Oshkosh Airshow
Oshkosh – the BIG one!
There can be no doubt, EAA’s Oshkosh Airshow and Fly-in, held annually on Wittman Airfield in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, is the world’s biggest aviation event. Not only that, but also being an aviation enthusiast’s gathering, it is also the most fun!
Unlike other shows, Oshkosh has something for every aviation enthusiast – warbirds, classics, ultralights, seaplanes, kitplanes, homebuilts and the world’s biggest gathering of factory built aircraft. |

| Oshkosh, because of it’s size, has also become the launch pad for any new aviation product . Every year, nearly one thousand exhibitors display their products at the show, ranging from avionics, kitplanes to sophisticated production models |
