BIG NEWS--AIRBUS 380 IS COMING
TO OSHKOSH 2009

The Experimental Aircraft Association holds its annual EAA AirVenture Oshkosh air show in an effort to engage people in aviation and help raise awareness. The Wisconsin show, to be held July 27 to Aug. 2, drew about 540,000 last year and is considered the world's largest general aviation event. The Wichita Eagle (Kan.) (6/5)
For general aviation, Paris not the only show in town: General aviation companies will be scarcer than usual at the venerable Paris Air Show, but AviationWeek blogger Fred George says that's not simply a result of the economic climate. The Paris event, now in its 100th year, appeals to the entire aviation spectrum, resulting in huge traffic jams and throngs of gawkers. Besides the inconvenience for visitors, there is also the issue of cost to exhibitors, which can run upwards of a $1 million for companies coming from outside Europe.
