It’s not too early to start planning for EAA AirVenture 2014. We’re less than four months away from the world’s greatest aviation celebration. It will take place July 28 – August 3, 2014.
If you’re new to EAA and AirVenture, you can take a few minutes and look through Chapter 569 members’ photos from AirVenture in past years. Click the following links to view the albums for each year: AirVenture 2013; AirVenture 2012; AirVenture 2011; AirVenture 2010.
AirVenture takes place once a year around the end of July and beginning of August in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. EAA’s renowed annual Airventure Fly-in Convention showcases in one week what EAA is involved in throughout the year. All of EAA’s year-round activities encourage the open exchange information, discussing new ideas and transferring skills from one person to another from generation to generation. In short, they combine to provide a “gateway” to knowledge and new experiences. Thousands of people fly-in their planes that they own and/or have built themselves and share their experiences and expertise. AirVenture attracts people from around 60 different countries; in past years, AirVenture has welcomed 600,000 international visitors. As you can see, AirVenture is a meeting place for people from all over the world to come together and share their passion for aviation. At AirVenture, you will find many exhibits, vendors, conferences, workshops, aircraft on display, and much more.
Many people choose to camp out on the campgrounds right there at AirVenture. Shower facilities and other accommodations are available. There are also dorms available in and around Oshkosh that are very affordable. Hotels are widely available in the area as well, however, you can expect to pay a premium price for a hotel in or close to Oshkosh during AirVenture. There is more information available on the AirVenture Website.
Weekly and daily rates are available for admissions. As an EAA member, you are able to bring one guest and get them in at the discounted price offered to EAA members. The daily price for an adult EAA member is $26; non-EAA member is $41. Weekly pricing is only available to EAA members (and their guest) and is $114. Click here for detailed pricing information on the AirVenture website.
Each day has a number of exclusive events planned. In order to take full advantage of AirVenture, it can be a good idea to look over the schedule beforehand to see what interests you. As we get closer to the airshow, AirVenture will publish a list of events for each day, along with a list of Daily Highlights. These will be available on the AirVenture Website.
We’ll have more information on AirVenture in the coming months as the airshow gets closer!
