Each July, Oshkosh Wisconsin becomes home to hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts from all corners of the world as visitors flock to EAA AirVenture. Started in September of 1953, the gathering has grown into the world’s foremost aviation event. During the week, roughly 10,000 attending aircraft transform Wittman Field from a quiet country airport to the world’s busiest air traffic control center.

This year, attendance soared above expectation as 578,000 guests either came through the main gate or flew in during the event; every aspect of aviation was represented. Visitors celebrated both new and old alike, from Virgin Galactic’s public unveiling of the WhiteKnightTwo to the 60th anniversary of the T-28s. Certain aircraft, however, made a particularly sizeable impression on guests including the “Elvis” Skycrane, the C-130, and the world’s largest airliner, the Airbus A380.
The bustle of attending crowds and aircraft never ceased, and Aero-TV took the opportunity to capture EAA AirVenture 2009 in an entirely new way. Join Aero-TV as we re-live Oshkosh through high-definition time-lapses. Experience the excitement and activity of EAA AirVenture 2009 in 150 seconds!
A special note: The Aero-TV crew would like to extend their sincere appreciation for the involvement of two particular contributors to this piece. First, Mike LoPresti tirelessly captured much of these time-lapses, and we are tremendously grateful for his incredible work, time, and effort.
EAA AirVenture would not have been the same without him. Additionally, we would like to thank Canon. Without the attending crew’s support and state-of-the-art equipment, this piece would not have been possible. Thank you for your dedication and your time.
