Arlington is also cancelled this year. Not as big as Oshkosh, but a lot closer for those of us on the west side of the country.

Re: Airventure Cancelled for 2020

No surprise. I had cancelled my plans to attend before the event was cancelled. Gathering with tens of thousands of international visitors in close quarters isn't something I'm ready for yet. I don't have much faith in a vaccine being available anytime soon, and am not sure how effective one will be. I know the flu vaccine has to change every year to address genetic changes in the flu virus itself. I would imagine the Coronavirus will behave similarly. I'm more interested in effective treatment becoming available and some early diagnostic tests that could support treatment before a person's condition is critical. I'm in a double at-risk population, so am more cautious than many. others. Solo airplane camping is likely to be my outlet this year.
