AFTER PAUSING FOR THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN 2020, THE ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE TO
Oshkosh, Wisconsin, takes place July 26 through August 1, 2021. EAA AirVenture will
be welcoming visitors for the big show but with safety protocols and guidelines. AOPA
will have a presence at the show-including the display of its 2021 sweepstakes aircraft,
a Grumman Tiger-but with reduced staff and additional attention to safety protocols.
EAA has published these safety protocols for the event (check the website for updates):
* Masks will be strongly recommended if you are unable to social distance (roughly
six feet).
* Proof of COVID vaccine will not be required to attend.
* International visits are dependent on current international travel regulations and
mandates in the United States and individual countries of residence.
* Increased physical distancing will be encouraged in all areas.
* EAA is adding significant numbers of sanitizing facilities and working with industry-leading
companies for continual disinfection throughout the grounds.
* Theater in the Woods, forums pavilions, and other outdoor venues will operate with
reduced seating capacity, with social distancing opportunities on the open grounds at
those locations.
* There will be fewer exhibitors in each indoor exhibit building, creating more walkways
and separation between exhibitors. Additional venues on the grounds are being
re-purposed to accommodate indoor exhibitors that are moved this year.
* Wherever possible, ventilation will be increased in tents and indoor facilities.
* Several annual events where physical distancing is not possible will not be held this
year, including the Monday night concert; the Young Eagles, EAA Lifetime Member
and International Visitors dinners; the Runway 5K run/walk; the WomenVenture
social; the Seaplane Base Watermelon social; and large corporate events and receptions.
* High-demand forums and presentations will be scheduled more than once to accommodate
demand while allowing for distancing.
