The final numbers are in after the annual week long EAA Airventure event in Oshkosh.
According to the 2016 report, approximately 563,000 people attended the fly-in, an increase of nearly one percent over 2015. “Our attendance was particularly outstanding, since we had some weather challenges mid-week compared to seven perfect days in 2015," EAA Chairman Jack Pelton explained. "Our grounds crew and our volunteers, who number more than 5,000, did a superb job keeping the site ready for visitors and campers who arrived by ground or by air.”
More than 10,000 aircraft arrived at Wittman Regional Airport during the event.
