OSHKOSH — The daily lineups for the popular afternoon and evening airshows are set for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024, the annual fly-in convention for the Experimental Aircraft Association. The 71st edition of the event is July 22-28 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
“‘Oshkosh’ is a word that for aviators means the best of the best, and that includes the air show performers who fly here,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. ‘Whether the performances come from jet teams, aerobatic champions, or new technology, flying at AirVenture is known as a singular achievement for these aviators.”
