Early air show performer confirmations for EAA AirVenture 2010

TOP AIR SHOW PERFORMERS MAKE EARLY CONFIRMATIONS FOR EAA AIRVENTURE
OSHKOSH 2009
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. - (Jan. 8, 2010) - Many of
the world's top air show performers have already given early
confirmations to participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010, "The
World's Greatest Aviation Celebration," on July 26-August 1 at Wittman
Regional Airport.
Second-generation air show standouts Matt Younkin and Kyle
Franklin will be appearing at AirVenture 2010. Yearly favorites such as
Chuck Aaron's Red Bull aerobatic helicopter, the AeroShell Aerobatic
Team, The Collaborators featuring Sean D. Tucker, and the Warbird
Spectaculars will be part of the schedule as well.
"Each of these performers work as a headline act at air shows
throughout the country, but they come together at EAA AirVenture to make
an all-star roster of the 'best of the best,'" said Tom Poberezny, EAA
president and AirVenture chairman, who flew as a member of the renowned
Eagles Aerobatic Team and last year was named to the International
Council of Air Shows Hall of Fame. "Air show performers are eager to
fly at Oshkosh because it represents a major achievement in their
careers, flying in front of the most knowledgeable and appreciative
audiences on the air show circuit. Look for even more top performers to
be added to the list in early 2010."
The afternoon air show is an anticipated spectacle each day at
EAA AirVenture, providing an exciting way to round out to a full day on
the Oshkosh flight line. In 2010, the best elements of the daily air
show and the "showcase" flying from previous years will again be
combined to provide several hours of exciting and entertaining aerial
entertainment.
Exact daily performance schedules will be finalized in the weeks
prior to EAA AirVenture and will be announced through the event's
extensive website at www.airventure.org.
"Each afternoon's showcase and air show create a daily
attraction that simply cannot be seen anywhere else but EAA AirVenture,"
Poberezny said. "Oshkosh is the place where the airplanes, people and
innovations come together each year in aviation's family reunion."
