If we get the all-clear to head to Oshkosh, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2020 will continue the tradition of legends, personalities, and history makers at Oshkosh evening programs, as this year's Theater in the Woods schedule brings together notable guests from the worlds of aviation and spaceflight throughout the week.
The 68th annual Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention is scheduled for July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
"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."
