Mark The Dates -- July 24-30, 2006, ANN Will Be
There!
Although opening day is
still nearly eight months away, the preparations have already
started for the 54th annual EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, The World's
Greatest Aviation Celebration, coming July 24-30, 2006. The event,
which draws more than 10,000 airplanes from around the world, has
been held at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh since 1970.
The event's newly updated website is now available and contains
the latest updates for the fly-in, which in 2005 drew an unmatched
aircraft lineup that included SpaceShipOne/White Knight and the
Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer. The EAA AirVenture website will
highlight the latest news and aircraft confirmations, essential
information such as admission rates and housing; and other
important information to create an unforgettable visitor experience
in 2006.
"We are already eagerly anticipating welcoming the world of
flight back to Oshkosh in 2006," said Tom Poberezny, EAA president
and AirVenture chairman. "EAA AirVenture is THE place where
innovation and ingenuity are on prominent display; where government
officials meet and hear their constituents; where aviation
personalities tell their stories; and where all of aviation returns
for its annual family reunion."
The schedule of events and confirmed lineup of aircraft will be
announced as those items are finalized.
The EAA AirVenture web site again features easy-to-use menus to
help people plan their participation at the event. Information is
categorized under areas such as "Discover It," "Plan for It,"
"Experience It," and "Follow It." There are also added photo and
video areas for people to enjoy the full range of activities at EAA
AirVenture.
"People should plan to join us at Oshkosh this year, because
there's no better place to experience the world of flight in one
location," Poberezny said.
"Now is the time to begin planning a journey to EAA AirVenture.
We promise you an experience unmatched anywhere else in
aviation."
