AirVenture Museum
The EAA AirVenture Museum is a museum dedicated to the preservation and display of historical and experimental aircraft located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin adjacent to the Wittman Regional Airport. Paul Poberezny proposed the idea of the EAA Air Museum-Air Education center in August 1958. The current updated museum and headquarters was built in 1982, opening in 1983. The museum's collection displays over one hundred and fifty planes. The AirVenture Museum is a key tourist attraction in Oshkosh and is a center of activity throughout the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh event each summer.
The museum is open all year round with the exception of a few holidays. The
museum contains a variety of planes purchased with visitor donations. Some of
their airplanes include the Church Midwing, Funk B, and Monnett Moni. One of the
museum's most popular planes is the Swallow OX-5. The Swallow OX-5 was designed
for warfare and was built by Matty Laird. The plane, retired after eighty years
of service, is used to provide rides to people coming to the museum. Visitors
who have taken the plane ride offered by the museum can receive an EAA Eagle
Flight Certificate and become a member of the World's Largest Logbook located in
the museum
