EAA AirVenture, Oshkosh, WI
July 27 - Aug. 2, 2009
This summer marked Terrafugia's fourth year as exhibitors at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. By all accounts it was our best yet. We continue to be a major draw: with overall show attendance up from last year, calm moments were few and far between around the Proof of Concept for the entire week. Thank you to all of you that came by to show your support! Appearances by the Airbus 380, Burt Rutan's WhiteKnightTwo, and the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 highlighted the week's events. Terrafugia's CEO & CTO Carl Dietrich also gave two very well-attended forums over the course of the week describing the testing program that the Proof of Concept completed this past spring.
