EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — Young people ages 18 and under will be admitted free to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021, as a way to introduce more kids to the possibilities in the world of flight, according to officials with the Experimental Aircraft Association.
The 68th fly-in convention will be July 26-Aug. 1 at Wittman Regional Airport.
This effort is designed to encourage more aviation-minded families and their children to attend the event that brings more than 10,000 aircraft from around the world to Oshkosh each year.
“EAA’s mission is growing participation in aviation and in 2019, after EAA reduced admission costs for students, we saw an increased number of families coming to AirVenture,” said Jack J. Pelton, EAA’s CEO/chairman of the board. “As we continue to plan for a full AirVenture fly-in in 2021, inspiring young people and giving them a first look at what’s possible in aviation is part of our mission, but it’s only achievable if they can get in the gate.”
Youth activities and programs at AirVenture include the hands-on KidVenture display and program area; technology, innovation, and education options throughout the grounds; and events such as daily air shows and more than 1,500 forums, workshops, and seminars.
Complete admission pricing and advance online purchase is currently available at EAA.org/AirVenture.
