Stationed out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin the EAA has been one of the strongest voices in the aviation community. Whether it is commemorative displays, teaching young pilots to fly, cultivating new aircraft designs or the annual Airventure Airshow if it flies the EAA is there to help.

“EAA began with a with a simple meeting in Paul and Audry Poberezny’s home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. EAA has been headquartered in Milwaukee and Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
