Vintage Aircraft Association to Feature Aircraft Gatherings, Youth Activities at AirVenture 2025

Vintage aircraft will be on full display at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 as the Vintage Aircraft Association has a packed lineup of aircraft gatherings and activities for all ages to enjoy during the week.

Several select aircraft types are set to gather in the Vintage area. A collection of Cessna 180/185s will be one of the featured aircraft types, with more than 50 already registered to attend. Additionally, the Travel Air and Fairchild aircraft manufacturing companies celebrate their centennial anniversaries this year. A collection of aircraft from both companies will be parked in the Vintage area.

After a successful opening year, the Charles W. Harris Youth Aviation Center will expand last year’s offerings with additional activities and events for children of all ages. Two teen nights are on the schedule for July 23 and July 25 from 6 to 8 p.m., offering teenagers an opportunity to participate in games and activities while meeting others their age. Hands-on workshops will also be offered on July 22-27 for ages 6-12 to participate in activities to learn about basic aerodynamics and hand tool use.

Vintage in Review, the series of informal and interactive presentations featuring select aircraft and aviators, will return in 2025 with a complete schedule of events to be announced in the coming weeks.
