At The Corner Of Knapp And Main
The corner of Knapp
Street and AirVenture's main thoroughfare, east of the main gate
will have a new look at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2004. This
intersection is now a "must-go-there" destination called the EAA
Member Village at AirVenture. It includes the EAA Membership Tent,
EAA's Sport Pilot Center, and an EAA Merchandise Tent. Previously
this location was the Food Court which is now located south of the
EAA Wearhouse.
Within the EAA Membership Tent all attendees can learn more
about EAA and its many programs and services and can even join the
venerable organization. Current members can:
- Renew their membership
- Take a turn at flying the 1903 Wright Flyer simulator
- Register for daily prize drawings
- Deposit their coupon for the John Deere Gator
- View the Land-A-Member grand prize (a Zodiac XL kitplane)
- Check their e-mail at the Internet Cafe
- Learn more about our partner programs
- Attend member-only evening receptions and after all that
activity
- Refresh themselves with a cold drink of water.
Focus of the EAA Sport Pilot Center remains squarely on the
pending sport pilot/light-sport aircraft rule awaiting approval
from the White House Office of Management and Budget. Several
examples of light-sport aircraft will be on display and EAA staff,
volunteers, and FAA experts will be available to answer all SP/LSA
questions. EAA publications and literature will be well available
in both the Member and Sport Pilot tents. EAA's Membership
Merchandise Tent will provide "classic" EAA and AirVenture 2004
clothing and gifts.
Also, this year EAA will kick off AirVenture with a new Opening
Rally in the Member Village. The rally will begin at 10:30 on
opening day, Tuesday, July 27. There will be lots of surprises
during this kick-off rally including special recognitions for
members and celebrity guests.
