While on its surface, EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, looks like it’s all about aircraft—the airplanes, rotorcraft, VTOLs, and other aerial conveyances that take us into the air. But really? Most folks will tell you the real draw is the people who come together to look at, fly, talk about, and dream about said aircraft. Your aviation friends and family are the real stars of the show—but you also don’t want to miss out on a few special folks that you’ll get the chance to meet here—and nowhere else on Earth.
Airshow Stars
You can catch the ultimate in airshow stylings in the air above show center—but did you know there are opportunities to meet and greet the performers themselves once they come back to terra firma? Stars like Michael Goulian and Patty Wagstaff often host meet-ups at their respective sponsors’ booths—for example, look to Whelen Aviation Technologies and their big black-and-yellow exhibit near the flight line for Goulian’s schedule.
