What an incredible week at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026! We had a fantastic show filled with great conversations, new opportunities, and the chance to reconnect with so many longtime customers and friends while making many new connections along the way. We're excited to share that we closed on one aircraft during the show, with another sale currently pending—a great way to cap off a successful week! A sincere thank you to everyone who stopped by our display, shared stories, asked questions, and spent time with us. Events like AirVenture remind us why we love being part of the aviation community. We're already looking forward to next year. Until then, blue skies and safe flying!
