If you have ever been there outside of the EAA Airventure week it is a really weird "ghost town" feeling.

Great video, I'm pumped! Flying into the "big show" is something every pilot should do at least once.

That is an excellent film thanks for sharing the link. Really captures the essence of the whole experience.

I found it interesting that during the entire 17 minute film, it was never mentioned that EAA stands for the experimental aircraft association. The emphasis seemed to be on general aviation, with not much attention to us "experimental" guys.

Maybe they are ashamed of us?

It's not about them. It's about us. Pilots. People who love aviation. Whether we build them, or buy them... we're all family.

We're too quick, I think, to define ourselves in narrow terms. If you love aviation and you understand the lure of Oshkosh, I don't care what you call yourself.

I saw Jerry Kinmans RV8 in the first few bits.
I saw my First RV6 N46RV as well...
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

The EAA may have grown out of it's name, but what should it be called? I'm not sure "A Bunch of People Having Fun in and Around Airplanes" will look good in a logo. How about we just call it the EAA, it is established and it works.

The video says it all. EAA is the spirit of General Aviation; a coming together of people and aircraft that personifies the science, mystery and wonder of flight. I am ready for this year's event.

I would be attracted to OSH no matter what they called it. I have been a member of the warbirds section and the vintage section of EAA and have an interest in a wide range of aircraft. There were lots of experimentals on the film, including RV's and canard designs.

It just seems odd that they would never define what the letters meant. It makes it seem to me that they want to distance the organization, or perhaps Airventure, from the experimental name.

I'm kind of in favor of getting rid of the whole "experimental" nomenclature anyway. It sounds like some crazed professor working on an airplane made out of flubber.
