The Vintage Aircraft Association and The International Cessna 170 Association present the 75th Anniversary Reunion Celebration of our favorite airplane, the Cessna 170! To help celebrate, VAA has arranged for a reserved group parking and camping area at AirVenture 2023 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. AirVenture 2023 runs Monday, July 24, 2023, through Sunday, July 30, 2023.

There will be space for at least 100 170s to park together, so we can meet, greet, mingle, and talk 170s all week. If you attended any of the previous 170 group camping gatherings, you know it's a great time. All together and close-in to the AirVenture action.

Many details are still to be worked out, but mark your 2023 calendars now. Plan to arrive early, because spaces in the reserved area will be for 170s exclusively only through Sunday evening, July 23, 2023. After that, EAA will begin parking other aircraft among us and you may not be able to get a spot.

Sounds like fun... unfortunately I was permanently banned from the Int 170 ASS by George and Bruce. HAHAHAHAHAHA

While I am not banded, I stopped being a paying member.
This is a Vintage Airplane Association event so EVERYONE is welcome.
Please don't let that situation (which I am very familiar with) stop you!

Don't let that stop you, Greg. There's no bouncer at the door and membership (in either organization) is not required. Show up with a 170 and you're in. Just let me know if you're planning to be there so VAA can have enough space. We're over 70 170s so far, best turnout ever and it's still February.

Do we know the logistics of getting to that parking spot in OSH yet?

I assume taxi to parking will be the same as it was the last few times we did this: We'll publish a sign for download and printing that says "Cessna 170 Group Camping", or something like that. After you land, show it to the marshals, who will direct you to the reserved area.

Hit the easy button, got it. Thanks. First time group park for me.
