EAA AirVenture Set To Open Oshkosh Gates
The annual EAA AirVenture extravaganza promises excitement and innovation for visitors from all over the world.

The annual Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) AirVenture show officially opens tomorrow in Oshkosh, Wis., but aviation enthusiasts have been streaming in to Oshkosh Wittman Regional Airport for the past few weeks. This year’s show features plenty of excitement, including the Air Force Thunderbirds’ first Oshkosh appearance, NASA’s high-altitude WB-57, arrival of the first production HondaJet, Sonex’s SubSonex personal jet, Nextant’s G90XT cockpit mockup, the Cessna Citation CJ3+, celebration of the 50th anniversary of the King Air, the Valdez STOL demonstration of incredible short-field airplanes and tomorrow’s opening-night concert with Kenny Loggins and Blue Sky Riders.

This year the famous central arena is named Boeing Plaza, and the company is displaying its EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft demonstration trailer, which includes simulators that visitors can experience.
