AirVenture experienced exceptionally high attendance, with spectator areas crowded and aircraft parking reaching capacity early in the event.
The show featured a diverse array of aircraft, from iconic warbirds like the B-29 and B-25 to modern military jets such as the B-1 and F-35, alongside ultralights and unique experimental designs.
Attendees enjoyed numerous dynamic air show performances, including rare formations (like two B-29s flying together for the first time in 50 years), aerobatics, and demonstrations by renowned pilots and teams.
