Aircraft groups arriving at Oshkosh on July 19-21
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (February 23, 2024) — The schedule is set for groups of specific aircraft types to land as mass arrivals prior to the start of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, which is July 22-28 at Wittman Regional Airport. These groups will arrive at specific times on July 19-21, prior to opening day.
“These arrivals add to the camaraderie at Oshkosh that makes it aviation’s annual family reunion,” said Sean Elliott, EAA’s vice president of advocacy and safety. “We schedule these mass arrivals in advance to give time for those who might be interested to find more information and complete any additional training that might be required by the individual aircraft group, as well as to let other pilots know when these groups will land at Oshkosh and plan their own arrivals accordingly.”
The established schedule includes the following dates, along with links to the specific aircraft types:
Friday, July 19
Saturday, July 20
Sunday, July 21
Information can also be found in the “Flying In” section at EAA.org/AirVenture and will be included in the FAA’s AirVenture Notice (commonly known as NOTAM). These mass arrivals to Oshkosh are organized by independent organizations, which may require membership or additional training and briefing prior to the flight. Arrival times could be altered by weather and other factors.

Aviation liability insurance is pretty confusing. Actually not just aviation insurance, all insurance can be confusing. So i thought id share a little bit of information.
Typically, liability coverage, in an aviation insurance policy, will be for property damage and bodily injury. The following definitions were taken from various policies and simplified as best as possible.
“Property damage” means any physical damage to “tangible” property. This coverage does not cover the aircraft itself, any of your own property or property that you are in charge of. This is just for the property belonging to others that was damaged by the accident.
Liability also covers “bodily injury”, which is pretty simple. This means the physical (bodily) injury to or the death of a person.
There is another coverage included or added. This coverage is called medical payment (med pay). This is the amount that the insurance company will pay for a persons immediate medical expense such as an ambulance ride after the accident, emergency room visit, etc. This coverage is usually in amounts such as $1,000, $5,000 or maybe $10,000.
Here is a quick video rundown of liability in aircraft insurance. Hopefully it will help clear a few things up. If not or you have more questions feel free to contact me.
