AIRSHOWS

EAA Oshkosh 2024

Oshkosh, USA, July 22-28

​

Rotec Aerosport celebrated its 25th year at EAA Oshkosh. Here are some of the many highlights:
 

  • Mark Borgerson’s R3600-powered Hatz Classic was on display with us throughout the week, and it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the event. Mark’s stunning Hatz biplane perfectly showcased everything that makes our R3600 radial engine exceptional.
     

  • It was fantastic catching up with hundreds of past and present customers, and I truly enjoyed hearing about the progress of your projects.
     

  • Rotec had a record-breaking year in both sales and orders! Most of our stock was sold at the show, and by the end of the week, we didn’t have a single TBI left.
     

  • A huge thank you once again to Corrie and Walter from Accu-Tech! They run a local machine shop that takes care of our needs and stores our equipment before and after the show. Without their support, I don’t think Rotec could pull it off each year. 
    Thank you, Corrie and Walter!
