"As we aim to highlight a specific Air Force command every year at Oshkosh, the incredible work of Pacific Air Forces’ mission is more critical than ever, and its strategic location makes it the center of gravity for security in the Indo-Pacific. This command will add a distinct highlight to the activities at AirVenture 2026, as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary."
