Warbirds, Aerobatics, and Racers to Put on 9 Air Shows Throughout the Week
This year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 keeps getting better, as evidenced by their expansive air show lineup.
Throughout the week, performers will give attendees a series of afternoon and night shows, bringing everything from classic standbys and aerobatic champions to classic warbirds and modern fighters. In all, that makes for 9 air shows spread throughout 7 days - respectable bang for the buck. AirVenture will be held from July 24-30 at Wittman Regional Airport.
“This is already an outstanding all-star air show lineup for the 70th EAA fly-in convention and we’re just getting started,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs. “There are returning performers, new air show acts, and particular aircraft connected with specific events and anniversaries. We’ll be adding more exciting acts and performances in the coming weeks that will again make the nine air shows during AirVenture week unforgettable."
The EAA has been hard at work refining the event, adding a bevy of improvements to small quality of life issues that should make the event even more laid back and enjoyable. Additional food stands, grocery delivery, and even more entertainment than ever before should make this year set the bar for all events going forward.
