For Campers And Others Who Like To Stay Late At AirVenture, There’ll Be Lots To See
This year at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016 EAA is packing even more fun into the week’s schedule with additional evening flying events. While long-time attendees are familiar with the Wednesday and Saturday night air shows, this year AirVenture-goers will be able to enjoy evening demonstrations throughout the week by both World War I and Valdez STOL aircraft.
Electric R/C and control line flying has been a part of kit venture for some time now, but the RC flying will now continue into the evenings. If you are not familiar with what modern RC flying is all about, you don’t want to pass this up. Warning: you could get hooked on RC flying!
Monday and Thursday evening military biplanes and triplanes will take to the skies over Oshkosh as part of the World War I aviation centennial celebration. Aircraft from the collections of Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome of Rhinebeck, New York, and Golden Age Air Museum in Bethel, Pennsylvania, are scheduled to participate. The technology used in these early airplanes is amazing when you consider it came only 15 years after the Wright Brothers’ first flight.
On Tuesday and Friday evening at the ultralight strip, attendees can get a taste of the popular Valdez STOL competition held every year in Alaska at the Valdez STOL Invitational competition right here in Oshkosh. Located on the south end of the airport adjacent to the 'Red Barn,' this is the perfect place to relax after a long day and be amazed at what these pilots can do.
A condensed list of the evening flying schedule is as follows:
- Monday—World War I demonstration
- Tuesday—Valdez STOL competition
- Wednesday—Night Air Show and fireworks
- Thursday—World War I demonstration
- Friday—Valdez STOL competition
- Saturday—Night Air Show and fireworks
More details about the final scheduling will be posted on EAA’s website.
