THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH
TOP STORY
TO ALL EAA MEMBERS AND VISITORS:
Welcome to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022, our annual convention that also just happens to be the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration. For one magical week, all things aviation converge on what becomes the world’s busiest airport, right here in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We think of it as aviation’s family reunion — if you’ve been here before, I’m sure you’ll agree, and if this is your first trip, I think you’ll see what we mean. Oshkosh is a special place, and that comes in no small part from our founder Paul Poberezny’s well-known Oshkosh Rules: Treat everyone with kindness, be respectful around all aircraft, and pick up that stray piece of trash you see on the grounds. As you walk around, you really will be hard-pressed to find a single scrap of litter. If you do, you’ll likely be competing with other visitors for the chance to pick it up and throw it away properly. That simple fact speaks volumes about EAA members and the pride of ownership they feel for our annual convention, and the civility and camaraderie that make this event different from so many other large gatherings. It truly is unlike anything else.
WELCOME

When you come to Oshkosh, you’re surrounded by people from all over the world, all of whom have two things in common — their love of aviation, and the fact that there is nowhere else they’d rather be. That’s an infectious attitude, one that not only rejuvenates us as individuals, but has a similar restorative effect on the aviation community as a whole. It’s all but impossible to leave Oshkosh without having more friends than you did when you got here. By the way, there’s one more rule on Paul’s list, and that’s to be sure to thank any of our 6,000-plus volunteers you run into. There’s simply no way this could happen without them. So, as you explore this year’s AirVenture, whether it’s your first visit or you’re a seasoned veteran, have fun, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and soak up the world of aviation interests that you’ll find only in Oshkosh. Thanks to all of you for your support, and most of all, welcome (back) to aviation’s family reunion! Best regards, JACK J. PELTON CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION
