Last month, aviators from all over the world took to the skies to “land on the dot” at Wittman Regional Airport, Wisc. (OSH) for the 2024 Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh air show A.K.A. Oshkosh.

“Oshkosh gets bigger and better every year, and we love having the chance to be a part of it,” said Envoy Manager of Air Operations Recruitment Kipp Swannie. “Not only is this a weeklong opportunity to see some of the coolest aircraft both up close and in the sky, it’s also a full week of meeting aspiring aviators from all walks of life.”

This annual event turns the small Wisconsin airport into the busiest airport in the country seemingly overnight, with more than 10 thousand different aircraft – from single engine Cessnas to multi-engine military planes – touching down over the course of the event.

When the record 686,000 attendees weren’t looking up to the skies to watch the daily airshows, they were getting their steps in on the event grounds to see all different kinds of aircraft that came in just for the event, chatting with flight schools from across the country and networking with fellow aviation enthusiasts.

“Oshkosh is unique in that it’s not always the same crowd we see at events like the annual National Gay Pilots Association (NGPA) and Women in Aviation International (WAI) conferences, where many of those attendees already have a few flight hours logged in commercial jets,” said Kipp. “Coming here gives us an opportunity to meet the next generation of aviators and inspire them on their path to whatever realm of aviation draws them most.”

One week wasn’t enough, we’re already excited to see what next year’s air show brings to the table – here’s to Oshkosh in 2025!
