Piper Cub Owners Invited To Register Online For
Aircraft’s 75th Anniversary Celebration
Hundreds of Piper Cubs are expected to turn the flightline at
EAA AirVenture 2012 into a “field of yellow” as a part
of the week-long celebration of the iconic aircraft’s 75th
anniversary. The 60th annual “World’s Greatest Aviation
Celebration” scheduled for July 23-29 at Wittman Regional
Airport.
All Piper Cub owners are invited to fly in and be an integral
part of the celebration at EAA AirVenture, which will feature a
special aircraft parking section located near the Vintage area
along the flightline. Cub owners are encouraged to register at www.cubs2oshkosh.com, an
interactive community of Cub owners that will feature the latest
information on Cub-related festivities leading up to and during
AirVenture.
Among the anticipated activities are staging points throughout
North America where Cub owners can gather en route. Those include a
mass gathering at Wisconsin’s Hartford Municipal Airport
(HXF), located 60 miles to the south, before heading up to Oshkosh
for a group arrival. “When talking about iconic aircraft that
pioneered the GA movement, you need to look no further than the
distinctive Piper Cub,” said Rod Hightower, EAA
President/CEO. “Like many other aircraft types, Cub owners
are a community-oriented group that is synonymous with EAA’s
culture. If you own or fly a Piper Cub, you need to be at EAA
AirVenture and be a key part in honoring 75 years all week
long.”
Throughout the week, special features, attractions, and programs
will honor the legacy of this pioneering light aircraft, with those
events to be announced in the upcoming months. Already confirmed
are two air show acts – Greg Koontz and the Alabama Boys, a
flying farmer comedy routine featuring a Piper J-3 Cub landing on
top of a truck, as well as the return of Kyle Franklin, who will
perform his PA-18 Super Cub comedy routine.
Additionally, a Piper J-3 Cub will be awarded to a lucky winner
as the grand prize in the 2012 EAA “Win The Cub”
Aircraft Sweepstakes. The EAA Sweepstakes, one of the longest
running airplane giveaways in the world, annually supports
EAA’s aviation education programs. In a change from past
years, EAA Sweepstakes entry forms will be available through EAA
AirVenture 2012. All prizes will be awarded to winners in random
drawings at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh at 5 p.m. on Sept.
10, 2012.
