Fun and Affordable Flying Returning to AirVenture

May 9, 2019 - For the second year in a row, the Vintage Aircraft Association will be showcasing Fun and Affordable aircraft at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019. Pegged as everyday flyers in the $15,000 to $40,000 price range, the fun and affordable subset of airplanes are perfect machines to fly to local pancake breakfasts, or even to take cross-country to your favorite fly-in.

Most 65- to 90-hp vintage airplanes fit the bill, along with some other vintage staples like the Cessna 170, Piper Pacer, and Stinson 108 — all of which also double as great family airplanes. The relatively low purchase price and operational costs make the group a favorite among their owners.

Cessna 120 and 140
