AirVenture Afternoon Airshow Is Always A Crowd Favorite
EAA has informed ANN that
many of the world's best air show performers are among the early
confirmations for the afternoon air shows what EAA calls "The
World's Greatest Aviation Celebration," or EAA AirVenture, Oshkosh,
to be held this year on July 23-29 at Wittman Regional Airport.
Among the early confirmations are perennial favorites such as
Sean D. Tucker (right), Patty Wagstaff and the AeroShell
Aerobatic Team; national aerobatic champions such as Kirby
Chambliss and Debby Rihn-Harvey; second-generation air show
standouts Kent Pietsch, Matt Younkin and Kyle Franklin; plus new
acts or performers returning to Oshkosh after several years.
Additional air show performers will be announced as they are
confirmed.
"Each of these performers work as a headline act at dozens of
air shows throughout the country, but the come together at EAA
AirVenture to make an all-star roster of the 'best of the best,'"
said Tom Poberezny, EAA president and AirVenture chairman, who flew
as a member of the renowned Eagles Aerobatic Team. "Air show
performers are eager to fly at Oshkosh because it represents a
major achievement in their careers, flying in front of the most
knowledgeable and appreciative audiences on the air show
circuit."
The afternoon air show is an anticipated spectacle each day at
EAA AirVenture, providing an exciting way to round out a full day
on Wittman's flight line. Prior to each day's air show, lucky
attendees will see many featured aircraft flying -- old and new --
showcasing the depth and breath of the aviation community.
Exact daily performance schedules will be finalized in the weeks
prior to EAA AirVenture and will be announced through the event's
extensive website (see below).
"Each afternoon's showcase and air show create a daily
attraction that simply cannot be seen anywhere else but EAA
AirVenture," Poberezny said. "Oshkosh is the place where the
airplanes, people and innovations come together each year in
aviation's family reunion."
Sounds good to us Tom, we'll see you there!
