Flights In A B-17, B-25, Ford Tri-Motor, or Bell 47 Available This Year

If you arrive at AirVenture via ground vehicle, you're missing the chance to see an amazing plethora of aviation treasures in their glory by missing out on an overflight. Seriously; as incredible as the sights and sounds may be while touring the grounds of the hallowed land of Oshkosh, it takes on extraordinary level of greatness when seen from the air.

That said; EAA AirVenture Oshkosh wouldn’t be The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration without the opportunity to enjoy flights in rare and historic aircraft during the week -- and see Wittman Field from the air.

The newest addition is the B-17 Yankee Lady from the Yankee Air Museum in Michigan. With EAA’s Aluminum Overcast down for maintenance, EAA says they're extremely pleased that AirVenture attendees will still have the opportunity to experience a ride in the mighty Flying Fortress. Those flights will take place on July 26-August 1 and will be based at Appleton International Airport (ATW). A shuttle will operate from the AirVenture grounds to Appleton for passengers.

More information on booking B-17 flights is available at the Yankee Air Museum B-17 website. In addition, EAA’s B-25 Berlin Express and Bell 47 helicopters, plus the Liberty Aviation Museum’s Ford Tri-Motor, are available for flights throughout the week.
