Think Again!
The world's biggest aviation
celebration, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, will begin one day earlier
next year under a schedule shift that takes effect with the 2005
event.
Beginning in 2005, EAA AirVenture will operate on a
Monday-through-Sunday format, instead of the Tuesday-through-Monday
schedule of the past several years. That means EAA AirVenture 2005
will begin on Monday, July 25 and conclude on Sunday, July 31.
"This year we surveyed a cross-section of EAA members,
exhibitors, sponsors and other participants," said Tom Poberezny,
EAA president and AirVenture chairman. "We found that the travel
patterns of those who attend EAA AirVenture have changed in recent
years. We want to make sure we have activities and services for
those who arrive at any time during the event. We also knew that
scheduling the final day on Monday had not worked as well as hoped
for attendees or exhibitors, so we wanted to improve that
situation."
Attendee surveys confirmed that a large number of EAA members,
particularly aircraft and motor vehicle campers, arrived before the
start of the event. Under the new schedule, more activities and
facilities will be open to them as they first arrive. In addition,
special activities can be planned for the final two days of the
event, as they fall on a weekend.
"We know that the EAA AirVenture experience is an outstanding
one, regardless of which days an aviation enthusiast attends the
event," Poberezny said. "We plan to continue enhancing the site and
available activities to meet the needs and wishes of EAA members,
their families and the thousands of other aviation enthusiasts who
know EAA AirVenture as the world's greatest aviation
celebration."
