AeroSports Update: Blue Angels On AV Initial Schedule

EAA AirVenture 2017 Is Already Starting To Pump Up For Some Exciting Action

The International Council of Air Shows convention held in Las Vegas last week was attended by many, including representatives from the Experimental Aircraft Association. Now, we’ve been informed through a press release that the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, one of the world’s premier military jet teams, has included EAA AirVenture Oshkosh as part of its initial 2017 performance schedule.

The Blue Angels’ initial schedule at Oshkosh includes flying on the event’s final weekend. The exact activities and schedule are still being finalized, as EAA will continue working on essential operation issues involved in the appearance. It would mark the first time the Blue Angels would perform its full show in front of Oshkosh audiences.

“We’re excited to be included on the Blue Angels 2017 schedule as a first step toward their inaugural performance at Oshkosh, and their team has indicated their excitement at coming to AirVenture,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs who coordinates features and attractions at AirVenture. “Oshkosh has attracted an unmatched lineup of incredible aircraft and personalities over the past six decades, and the Blue Angels add to that legendary roster.”

In the last couple of years EAA AirVenture has found a way to manage the crowd lines and clear space needed for the performances of major military demonstration teams. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds were the first to try out the new procedures, and last year we were all treated to a performance by the Canadian Snowbirds. It’s beginning to look like appearances by these types of demonstration teams may continue to be a part of EAA AirVenture.

Of course, while at the ICAS convention EAA also started filling the schedule with other airshow acts. EAA says that along with long-standing favorites, their team is always seeking exciting new acts to include on the AirVenture schedule that usually encompasses more than 50 performers.
