EAA AirVenture Oshkosh · 2026
Heading to AirVenture?
Come say hi!
An evening of high-flying hospitality for the volunteer pilot community. In support of Advancing Charitable Aviation (ACA), and proudly sponsored by Tropiq and Pilatus.
An evening with the volunteer pilot community
Beer, wine, and cold refreshments. Come connect with fellow aviators, celebrate the mission of charitable aviation, and toast to a good cause — sponsored by Tropiq and Pilatus.
Why we're sponsoring
General aviation's quiet superpower: getting people where they need to be
Across the country, volunteer pilots donate their aircraft, fuel, and time to fly patients to distant treatment, reunite wounded veterans with their families, and carry rescue animals to safety — all at no cost to the people who need it. Tropiq and Pilatus are proud to host Volunteer Pilot Cocktails and to help more pilots discover how they can get involved.
