In Service of the Greater Good
The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) has announced the extension of its Platinum-Level sponsorship with U.S. aerospace titan Boeing. The EAA’s AirVenture relationship with Boeing—by which the whole of the general aviation sector benefits—dates back to 1989 and has kept Boeing’s AirVenture presence among the largest on AirVenture’s Oshkosh, Wisconsin grounds.
By virtue of the newly agreed-upon extension, Boeing will retain the Boeing Plaza naming rights and continue to honor its commitment to provide no-cost AirVenture admission to all youth attendees aged 18 and younger.
Moreover, the extension addresses Jeppesen and ForeFlight product representation in the grounds’ Pilot Proficiency Center, management of the Airline Crew Check-in, Presenting Sponsor of WomenVenture, and continued support of KidVenture.
Speaking to the subject of the Association’s renewed agreement with Boeing, EAA chairman and CEO Jack Pelton stated: “Boeing’s involvement with EAA and AirVenture means more people can engage with aviation at Oshkosh.”
Mr. Pelton continued: “Boeing’s support of our free youth admission allows families to enjoy our event and discover flight, while EAA WomenVenture inspires women to pursue their dreams, and Boeing Plaza is known worldwide for a gathering of airplanes seen nowhere else but Oshkosh.”
Brad Surak, vice-president of digital aviation solutions for Boeing’s Global Services business, remarked: “AirVenture is not just a general aviation event; the commercial, business and military representation is massive, which makes it a perfect venue to showcase our diverse collection of Boeing products and services.”
Mr. Surak concluded: “EAA is an organization with impressive global reach, and our collaboration is important on many levels. AirVenture is a platform that allows us to do many things—from assessing market interest of new products to inspiring the next generation of aviation professionals.”
