Key Takeaways:

The EAA AirVenture will feature "Vintage in Review" from July 22-26, an interactive series showcasing rare airworthy aircraft built between 1903 and 1970, with a special focus this year on antique and classic planes from the 1920s to 1940s.
The "Vintage in Review" presentations will allow attendees to see unique airplanes up close and hear stories directly from owners, pilots, and aviation personalities, alongside vocal performances and antique engine runs.
Several aircraft are celebrating significant production anniversaries at the event, including ultralights (30th), homebuilts (40th), the Helio Courier (70th), the North American T-28 (75th), and the Aeronca (80th).

One of the best parts of EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh is seeing all the vintage aircraft gathered in one place. Not only are the aircraft massed some of the finest restorations on the planet, the fact they are often privately owned and airworthy makes them that much more special.

Often organized by type, and parked in disciplined rows, these meticulously restored machines are something to behold—and learn about.
