EAA Announces Air Show Lineup for AirVenture 2004
The Experimental Aircraft Association will again welcome some of
the world's finest air show performers for the 2004 EAA AirVenture
fly-in, July 27-August 2, at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh
(WI).
The daily air shows have played a major role in the world's
largest aviation event, AirVenture Oshkosh, since the first EAA
AirVenture fly-in began in 1953. Top aerobatic competitors and
teams, precise formations of Warbirds, plus the Marine Corps
Harrier and many other EAA favorites, never cease to awe visitors
with their aerobatic routines.
"If you look at the lineup of air show performers who have flown
at AirVenture through the years, it is a list of the very best
aerobatic pilots in the world over the past three decades," said
Tom Poberezny, EAA President and AirVenture Chairman. "The mixed
audience of aviation enthusiasts who understand the skill and
dedication required by performers, as well as the general public
entertained by "breathtaking" acts in the sky, make AirVenture
Oshkosh a highly anticipated venue for these world-class air show
performers."
Featured aircraft and aviation representatives will kick off the
daily afternoon performances with their "Showcase Flights" before
popular returning pilots, long time favorites and exciting new
arrivals take to the skies at 3:30 p.m. (2:00 p.m. on Monday,
August 2).
Among the top performers at EAA AirVenture 2004 will be Patty
Wagstaff, Sean Tucker, Soucy/Stokes Wing Act, Liberty Parachute
Team, and the AeroShell Aerobatic Team. Warbird performances will
be featured on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
