July 25 - July 31, 2005

EAA Oshkosh

EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH is the world's largest sport aviation event, annually drawing more than 800,000 people and 14,000 airplanes to Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  As usual, Zenith Aircraft Company is displaying its line of kit aircraft at the week-long convention.  Company staff will be on hand to answer questions and show the aircraft, and designer Chris Heintz will be at the Zenith Aircraft display the first half of the week. 

Once again, we're located in the North Aircraft Display area (booths #424, 425, 430 & 431). 

Zenair™ Builders Dinner: Thursday, July 28, 2005: 6:00 - 8:00 pm. 
Robbins Restaurant
, 1810 Omro Road (Hwy 21), Oshkosh, WI.   RSVP at the Zenith booth.  Click here for driving directions.  (buffet dinner; approx. $16.00 pp.)

Builder Gatherings:
New for this year at Oshkosh are two scheduled Builder Gathering events. The informal gatherings are being held on:

  • Tuesday, July 26th from 4pm to 5pm
  • Saturday, July 30th from 4pm to 5pm 

This is your time to have the Zenith Booth (tent hangar) as a builders' meeting arena; a time to have the Zenith crew all to yourselves and ask technical questions with the appropriate aircraft at hand; a chance to have your picture taken with Chris Heintz on the Tuesday, and a great place to meet other builders and talk Zenith aircraft. This year Zenith is going to have their large "hanger tent" in the display area which will be a welcome reprieve from the sun and elements. With the ability of having a few aircraft under shade, there is ample room for the gathering.
