EAC Announces First Confirmed Speaker for 2027 Salzburg Convention
We are pleased to announce the first confirmed presentation for its highly anticipated 2027 Convention in Salzburg, Austria, setting the stage for an extraordinary look into one of the The Flying Bulls biggest operational feats.
Longstanding EAC partners and this years national partners, The Flying Bulls, will take centre stage to present an exclusive, behind-the-scenes account of their historic 2026 transatlantic crossing and landmark debut performances at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
The compelling session will pull back the curtain on the mammoth operational, logistical, and flight-planning undertaking required to safely ferry two iconic aircraft—their flagship Douglas DC-6 and the rare, twin-boom Lockheed P-38 Lightning—across the Atlantic Ocean. Delegates will gain unprecedented insights into the meticulous ocean-spanning routing, weather management, support infrastructure, and precision flight displays that brought European heritage aviation to one of the world’s largest and most famous aviation stages in the United States.
"We are absolutely delighted to welcome The Flying Bulls as our opening featured presenters for the 2027 Convention in their home city of Salzburg," said an EAC spokesperson. "Their 2026 journey to Oshkosh represents a major milestone for European display aviation. The sheer scale of what they accomplished offers invaluable, real-world lessons in safety, international logistics, and operational excellence for display organizers, aircrew, and safety officials across our entire global community."
We look forward to visitng the teams Home of Hangar 7 on the Wednesday of the convention, which will be a highlight for delegates and EAC members alike.
The EAC Convention serves as Europe's premier gathering for the airshow industry, bringing together display teams, event organizers, civil aviation authorities, and safety experts to share best practices, foster collaboration, and shape the future of air display entertainment.
