FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Boeing Plaza becomes ‘Crossroads of Aviation’ at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026

Showcase aircraft large and small featured throughout week

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (July 8, 2026) — Boeing Plaza, the large aircraft ramp at the center of the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh grounds, will again become the “Crossroads of Aviation” with an ever-changing lineup of major aircraft during the 73rd edition of the Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention in July 20-26.

The 2026 lineup includes modern military aircraft, historic airplanes, the latest innovations, and special guest appearances. The roster of aircraft will change throughout the week, with some airplanes visiting for only one day while others will remain for the entire event. In addition, many of the aircraft will reinforce AirVenture’s salute to America 250.

“There is no place else in the world where one can see a combination of noteworthy aircraft and people as you can on Boeing Plaza during EAA AirVenture,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “Nearly every notable type of airplane of the past 35 years has appeared in that area at some point. What’s also noteworthy is that the coordination of those aircraft is completely organized by a group of AirVenture’s dedicated volunteers, who have probably pulled and tugged more aircraft types than any ramp crew in the world.”

Among the aircraft scheduled on Boeing Plaza in 2026 are a U.S. Air Force B-52, C-5, and C-17, fighter jets such as the F-16, F-35, and F-15, and airliners in special livery designs from Southwest and Delta Airlines. The schedule of display aircraft is subject to change without notice.

Boeing Plaza was originally created in the late 1980s as a taxiway with four aircraft parking “fingers” and expanded into the full ramp in 1993. All aircraft on Boeing Plaza are displayed as a part of regular AirVenture admission.

What is Liability Insurance?

Posted on by

Confused about what liability insurance is?

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.
