The weeklong show was kicked off with a concert by country stars Dustin Lynch and Maddie & Tae on Boeing Plaza. Also, approximately 1,000 women pilots wearing red commemora- tive t-shirts took part in the annual WomenVenture photo on Boeing Plaza, which highlighted a day of inspiring presentations and networking opportunities.
“A ‘perfect’ event may be unattainable, but AirVenture 2018 came about as close as one could imagine. The combination of outstanding programs, aircraft variety, a robust economy, and good weather combined to complement the efforts of our staff and 5,000 volunteers throughout the grounds. The week was upbeat, exciting, and filled with many ‘Only at Oshkosh’ mo- ments,” added Pelton.
Looking ahead to 2019, AirVenture will celebrate its 50th consecutive year in Oshkosh. EAA is already putting together activities that involve EAA’s hometown and its unique place in aviation history.
“While 2018 is barely in the record •books, we’re talking to many groups and individuals with intriguing new ideas for aircraft, innovations, exhibits, and events. We’re already plan- ning for 2019 and looking forward to announcing features and attractions very soon,” Pelton concluded. T&T
