Dear EAA AirVenture Exhibitor,
For seven days each summer, the aviation community focuses
on EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The event is a testament to the
profound passion and diverse interests of aviation enthusiasts
from around the world—and the ways in which AirVenture
Oshkosh encompasses them all.
The event is significant for the companies who serve a
broad spectrum of the aviation community. It enables EAA’s
commercial partners to have an unmatched forum to present
their innovative products and services to the most dedicated
community of aviation consumers.
To continue as a world-class aviation event, EAA has been
focusing on AirVenture improvements. You will see significant changes at AirVenture 2009. Upgraded
outdoor exhibit space will be evident, and expanded by nearly 50 percent.
Improvements to the exhibitor areas are being made based upon your input as well as that of our members
and guests. We want your AirVenture investment to be as rewarding as possible. The reconfiguration of
the grounds will create significantly more prime exhibit space along main thoroughfares, improving lines
of sight and simplifying navigation. The commercial exhibits are rated highly each year—so an enjoyable
experience means attendees stay longer, purchase more, and keep coming back. This translates to more
traffic and business for you.
Other improvements you will see at EAA AirVenture 2009 will be upgraded shower facilities, more shaded
rest areas, better transportation, campsite improvements, plus additional amenities—all to make the
AirVenture experience as enjoyable as possible.
For the first time, we are presenting the opportunity to lock-in your exhibit space for future years through a
multi-year agreement. This year’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh exhibitor’s guide will provide you with all the
information needed to continue—or begin—your partnership with EAA.
I look forward to seeing you in Oshkosh, July 27th through August 2nd, 2009.
Sincerely,
Tom Poberezny
President, EAA

EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH—
THE WORLD’S GREATEST AVIATION CELEBRATION
In late July, the town of Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
begins to grow exponentially as hundreds of
thousands of aviation enthusiasts from around
the world converge on EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh—EAA’s annual convention
and fly-in—has become the largest general aviation
gathering in the world thanks to the passion of EAA
members. Their devotion, spirit, and high standards
have created an environment that attracts everyone from
aviation luminaries to those just curious about airplanes.
Once here, attendees take in the daily air show, 10,000
aircraft, more than 500 forums and workshops and, most
importantly, the spirit of aviation that EAA is committed to
carrying on.
Because EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has gained a welldeserved
reputation as the launching pad for aviation
innovations, AirVenture Oshkosh is also where these same
enthusiasts come to visit with exhibitors and scout out their
next big purchase. Oshkosh has also become known as
aviation’s largest shopping mall.
It’s at Oshkosh where aviators learn what’s new and
exciting in the aviation field. It’s where new products and
innovations are unveiled before a knowledgeable—and
eager—audience. It’s where successful partnerships are
formed and where customers are born.
With an on-site audience of more than 540,000 in
2008, and an estimated 37,000 campers on site for the
seven-day event, companies have endless opportunities
to capture their attention. AND they can reach this select
audience—the most qualified fliers and buyers in general
aviation—when they’re most excited about flying.
This makes partnering with EAA the ultimate opportunity
to enhance your company’s identity while supporting the
spirit of aviation that AirVenture Oshkosh represents.

EAA CARRIES ON THE SPIRIT Of AIRV ENTURE
A LL YEAR LONG
The passion, diversity, participation, and fun you find for seven days at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is exactly
what you find within the community of EAA members all year long.
EAAers have formed nearly 1,000 chapters worldwide to share, support, and enhance their love of flying
and building airplanes. And together they participate in more than 15,000 local and regional flying events.
Members also work to share the spirit of aviation with the next generation of pilots, engineers, and
designers by supporting EAA’s youth education programs. These include the new EAA student membership,
AeroScholars, Air Academy, and the Young Eagles program. Since 1992, the Young Eagles program has
impacted the lives of more than 1.4 million young people. Each of EAA’s youth education programs inspires
the sense of wonder and possibility that will develop the innovators and aviators of tomorrow.
To preserve aviation’s past—which has inspired mankind for more than a century—the EAA AirVenture
Museum was constructed with the help and donations of EAA members. To help others appreciate the
legendary aircraft of bygone eras, EAA chapters host annual tours of its B-17 and ford Tri-Motor in more
than 55 cities.
Over the coming years, it is EAA’s goal—with support
from our partners—to improve access to the association’s
rich archival material and resources via the Internet.
By facilitating the sharing of members’ knowledge,
experience, and passion, we can enhance the innovation
and participation that takes place among this community
of aviation enthusiasts.
Working together, EAA nurtures the environment in
which people share the fun and camaraderie of flying.
This environment is supported through the generosity of
members, donors, volunteers, and corporate partners.
Becoming part of this community is an opportunity for
your company to be part of something you believe in,
support the future of aviation, and connect with the
most passionate community of aviation enthusiasts
all year long.
EAA—where the spirit of aviation takes flight!

