EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States. The airshow is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association, an international organization based in Oshkosh, and is the largest of its kind in the world. The show lasts a week, usually beginning on the last Monday in July. During the gathering, the airport's control tower is the busiest in the world
EAA is actively working on Capitol Hill to fight one of the most significant long-term threats to the general aviation community ever proposed. The ATC privatization proposal contained in the Aviation Innovation, Reform and Reauthorization (AIRR) Act, H.R. 2997 would be disastrous for GA.
The proposal would separate the nation’s air traffic control system from the FAA to be managed and operated by a not-for-profit corporation. The corporation would be run by a board of directors comprised of system stakeholders economically dominated by airlines and other commercial and labor interests, leaving general aviation to be marginalized over time
