EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2022
The F-100 is such a strong addition that I'm now really tempted to travel over from the UK for the show.
I'd have to be back in the UK for the Saturday annoyingly though, but would you Oshkosh regulars expect a highlight like the F-100 to fly numerous times during the week? Is there also access to the airfield on the Sunday (24th this year) for arrivals?

And typically the Show grounds are open on the Sunday before the official Monday opening.

It's really tough to say what days it might fly unfortunately. I would not be shocked if it is only a Friday-Saturday type of thing as most of the 'main attractions' tend to be. The only photos I have of it in 2015 are from Friday and Saturday, though I may have been filming if it flew earlier in the week.DeanW wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 12:28 pm The F-100 is such a strong addition that I'm now really tempted to travel over from the UK for the show.

The airfield is open on the first Saturday and Sunday for arrivals. In fact, they charge admission on Sunday (unless you have a weekly band) but with no airshow it is pretty laid back.

Per EAA CEO Jack Pelton in recent video:
“The USAF has committed to two civilian shows where they’re gonna go all out and have many, many aircraft from the USAF inventory, and Airventure is one of them.”
