Come Visit Wisconsin! Welcome To Wisconsin!

A collection of aircraft that can be found together no place else on earth will again headline the features and attractions that make EAA AirVenture Oshkosh "The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration." From the smallest ultralight to enormous cargo aircraft, the Oshkosh flight line is the place to see the entire world of flight. Every year, several new aircraft also make their debut at EAA AirVenture, which is regarded as THE place to see aviation innovation unveiled.

EAA's 57th annual fly-in takes place July 27-August 2nd at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.

"It has been said that if an aircraft has flown, is flying or will fly, it will eventually make it to Oshkosh," said Tom Poberezny, EAA president and AirVenture chairman. "That diversity of aircraft makes EAA AirVenture a place like no other to discover and explore the passion for flight in all of its unique forms. It also allows AirVenture participants to make the event as large or small as they want—they can try to see as much as possible or focus on their own particular favorites."

This year's aircraft lineup is deep and diverse, with some late commitments still being confirmed. It includes new aircraft from both commercial and general aviation, popular military airplanes of today as well as classic warbirds, and magnificently restored vintage airplanes from the early decades of aviation.
