AirVenture is not just about airplanes
The annual EAA air show is like a big family reunion—a place where people come to belong, including those with disabilities.
I have gone to EAA AirVenture almost every year since 2009. My very first time I remember standing near the flight line watching the 100 Beechcraft Bonanzas come flying in. I remember landing on the taxiway feeling like something wasn’t quite right because we were not on the runway. I remember being swarmed by the media as soon as I stepped out of the Ercoupe. That was my introduction to this special community in aviation. I found a family that shared my passion.
