EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 Notice includes important procedure updates for pilots flying to event

Document is required reading for Oshkosh-bound pilots

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (May 20, 2025) — There are several important Federal Aviation Administration-approved updates in the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 Notice (commonly referred to as the Oshkosh NOTAM), featuring arrival and departure procedures for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s 72nd fly-in convention on July 21-27 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh. These changes are based on pilot feedback and FAA review of arrival procedure recommendations.

The document is in effect from noon CDT on Thursday, July 17, until noon CDT on Monday, July 28, and outlines procedures for the many types of aircraft that fly to Oshkosh for the event, as well as aircraft that land at nearby airports. The Notice was designed by the FAA to assist pilots in their EAA AirVenture flight planning.

Some of the 2025 updates include:

  • Maintaining 90 KTS until entering downwind at Oshkosh
  • New depiction of gravel pit/beginning descent over gravel pit (any portion) when arriving to Runway 27.
  • Addition of a QR code on the Notice cover that directs to the EAA “Flying In” webpage
  • References to mass arrival schedule, transient helicopter operations, and the EAA Seaplane Base.

The ATC-assignable transition points approaching Oshkosh from the west that will ease holding and congestion will again be in effect in 2025. These points are at Endeavor Bridge, Puckaway Lake, and Green Lake. They will be announced on the arrival ATIS when ATC activates them at times of highest traffic flows.

“The most essential information for any pilot flying to Oshkosh involves reading and thoroughly understanding the 2025 AirVenture Notice to ensure safe operations on arrival and departure,” said Sean Elliott, EAA’s vice president of advocacy and safety. “We urge all pilots to adequate prepare prior to their trip to Oshkosh and consider such things as our AirVenture arrival flight review so they have the proficiency and confidence to fly safely.”

EAA is also hosting a webinar on June 18 at 7 p.m. CDT regarding flying to AirVenture 2025 and changes in this year’s Notice. Pilots are encouraged to participate to build their knowledge prior to their flights to Oshkosh.

Pilots can download a digital version of the Notice at EAA.org/NOTAM, or order a free printed copy via that website or by calling EAA Membership Services at 800-564-6322.

Aviation innovation of Korean War era to be highlighted at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025

This year marks 75 years since start of conflict

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (April 25, 2025) — The aviation innovation and technology of the Korean War era, which in this year marks 75 years since its beginning, will be highlighted at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 on July 21-27. The 72nd edition of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s fly-in convention will be held at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The aircraft on display will showcase the transition from piston-powered aircraft to fighter jets, and will be included in air show demonstrations and on display in Boeing Plaza and in the Warbirds area.

“While legendary World War II aircraft such as the Corsair and P-51 Mustang still were widely flown at the start of the Korean War in 1950, a new age of jets rapidly came to the front lines during that time,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “It marked a permanent change in aviation technology that will be prominent at Oshkosh this year.”

Among the Korean War-era piston-powered aircraft already committed are the Corsair, P-51 Mustang, B-29 Superfortress, AD-4 and AD-5W Skyraiders, PB4Y, and L-5. Jet aircraft committed to AirVenture include the P-80, F-84, MiG 15, MiG 17, and F-86 Sabre. This year also marks the 85th anniversary of the Corsair, the 80th anniversary of the A-1 Skyraider, and the 75th anniversary of the MiG 17.

While elements of these displays will be present throughout AirVenture week, a primary focus will be Wednesday through Friday, July 23-25, that will include air show performances by a variety of these aircraft. In addition, evening programming at EAA’s Theater in the Woods and Fly-In Theater are in development that will correspond to the commemoration of the Korean War’s 75th anniversary. More details on those programs will be announced as they are finalized.
