EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (January 20, 2023) — Some of the world’s top air show performers have made commitments to fly at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 – the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration – as part of the afternoon and night air show lineups.
Those performers include aerobatic champions and longtime Oshkosh favorites for the 70th Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention, scheduled for July 24-30 at Wittman Regional Airport. The event features nine air shows over seven days, including night airshows on July 26 and 29. Daily afternoon air shows are presented by Daher and Pratt & Whitney, while night air shows are presented by Covington Aircraft (July 26) and PenFed Credit Union (July 29).
“This is already an outstanding all-star air show lineup for the 70th EAA fly-in convention and we’re just getting started,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “There are returning performers, new air show acts, and particular aircraft connected with specific events and anniversaries.
