EAA AirVenture 2024

Upgrade Your Recreational Flying Adventures

Are you tired of the same old $100 hamburger run? Speak with an ambassador for the Recreational Aviation Foundation at the Redbird booth to learn more about how to find and prepare for recreational and backcountry trips in your area. And be sure to try your hand at an approach into Ryan Field (2MT1) on the custom Redbird MX2!

Start Your Flight Training in the Redbird Touch 'n Go Academy

Kickstart your Private Pilot or Instrument Rating with free flight training at the Redbird Touch 'n Go Academy (located in the EAA Learn To Fly Center). Each session includes ground and simulator training delivered by FAA-certified flight instructors.

Learn the Fundamentals in the CTE Sim Lab

Take simulator-centric career and technical education (CTE) classes on aerodynamics, navigation, weather — a week's worth of engaging aviation topics. The sim lab is open to middle and high school students, grades 6-12.

Registration for each day's classes will take place every morning at the Redbird booth.
