One of the longest running airplane giveaways in the world, the
EAA Sweepstakes annually supports EAA’s aviation education
programs. In a change from past years, entry forms will be
available beginning this week through EAA AirVenture 2012 fly-in at
Oshkosh, Wis., on July 23-29. All prizes will be awarded to winners
in random drawings at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh at 5
p.m. on Sept. 10, 2012.
The Piper Cub grand prize in 2012 coincides with
AirVenture’s commemoration of the Cub’s 75th
anniversary. The Sweepstakes Cub is a specially selected model that
is restored and maintained to EAA’s high standards that will
make an unmatched piece of flying history and fun for the winner.
In addition, the grand prize package includes skis for winter
flying, plus Sport Pilot certificate and/or tailwheel endorsement
training if desired.
“This is your opportunity to win one of the great, icon
airplanes in aviation history that is perfect for fun
flying,” said Elissa Lines, EAA’s vice president of
business and donor relations. “At the same time, you’ll
be joining the rest of the aviation community in supporting
EAA’s activities and programs that are helping to create the
next generation of aviators.”
“Win The Cub” Sweepstakes entries are available at
the EAA exhibit during the annual NBAA Convention in Las Vegas.
Entry forms will also be mailed with the November issue of Sport
Aviation magazine and will be available online.
