My home town baby! That why we left every year -lol.
Did you know the largest experimental aviation event in the world is the EAA Fly-In at Oshkosh?
EAA - The Spirit of Aviation 2024 happens July 22-28! The event started 71 years ago. The first one was held in September 1953 as a small part of the Milwaukee Air Pageant. The event then moved to Rockford Municipal Airport in 1959. In late 1969, the EAA board approved the move to Oshkosh.
EAA AirVenture Oskhosh attracts 10,000 airplanes each year and more than 650,000 aviation enthusiasts attended the event in 2022. In 2019, people from 93 countries outside the U.S. attended.
