EAA was founded in 1953 by Paul and Audrey Poberezny and a group of their friends in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who were interested in building their own airplanes. Through the decades, the organization expanded its mission to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters and contemporary manufactured aircraft.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Watch out, there’s a Vampire on the loose! Don’t worry, this de Havilland Vampire is more interested in haunting the sky than your neighborhood.

Do you have an aviation-themed costume? Tell us in the comments!

Behind this Thorp T-18 is two decades of work by builder Ray Henning. Health challenges eventually led Ray to part ways with the airplane, passing it on to new owner Scott Ginn.

Excited and honored to become its caretaker, Scott brought the aircraft to Oshkosh in 2012. There, Ray’s craftsmanship earned recognition, with the T-18 taking home a Bronze Lindy.

The Warbirds neighborhood of our annual convention is a must-see for visitors to Oshkosh. For one week each year, that part of the airport is home to hundreds of ex-military aircraft, from trainers and L-birds up through heavy bombers and once-frontline fighters. These aircraft are restored, preserved, and flown to honor all who served, and to ensure that the valor and sacrifice of those who came before us are never forgotten.

It’s , and sometimes unusual designs make history! Pushy Galore became a part of our museum in 1998 after years of competing in the Reno Air Races and setting three time-to-climb records – two right here in Oshkosh!

Were any of you there to see Pushy set those records?

There’s just something about a Stearman. 😍

Classic lines, but custom style, this is Bryan Brannon’s Stearman Model 75 that has the timeless biplane look with plenty of personality.

A clear winner of the Bronze Age Lindy for Outstanding Open-Cockpit Biplane at AirVenture 2024!

Are you able to identify any of those customizations?
