EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has an immense amount of opportunities to further develop your knowledge about aviation. Some folks may come to AirVenture just to get out of the house and enjoy some sunshine. We’d love to have you here either way! AirVenture offers air shows, food and beverages, gift shops, workshops, and webinars. You name it, we probably have it. Here are the top 10 things to do while you are here at EAA AirVenture for someone who might be new to the world of aviation.
Daily Air Show
The daily air show is one of the most memorable events of AirVenture week. You will see world-class aerobatics, learn about aviation history, and much more during the four-hour show that starts at 2 p.m. You can see the air show from all around the grounds, but most people watch near the flightline to get an up-close look at these spectacular performances.
Night Air Show
The night air show is hosted on Wednesday and Saturday night starting around 8 p.m. The night air show includes aerobatics and pyrotechnics attached to different aircraft, as well as a stunning world-class fireworks show.
Brown Arch
The Brown Arch is an iconic spot for EAA, which was built in 1971 and used as the entryway at the EAA Fly-In. You can find 3,000 inscribable bricks around the arch. This is a great spot for a photo opportunity with friends and family.
Gift Shops
The gift shops located all around the AirVenture grounds feature apparel, gadgets, and other fun toys and aviation equipment.
Movies Under the Stars
The Fly-In Theater gives you the opportunity to watch a variety of aviation films. This year we have Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick showing, along with several other features. Come check it out because you never know who may introduce a film!
Boeing Plaza/ Military Aircraft
When you walk in the main gate onto Celebration Way, as you walk toward the flightline you’ll come to Boeing Plaza. This is where you can expect to see the latest and greatest military aircraft parked alongside classic warbirds, high-tech prototypes, and massive airliners. You can find a map of the AirVenture grounds here.
Exhibit Hangars
Check out the exhibit hangars, where you can find more than 800 exhibitors waiting to talk to you about their products, services, and just about anything else related to. This is a great place to network and introduce yourself to key contacts throughout the aviation industry.
