Spectacles Abound for Summertime Airshow
The Experimental Aviation Association has published this year's Airshow roster for AirVenture 2024, showing off the planes and performers of both the afternoon and nightly spectacles.
The 71st iteration of the EAA's flagship fly-in will run from July 22nd to the 28th at Wittman Regional Airport, as usual, and will feature a total of 9 air shows throughout the 7-day span. Nightly shows cap off the 24th and 27th, adding additional ticket value.
“Whether it’s during the afternoon or night air shows at Oshkosh, the performers who fly here are headliners who are among the best in the world,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “The air show community knows that the AirVenture crowds are the most knowledgeable anywhere, and appreciate the skill and precision necessary to fly these aircraft to the edge. That brings out the best in these pilots and creates unforgettable memories every year at Oshkosh.”
The schedule as it stands today:
- Vicky Benzing (P-51)
- Bob Carlton (Jetfox twin-engine sailplane)
- Class of ’45 (Corsair/P-51)
- Susan Dacy (Stearman)
- Kyle Fowler (Long-EZ)
- Kyle Franklin (Super Cub)
- Michael Goulian (Extra)
- RJ Gritter (Decathlon)

The EAA stresses that this roster is a preliminary, and non-final release - more performers will be signing on soon enough. Some Oshkosh-exclusives and long time faves will probably make an appearance for AirVenture 71.
