July 26 - August 1: EAA Airventure 2010
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010
 
Location:
Wittman Regional Airport
3000 Poberezny Road 
Oshkosh, WI 54902
 
 
920-426-4800
  

Looking for a summer trip that’s loaded with oohs and aahs yet easier on the family budget? EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010, July 26-Aug. 1, is just a gas tank away to a week’s worth of unique family fun that takes the spirit of aviation and adventure to new heights!

 

AirVenture continually adds value to the entire event with aviation’s most amazing sights and a variety of entertainment.  Giving AirVenture a rockin’ flavor this year is the legendary band Chicago taking the stage on opening day at AeroShell Square, courtesy of Ford Motor Company. Actor Gary Sinise and his "Lt. Dan Band" return to AirVenture's Theater in the Woods to highlight a weeklong Salute to Veterans. Every night the Ford Fly-In Theater also offers an outdoor movie experience on a five-story screen.  All this entertainment and more are included in the admission price.

 

In a special tribute to the 75th anniversary of the B-17 Bomber, AirVenture will showcase four of these historic planes in honor of the brave young men and women who served our country

in World War II.  Less than 15 of these majestic aircraft are currently flying today.

 

Over 35 DC-3/C-47’s are expected to arrive for a 75th anniversary celebration. The event is being organized under the theme "The Last Time..." as it likely will be the final time that more than 25 of these airplanes will be seen together, including formation flights.  A mass arrival of 50 Piper Cherokee aircraft will also kick off a golden 50th anniversary event. The four-place, low-wing airplane has been a staple at general aviation airports since its introduction in 1960.

Second-generation air show standouts Matt Younkin and Kyle Franklin will be appearing at AirVenture, along with yearly favorites such as Chuck Aaron's Red Bull aerobatic helicopter, the AeroShell Aerobatic Team, and The Collaborators featuring Sean D. Tucker. Spectacular Warbirds demonstrations are offered throughout the week, as well as the opportunity to see hundreds of homebuilt aircraft from around the world.

 

Hundreds of aviation enthusiasts from Australia and New Zealand will be making a joint pilgrimage, landing in a 747 jetliner at AirVenture. The Oshkosh Express charter flights from "Down Under" first took place more than 20 years ago, but the 2010 charter is the first in a 747 since 1998

 

Make a day of it or camp for the week and enjoy the sights and sounds of aviation that have made EAA AirVenture Oshkosh a worldwide treasure right here in the Upper Midwest’s backyard!  For more information, visit www.airventure.org.

EAA’s Pioneer Airport Opens
Saturday, May 1, 2009


            Enjoy spring with a family trip to EAA AirVenture Museum and Pioneer Airport located in Oshkosh, just east of US 41 and State Road 44, at 3000 Poberezny Road. The new flying season opens Saturday, May 1 at Pioneer Airport, with vintage aircraft activities, plus Young Eagles flights. During the summer months (May-October), a short tram ride from the museum takes you to Pioneer Airport, our unique “living history” re-creation of what airports were like during the early days of air travel.

 

More than 50 vintage airplanes are displayed in seven period hangers designed to take you back to aviation’s “Golden Age” of the 1920s and 30s, a time when the magic of flying astounded and charmed the whole world. Fascinating displays include a tribute to the legendary local air racer, designer, and builder Steve Wittman, namesake of Oshkosh’s Wittman Regional Airport. Younger visitors will enjoy a play area with swings and pedal planes. For kids aged between 8 and 17, a free Young Eagles airplane flight may be available.

 

            Most important of all, Pioneer Airport is a place to savor the sights and sounds of vintage flying machines in their “natural habitat.” Flights take place from Pioneer Airport’s grass runway every day during the season when weather permits. You may also see demonstration flights from planes such as EAA’s replica of Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis and the stunning Pitcairn Mailwing biplane once flown by Howard Hughes. Depending on availability and flying conditions, you may want to experience a memorable jaunt in one of several vintage aircraft:

 

  • 1929 Travel Air E-4000, a classic open-cockpit biplane. Seats 1 passenger, $70. (Must be 16 years of age to ride.)
  • 1927 Swallow, a unique and newly restored bi-plane is a dream flight. Seats one passenger, $70. (Must be 16 years of age to ride.)

            Pioneer Airport is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from the first weekend in May through October. Open daily Memorial Day to Labor Monday-Saturday 8:30am to 5:00pm,Sunday 10:00am to 5:00pm. Pioneer Airport is closed for flights during the annual EAA AirVenture convention, but the hangars are open for aircraft viewing.

November 6:

The Fox Valley Symphony Announces 2010-2011 Concert Season

 

November 6, 2010

Faye Seeman, Harp

            Mozart                                     Overture to The Impresario

            Gustavo Leone                        Como un Sueño, for harp and orchestra

            Mendelssohn                           Symphony No. 5, “Reformation Symphony”

 

This concert has the broadest variety of characters and content in the 10-11 season. It begins with a light, energetic appetizer, moves to a dreamy Latin-infused first course and then a substantial, profound entree. It was created to satisfy the widest variety of musical tastes. Mozart’s famous overture from the opera The Impresario sparkles with wit and humor while Como un Sueño, (As in a Dream) has been described as radiantly beautiful, fresh and arresting. Mendelssohn’s “Reformation Symphony” is so called because it contains a fantasia on Martin Luther’s hymn “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” and alludes to other Lutheran themes throughout. Participation in music, as inspired by the Protestant Reformation, has had a profound effect on communities across America. Without a doubt, the Fox Valley Symphony was created as part of these traditions, and we thank our community with this performance.

Oshkosh Area Humane Society

OAHS is urging the community to become Foster Care providers for animals or adopting families

The Oshkosh Area Humane Society is a Life Saving Shelter.  “No animal will be euthanized for space”.  OAHS cannot accomplish this mission with out the support of the community.  Ordinary people are doing extraordinary things; opening their hearts and homes to cats and kittens in need of temporary housing, saving lives.  Plain and simple; the need for feline foster homes is urgent!

The first step in becoming a foster home is to attend our Intro to Foster Care Class, the 2nd Thursday of every month at the shelter from 6-7pm.

Your generosity with your time, home and love will save lives.
