It feels like forever ago that we last met up as pilots and aviation enthusiasts at the world’s largest general aviation gathering—EAA AirVenture—even though it was only two years ago. Though EAA did a fantastic job producing a virtual AirVenture last year, we all know there’s no substitute for seeing it in person. You can check the main Schedule of Events for your own areas of interest, but here are a few highlights that we’ve seen so far. And here’s one last pitch to read the notam if you’re flying in—there are lots of updates from 2019.
ForeFlight forums have been standing-room-only since the app first launched—and we expect 2021 to be no different. Jeppesen and ForeFlight are hosting a forum on their respective charts and mobile app at the AOPA tent, at 9 am on Tuesday, July 27, plus Boeing leads a panel, titled “Air Travel Safety during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond,” on the EAA Forum’s Stage 3 at 1 pm on Monday, July 26.
