EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023: Introduction to Exhibitors

By Carmelo Turdo

The Aero Experience continues our coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023, sponsored by Piston Aviation, with this introduction to the aerospace industry exhibitors we visited during our ten days on the grounds. From light bulbs to powerplants, toys to avionics, and every brand of aircraft imaginable, visitors to AirVenture can find almost anything related to aviation from a world-wide choice of venders.

Here we begin a series of stories featuring the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 grounds and exhibitors in a loosely topical arrangement. The first set below includes the main gate entry point, conspicuous control tower, first weekend exhibitor setup, tram transporter, pedal plane stand, marketplace and food venues.

Future posts will include exhibitors according to their general area of business, such as general aviation, executive jets, powerplants and avionics among other categories. Here we include a preview of the more recognizable brands.

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023: Saturday Airshow, Part 3 - Military Demo Teams

By Carmelo Turdo

The Aero Experience continues our coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023, sponsored by Piston Aviation, by featuring one of the most sensational aspects of the nation's largest aviation event of the year - the spectacular airshows. We previously featured a selection of airshow performers from the week in our Airshow Outtakes and New Year's celebration posts, and we continue here with our full coverage of the signature Saturday day and night airshows.

AirVenture airshows provide a wide variety of aerial entertainment, from skydivers to aerobatic champions to military jets and warbirds of all types. These performances must be felt and heard as well as seen to be properly enjoyed, so we will do our best to present the airshow as this total experience.
