OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The aircraft and personnel of the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command will be among the highlighted programs at EAA AirVenture this summer.
The event, which was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, is set for July 26-August 1 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.
“Even those who have a solid familiarity with the U.S. Air Force often know little about its special operations units and the important mission they fulfill, so we want to bring some visibility to that at Oshkosh in 2021,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programming, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “The Air Force has been extremely cooperative through the years at showcasing its remarkable people and aircraft at AirVenture, and we look forward to discovering even more in 2021.”
Final announcements on participating aircraft and activities has not been released, but are expected to include aircraft flying during AirVenture air shows and presentations by USAF Special Operations units throughout the week.
