the already
extensive video and audio presentations and interactive sections. The website
also includes essential updates such as admission rates, housing, forum presenters,
special attractions, and more that will help make AirVenture an unforgettable
visitor experience.
"EAA AirVenture is one of aviation's most important events for
business, government and education," Poberezny said. "What makes this event
unique, however, is the fact that it is also aviation's annual family
reunion. If you're asked to explain what EAA AirVenture is, there's only
one good answer - 'You've gotta be there!'"
The schedule of events and confirmed lineup of aircraft will be
announced as those items are finalized. EAA members enjoy the lowest
AirVenture admission rates for themselves, their families and their guests,
as well as access to camping in aircraft areas and in Camp Scholler adjacent
to the flight line.
EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH is The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration
and EAA's yearly convention that embodies the membership's spirit of
aviation. For more information on EAA and its programs, call 1-800-JOIN-EAA
