Initial AirVenture 2017 Air Show Performers Confirmed, But This Isn’t The End Of The List

Only last week we reported that the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration team had EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 scheduled on their airshow appearance list. We said at that time to stand by for more information but we didn’t expect it this soon.

EAA has now released more information about the performers that will show up at AirVenture 2017. They’ll include some of the world’s top air show performers, including national aerobatic champions, longtime favorites, the United States Navy Blue Angels, and some talented Oshkosh first-timers.

Afternoon air shows are scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. daily, while the Wednesday and Saturday night air shows are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

Here’s a list of the performers who have made commitments to fly during the afternoon and night air show lineups at AirVenture this year, set for July 24-30 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, WI. This is just a partial list, with many more exciting performers yet to be announced in the coming weeks leading up to Oshkosh. Schedules and complete daily air show lineups will be announced as they are finalized.

Here is the lineup as it now stands:

AeroShell Aerobatic Team, Vicky Benzing, Jeff Boerboon (John Klatt Airshows), Bob Carlton, Kirby Chambliss, Matt Chapman, Class of ’45 (Yoak/Tobul), Kevin Coleman, Kyle Franklin, Mike Goulian, Rob Holland, Jerry Kerby, Greg Koontz, Sammy Mason, Paul McCowen, United States Navy Blue Angels, Paradigm Paramotor Aerobatic Team’ Jim Peitz, Redline Air Shows, Gene Soucy & Teresa Stokes, Bill Stein, Skip Stewart, Sean D.

It looks like you are going to see some exciting flying during the AirVenture 2017 airshows.
