Epic at Oshkosh: The Ultimate Annual Aviation Event
Each year, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) holds an annual fly-in and airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The official name of the event is EAA AirVenture, but because pilots have their own shorthand for everything, most pilots simply refer to this amazing air show as “Oshkosh!” Here you can witness seven straight days of aerobatics, vintage aircraft, and the latest aviation technology. Oshkosh is every pilot’s bucket-list airshow. All the cool kids go. For instance, in 2016 you would have spotted Harrison Ford. And had you attended in 2017, you would have seen Marvel Comic’s own Stan Lee. Whether you want to see celebrities or just enjoy an amazing air show, plan your summer calendar around this amazing event. And make sure you stop by the Epic booth and say hi!