EXHIBITOR SPACE
NEW – MULTI-YEAR APPLICATIONS
Guarantee your space for two – five years!
EAA is now allowing companies to sign a multi-year application.
The multi-year application can be for the duration of two – five
years. The multi-year application will not only ensure EAA of your
commitment but will also allow exhibiting companies to retain
the same location for the duration of the multi-year application.
If your company signs a multi-year application and cancels
their participation, there will be no guarantee that the spot they
reserved will be there for them in the future. When signing a multiyear
application your company is still subject to rate adjustments
each year, and changes to rules and regulations. For the first year
EAA will require each company to fill out an exhibitor application
and mark your choice for the multi-year agreement. Each year to
follow EAA will send the Exhibitor’s Guide with a form for your
company to sign, acknowledging your intention to participate in
that year’s show and an invoice for your exhibit space(s).

record run for nemesis nXT
Arizona family’s project
named 30,000th homebuilt
By
Randy
Bob Noll’s white and blue RV-9A started
its life as many homebuilt airplanes
do, occupying the two-car garage of his
family’s home in Yuma, Arizona. For
three years and four months, he enlisted
the patience and help of his three children
and his wife, Debbie, to complete
his dream of building a flying machine.
“I wanted to do something like this
my whole life,”
Noll said. “I can
remember when I
was a kid going out
in the backyard
measuring out
how much room I
needed to land an
airplane.”
Noll complet
ed the plane on
February 1 of this
year, made the
first flight a few days later, and ultimately
received certification for what will be
recognized as the 30,000th homebuilt
airplane in the United States.
Jon Sharp broke the 3 km speed record in the c1-b
category yesterday by flying his nemesis nXT 356
mph, smashing the current mark of 331 mph. With
winds gusting at 15 mph, the weather conditions
were less than ideal and the flight was bumpy, he
said. A national Aeronautic Association o ficial
used two recorders, one on the ground and the other
in the plane, to determine the speed. Sharp wi l try
and break his own record on Saturday prior to the
daily air show.

White Knight Two

By JAmes WynBrAndt
The day after unveiling White Knight
Two in Mojave, California, Burt Rutan
of Scaled Composites and Sir Richard
Branson and Will Whitehorn of Virgin
Galactic came to EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2008 and pledged to bring
the newly introduced launch vehicle
for SpaceShipTwo to next year’s fly-in
and, when ready, to conduct their first
commercial sub-orbital space flight from
AirVenture.
“We’re going to take it to Sweden to
fly in the aurora borealis, to the UK,
Spain, and Australia from our home
base in New Mexico. But the first place
we’re going to bring it commercially is
Oshkosh,” Rutan told a cheering over-

Burt Rutan
The Martin Jetpack made its first public flight while at EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 on Tuesday. The actual flight lasted
seconds and was confined to a few feet off the ground, with
handlers gripping the device even as 16-year-old Harrison
Martin manipulated the controls. The Martin Jetpack team is
scheduled to conclude Thursday’s air show with another flight
at the mouth of AeroShell Square. More air show flights may
take place later in the week as well.
Yesterday’s flight was certainly an AirVenture moment;
thousands of visitors crowded AeroShell Square to watch.
Long-time AirVenture observers said they believed it was the
largest crowd, aside from concerts, ever to gather for an event
on Aeroshell Square.
The crowd was so thick, and the flight was so low, that some
couldn’t quite see what happened. A man in a t-shirt that proclaimed
his status as a pilot wasn’t convinced after the flight
ended. “I can’t vouch for it. All I heard was a weed eater going
on.”
Matt Evens of Arvada, Colorado, was positively enthusiastic.
“I’d fly it; it would be fun.” He explained: “This is one of the
attractions I really wanted to see.”
Audience member Metra Peterson from Athens, Ohio, said
before the flight, “It has been my dream since I was a little kid
with Weekly Reader, and it said ‘you’re going to get to fly to
