More Performers To Be Added In Coming Weeks To Initial All-Star Roster
Man... we need to get our buns to Oshkosh... and some of the world's best airshow performers seem intent on making it worth our while.
EAA tells us that some of the world's best airshow peeps have made commitments to fly at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021 as part of the afternoon and night air show lineups.
Those performers include aerobatic champions and longtime Oshkosh favorites for the 68th Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention, scheduled for July 26-August 1 at Wittman Regional Airport.
The event features nine air shows over seven days, including night airshows on July 28 and 31.
"This is already an outstanding all-star air show lineup and we're just getting started," said Rick Larsen, EAA's vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions.
"There is a particularly high energy among the air show community to get back to Oshkosh in 2021, whether it's returning performers, new air show acts, or particular aircraft connected with specific events and anniversaries."
