Jet aircraft committed to AirVenture include the P-80, F-84, MiG 15, MiG 17, and F-86 Sabre. This year also marks the 85th anniversary of the Corsair, the 80th anniversary of the A-1 Skyraider, and the 75th anniversary of the MiG 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While elements of these displays will be present throughout AirVenture week, a primary focus will be Wednesday through Friday, July 23-25, that will include air show performances by a variety of these aircraft. In addition, evening programming at EAA\u2019s Theater in the Woods and Fly-In Theater are in development that will correspond to the commemoration of the Korean War\u2019s 75th anniversary. More details on those programs will be announced as they are finalized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aviation innovation and technology of the Korean War era, which in this year marks 75 years since its beginning, will be highlighted at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025.
