EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (formerly the EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In) is an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport () in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States. The airshow is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), an international organization based in Oshkosh, and is the largest of its kind in the world. The show lasts a week, usually beginning on the last Monday in July. During the gathering, the airport's control tower is the busiest in the world.〔("EAA AirVenture takes flight for the future" ), Milwaukee Journal Sentinel〕
== History ==
EAA was founded in Hales Corners, Wisconsin in 1953 by Paul Poberezny, who originally started the organization in the basement of his home for builders and restorers of recreational aircraft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= EAA Notable Dates and Milestones )〕 Although homebuilding is still a large part of the organization's activities, it has grown to include almost every aspect of recreational aviation and aeronautics. The first EAA fly-in was held in September 1953 at what is now Timmerman Field as a small part of the Milwaukee Air Pageant, fewer than 150 people registered as visitors the first year and only a handful of airplanes attended the event. In 1959, the EAA fly-in grew too large for the Air Pageant and moved to Rockford, Illinois.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Early Years )〕 In 1970, when it outgrew its facilities at the Rockford airport, it moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Home in Oshkosh )〕
For many years the official name of the event was The EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In. In 1998, the name was changed to ''AirVenture Oshkosh'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The World Comes to AirVenture )〕 but many regular attendees still call it as ''The Oshkosh Airshow'' or just ''Oshkosh''. For many years, access to the flight line was restricted to EAA members. In 1997, the fee structure for the show was changed allowing all visitors access to the entire grounds. EAA AirVenture holds nearly 1,000 forums and workshops.〔
