A Look At The EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024 Flight Show Schedule

On Thursday, June 27, representatives for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024 released the schedule for the upcoming air shows. The event, which will be held from July 22-28 at the Wittman Regional Airport (OSH) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, features several big names in air shows. Along with the air shows taking place above the airport, EAA AirVenture also provides several static displays of aircraft along with many activities for aviation enthusiasts of all ages. Let’s take a look at some of the unique air shows that will be on display during the week-long event.

Speaking about the upcoming airshows, Rick Larsen, the Vice President of Communities and Member Programs at EAA, stated,

“‘Oshkosh’ is a word that for aviators means the best of the best, and that includes the air show performers who fly here. Whether the performances come from jet teams, aerobatic champions, or new technology, flying at AirVenture is known as a singular achievement for these aviators.”
