EAA

Happy Veterans Day! Today, all of us at EAA proudly recognize and honor those who have served and sacrificed for our nation. These moments from the Yellow Ribbon Honor Flight remind us of the remarkable men and women behind that service. To our veterans, thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice. 📸 Tom Crockett & Jaime Cordova #Aviation #Avgeeks #HappyVeteransDay

For more than 15 years, Scott VanderVeen has helped EAA builders unlock the world of composite construction. As owner of Pro-Composites, Inc., and an EAA SportAir Workshops instructor since 2009, he's passionate about showing students that fiberglass and composites are far less intimidating than they may seem. As one of the instructors for the Composite Construction Workshop, Scott provides a hands-on experience building a composite sandwich panel, hot-wire cutting and shaping a canard airfoil, laminate bonding, molding parts, wet lay-up, vacuum bagging, and even making modifications and repairs. Attendees walk away with the confidence to apply these skills to their projects. 🎥 Hear from Scott in this video, then join him at a SportAir Composites workshop and discover a whole new side of aircraft building. The next workshop will be held in Oshkosh. View details here: discover.eaa.org/4PTN5105qUJ #EAASportAir #AircraftBuilding #Composites #HomebuiltAircraft #EAAOshkosh #LearnToBuild

Happy 251st birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps! 🫡 This impressive flight formation during Project Legacy 2025 features three F/A-18C/D Hornets, three F-35 Lightning IIs, and a KC-130J Super Hercules from Marine Aircraft Group 11. MAG-11 dates back to some defining chapters of Marine aviation, including the Battle for Guadalcanal during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and the War on Terror. The group flew more than 4,000 combat sorties without loss of life or aircraft. Thank you to the generations of Marines who have defended our nation by air, land, and sea.

Check out the highlights from the MAX POWER air show put on at @NASAKennedy this past weekend. This two-day event was a way to celebrate the past, present, and future of flight and space exploration, and coincided with America’s 250th birthday. The air show featured the @AFThunderbirds, among other military demo teams, and the NASA America 250 F-5 team. Of course, the show wouldn’t be complete without EAA Lifetime member and @NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman doing a solo performance in his MiG-29! 📸 Mike Steineke #aviation #planespotting #avgeek #MaxPower #NASA

For Chad Grenier, owning and flying a P-51 Mustang felt like a far-fetched dream. ScaleWings brought that dream 72 percent closer to reality. Chad’s SW-51, Double Trouble, captures the looks, feel, and performance he admired in the Mustang, helping scratch an itch many of us know all too well.

Sometimes the variant becomes the favorite. 👀 That was certainly the case for the Highlander. Developed from the Escapade, it quickly gained a dedicated following. By 2013, Just Aircraft reported that the Highlander was outselling the Escapade 10 to 1! 📸 Connor Madison #Aviation #Avgeeks #AviationLovers #Aviation4u

Green, white, and looking nice! Dennis Ozment’s Cessna 150H took more than 1,000 hours to restore, with careful attention paid to keeping it as original as possible. The hard work paid off with a Gold Lindy at Oshkosh in 2019, just two years after Dennis took home his first with a Cessna 172. 📸 Christina Marsh #Aviation #Avgeeks #Oshkosh #PilotGoals

📹 Watch: When Joe Tobul purchased an F4U-4 Corsair project in 1981, neither he nor his son, Jim, likely had any idea the number of connections the airplane would create for them. If you've attended AirVenture Oshkosh or another air show in the last 10-15 years, there’s a high probability you've seen Jim’s spirited solo display in the Corsair or his dual act paired with Scott Yoak in the P-51 Mustang in which they are known as the Class of ’45. 🤘 #warbirds #OSH26 #Oshkosh #corsair #wwii #AirVenture
