Oshkosh bound? Sporty’s has an app for that

By Janice Wood · July 13, 2011 ·

Sporty’s has released the official EAA AirVenture 2011 Fly-In App for both Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch) and Android devices (phones and tablets). The free app includes maps to guides to schedules.

Fly-In information includes the complete AirVenture NOTAM for arrival and departure procedures as well as VFR route planning, aerial images and much more information for Oshkosh-bound pilots.

Once at the show, the AirVenture app has maps of the show grounds, including individual hangar and display areas for locating the exhibit you’d like to see. The master list of forums and presentations allows you to organize events into a favorites list so you don’t miss a moment of the action.

“You can also review the list of exhibitors with this app and mark those you want to visit in a favorites list,” says Sporty’s VP John Zimmerman. “You can plan a route so you can see everything you want to see without wasting time searching for a particular exhibitor.”

The daily schedule will be right in your pocket too. Sporty’s AirVenture app includes the schedule of forums, workshops, the daily air show and the evening programs.

“We created and donated this app as a service to AirVenture attendees,” said Zimmerman. “All of us pilots who love our phones and iPads will be able to put them to more good use with this free app from Sporty’s.”

Sporty’sAirVenture App works on all Apple devices, including iPad, iPad2, iPhone and iPod Touch. Another version of the app is designed for Android users, including tablets.
