Inspiring Aviators at EAA AirVenture 2023


The EAA AirVenture event in Oshkosh, Wis., is a celebration unlike any other! Last year, Southwest Airlines embraced the “Spirit of Aviation” by bringing one of our newest Boeing 737 MAX8 aircraft, with a special decal dedicated to our Destination 225° Program, to Oshkosh for the day.
