5月1日,临云行小编获悉,美国EAA飞来者大会(EAA AirVenture Oshkosh)组织者美国实验飞机协会(EAA)发布官方声明,由于新冠病毒疫情大规模爆发造成的不确定性,原定于7月20日至26日举办的EAA AirVenture 2020正式取消。2021年的EAA飞来者大会(EAA AirVenture)将于7月26日至8月1日举办。

当地时间4月30日,美国实验飞机协会(EAA)在奥什科什举行会议,同时宣布今年大会取消。EAA首席执行官兼董事会主席杰克·佩尔顿(Jack J. Pelton)说:“在过去六周里,我们考虑了各种可能性,以确定今年EAA将如何推进大会的举办,因为这对航空界来说是一次十分重要的活动。”

杰克·佩尔顿(Jack J. Pelton)表示,由于不确定该州的哪些地区将开放,难以为定于今年7月20日至26日举行的大会提前做准备。“威斯康星州目前的状态是,在5月26日之前,我们都只能呆在家里,这完全消除了我们从5月1日开始进行地面准备的能力。威斯康星州的重新开放也没有具体日期,这给7月份的大规模集会带来了不确定性。最后,为保护所有与会者的健康和安全,顾及各地不同的防疫指导方针,以及达到高标准的EAA赛事举办的重要承诺,取消大会是目前唯一的选择。”
该协会表示,所有预售的2020年门票或已预约露营的人,都可延期至2021年,或要求退款。受疫情影响,EAA航空博物馆上月已宣布暂时闭馆,所有的福特Tri-Motor飞机,B-17飞机和B-25飞机的飞行体验活动暂停。

据临云行小编了解,EAA飞来者大会(EAA AirVenture )是美国本土航空爱好者自发的、群众性的飞行大会,同时也是世界上规模最大、最多元化和最激动人心的通用航空盛会。每年7月底,来自全球各地的航空爱好者齐聚威斯康星州的奥什科什小镇,参加为期一周的飞行盛会。大会期间,活动参加者不仅可以看到上万架大小各异的飞机,免费参与每日不重样的论坛发布会或课程,与航空界的灵魂人物们面对面,还可与来自世界各地的爱好者分享一线飞行经验,了解最前沿的行业动态。近年来,已有一大批中国企业或个人远赴美国,参与这个私人飞机界的视觉大会和感受这里浓厚的航空文化氛围。

附官方通知:
Message from EAA CEO/Chairman Jack Pelton
We Don’t Gamble, We Need A Sure Thing AirVenture 2020 is officially canceled
My fellow EAA’rs. It is May here in Wisconsin, and unfortunately like many of you across the country, we are still under a stay at home order through May 26. Normally, this is the month when we start our preflight planning for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. By this time, we should have begun ramping up our entire site in preparation for our July convention. Volunteers from across the country and world would have descended on Oshkosh. Together they would have formed work parties, our suppliers would begin start setting up tents and infrastructure. Our EAA staff would be printing wrist bands, campers guides, programs and an assortment of EAA collateral as full-on AirVenture execution begins.
But because of circumstances beyond our control, none of this can happen now. We cannot even get to the hangar so our preflight is left to watching the prog charts. While this certainly makes the ability to prepare for the event a scheduling problem, it does not preclude the bigger issue of predicting what will be the health guidelines in July.
Right now, there are three phases that have been defined in Wisconsin as the recommended procedures. As I write this, we are not in Phase 1 yet. Phase 2 restricts gatherings to 50 people. Phase 3 allows for mass gathering with restrictions.
Our convention attracts EAA members not only from the U.S. but around the world. Today we cannot predict when we will be at a point that our event meets the all clear Phase 3 milestone for mass gathering with restrictions. As your leader, I see no clear path to meet our own requirements to insure the health and safety expectations our organization demands for our employees, members, volunteers, exhibitors and attendees. That includes sanitization, separation and personal protection requirements.
My conclusion is, like in any good flight planning, don’t take the risk. Therefore, I have no choice but to cancel AirVenture 2020. Together, we can come back stronger, safer and ready for AirVenture 2021 and create a memorable world class aviation event.
Because of our dedicated and enthusiastic EAA members, our Association is strong. We know that at some point this storm will pass. And over the next 12 months we will continue to support all of you as we again, together, grow EAA in the Spirit of Aviation.
Respectfully,
Jack J. Pelton
Experimental Aircraft Association CEO and Chairman of the Board
