From what I see, hear and am told, the EAA do not advertise this data.
Between Oshkosh, Sun & Fun and Arlington, there are several accidents
each year. When you consider the number of aircraft flying to and from
these events, the numbers are not really out of line with national stats.

But - consider that many of those aircraft arriving are not even used to
flying in controlled airspace - and now they are controlled and landing
staggered, short and long with tremendous pressure to get it right and
clear the runway, plus given the fixed dates of the event, some are
perhaps flying when under different circumstances they would have
awaited better conditions - I really don't think that their accident
stats are out of line.

Still sad though - we all want to see a safe event.

Has anyone done research into the annual number of accidents and fatalities
afflicting pilots flying to or from Oshkosh? During the past few years that
I've been lurking around here, it seems there's one or more every year. The
next question is why?

I haven't seen much discussion around here about this, but Geoff Peck
was killed in a plane crash on his way home from Oshkosh this year.
We all owe him our thanks - Geoff was the founder of the rec. aviation
groups.

Condolences to his family and friends
