The biggest airshow of the year is no doubt, EAA Airventure which takes place in Oshkosh, WI usually in the last week of July.\u00a0 I have been attending for the past two years and it is great fun.\u00a0 For any pilot, the trip is one you’ll never forget.\u00a0 We fly there in two days and filled up our log books with airports we’d never flown into before.\u00a0 But once you get to Oshkosh, there was an unexpected benefit we didn’t realize.<\/p>\n
Most vendors in the aviation industry know that pilots from all over the world come to Airventure and they want to interact with you.\u00a0 They put their best foot forward for this one week in July.\u00a0 Many of them publish their largest sales and discounts of the year to coincide with the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is rare that I see discounts on high end headsets like the ones with ANR (Active Noise Reduction).\u00a0 This year, Lightspeed, which sells the Zulu3 headsets, offered a 10% discount the week of Airventure.\u00a0 That’s an $85 savings off the sticker price of $850.\u00a0 In the four years I’ve been watching their prices, this is the first time I’ve seen them reduce the price.<\/p>\n
So, if you want to start saving money on your aviation journey, plan to save up and make your purchases next July when everything you want goes on sale.\u00a0 Every pilot learning to fly needs supplies such as kneeboards, headsets, headlamps and more.\u00a0 \u00a0The cost of learning to fly isn’t cheap, so why not save a few bucks where and when you can.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
