Key Takeaways:

“It seems like there are more people here than there were last year.” 

You heard this phrase a lot last week at EAA AirVenture 2025. And according to numbers totaled by the EAA, the observation is spot-on. The theme of this year’s event (July 21-27) was “One Week, Endless Possibilities,” and it rang true as the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual fly-in/airshow total attendance reached a record-setting 704,000, topping the 686,000 mark set in 2024.
