"As we continue to plan for a full AirVenture event in 2020, the evening programs at Oshkosh have become known as the place for unforgettable programs involving people from throughout the history of flight," said Rick Larsen, EAA's vice president who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. "Thousands of people enjoy these unique gatherings every evening during AirVenture and this year's lineup will again entertain, educate, and enthrall all who attend."
