What:
Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh is the home of the world's largest and
most significant annual aviation event. More than 15,000 planes of
every size, shape and description - home-built, antique and aerobatics
planes, plus military and general aviation aircraft from all over the
world - are on display along the site's flight line. Visitors can inspect
the planes close-up and watch daily formation and daredevil flying
exhibitions performed by an international crew of expert aerobatics
pilots.
More than 500 educational forums, seminars and
workshops are offered throughout the event and more than 700 exhibitors -
including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Federal
Aviation administration, the National Transportation Safety Board, and
U.S. and Canadian customs officials - will display aircraft and conduct
forums covering all aspects of aviation.
Daily air shows showcase the talents of the
world's top aerobatics performers. A schedule of evening programs is also
being coordinated for the convention's "Theater in the
Woods". Show planes, including antiques, classics, home-builts,
warbirds, ultralights and rotorcraft, will be located along the 8,000-foot
flightline.
