Top air show performers commit to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023

More performers to be added in coming weeks to initial all-star roster

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (January 20, 2023) — Some of the world’s top air show performers have made commitments to fly at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 – the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration – as part of the afternoon and night air show lineups.

Those performers include aerobatic champions and longtime Oshkosh favorites for the 70th Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention, scheduled for July 24-30 at Wittman Regional Airport.

Daily afternoon air shows are presented by Daher and Pratt & Whitney, while night air shows are presented by Covington Aircraft (July 26) and PenFed Credit Union (July 29).

“This is already an outstanding all-star air show lineup for the 70th EAA fly-in convention and we’re just getting started,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “There are returning performers, new air show acts, and particular aircraft connected with specific events and anniversaries. We’ll be adding more exciting acts and performances in the coming weeks that will again make the nine air shows during AirVenture week unforgettable.”

Aircraft Insurance Round-table Discussion

Posted on October 25, 2022 by skysmith

I was invited to participate in a  Aviation Insurance Round-table discussion with a few of my colleagues.

The discussion was about what we, as aviation insurance brokers, are seeing in the aviation insurance marketplace. This includes increases in premium, pilot age issues and difficulty obtaining insurance.

Thanks to Larry Anglisano and the Aviation Consumer Magazine and Kitplanes Magazine for hosting and putting this together.
