The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) has announced that a wide array of military aircraft ranging from historic World War II warbirds to currently active fighters will be on display for the “Year of the Fighter” at AirVenture 2019 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Special programs and activities highlighting military aircraft will take place throughout the week. Events include the Oshkosh debut of the XP-82 Twin Mustang, a salute to World War II ace Bud Anderson, observance of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, U.S. Air Force Heritage Flights and U.S. Navy Legacy Flights.
According to EAA, the events have been planned in partnership with the U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command, EAA Warbirds of America and individual aircraft owners. “Oshkosh is known for being a collection of aircraft and people that is unmatched anywhere in the world, and that will again be the case in 2019,” said EAA vice president of communities and member programs Rick Larsen. “We are grateful to the U.S. Air Force and the Air Combat Command for their assistance and to the EAA Warbirds of America to make possible these kinds of activities, for which AirVenture is known and eagerly anticipated each year.”
Aircraft scheduled to attend include examples of the F-15, F-16, F-22, F-35, A-10, P-51, C-47, F4U and others. AirVenture 2019 will take place Monday, July 22 to Sunday July 28, centered around Wisconsin’s Wittman Airport (OSH).
