SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, California USA — Shadow Composites, Inc. is pleased to announce that we will be participating in the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) annual show, AirVenture Oshkosh 2000, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, from July 26 to August 1.
In cooperation with PTM&W Aeropoxy, Shadow Composites Inc. will be exhibiting the amazing all carbon fiber Raven and other products at the Aeropoxy display. Aeropoxy is the #1 epoxy system used in homebuilt aircraft and hand lamination aerospace applications, and as Aeropoxy's newest distributor, Shadow Composites is proud to add our products to the display.

What Is EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2000? If you want to enjoy a typical day at the Convention, get your walking shoes on and dress casual.
The gates open at 8 a.m., but you better get there earlier - you can't see it all in one day. As you arrive, the number of people, size of the site and the rows and rows of magnificent aircraft are simply overwhelming. If you were to walk past - not down - each row of airplanes, you would cover 5.2 miles! Typically about 2,800 show aircraft participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, including homebuilts, antiques, classics, warbirds, ultralights and rotorcraft.
The first thing to look at is airplanes on the flightline. As an introductory EAA member, you may inspect firsthand the craftsmanship and design advancements that come from the hands and minds of EAA members. If you're interested in a particular airplane chances are you'll find it in Oshkosh. As you walk along the flightline you'll see many of the newsmakers and personalities who make the world of aviation so exciting.
Traveling across Aeroshell Square, AirVenture's main display ramp, you might see anything from the Spirit of St. Louis to a Stealth fighter. The supersonic transport Concorde makes frequent visits to Oshkosh, along with state-of-the-art examples of today's top military hardware.
The EAA Chapter House introduces you to over 1000 Local Chapters worldwide. There's bound to be one in your area - if not, they'll help you start one. Chapters provide the opportunity to meet people who have the same aviation interests that you have. It's a great way to whet your aviation appetite.
Then comes one of the most eagerly-anticipated highlights of the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh - the Afternoon Air Show. It starts off with showcase flying. Many unique aircraft, from early air racers to historical airplanes, participate. That's followed by the finest air show you will see anywhere. Top performers such as Sean Tucker, Patty Wagstaff, the Harrier and others take part in a nearly three-hour spectacular - the sun is setting, but the action is just beginning. Now it's time to visit the Theater in the Woods. Each night over 4,000 people enjoy superb aviation programs and entertainment. Typical programs may feature NASA astronauts, top test pilots and world-famous aviation personalities.
EAA AirVenture is a 24-hour event. And after a few hours of sound sleep it starts all over again. Yes, it's been a great day at Oshkosh - sharing the fun of flying.
PTM&W Aeropoxy and Shadow Composites - setting new horizons for high power rocketry!
