Sports Aviation, September 2025, pp 44-52.

 

As this year's tagline promised, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 was one week with endless possibilities. We celebrated 100 years of Goodyear blimps, Fairchild Aircraft, and Travel Air. We honored the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II, commemorated the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War, and looked at the innovations that sprang forth in between. We braved a couple of downpours, heralded the arrival of MOSAIC, and reveled in the homebuilts, warbirds, vintage aircraft, aerobatic airplanes, ultralights, and some surprise new types that all came together for aviation's family reunion.

Our photographers shot thousands and thousands of images during the convention-here's a look at just a few of our favorites so far.
