What also debuted this year at EAA AirVenture 2009 are flush toilets. Three of the public refurbished showers in Camp Scholler have flushable toilets and one of the public refurbished shower in the aircraft camping area (North 40) have flushable toilets.. Their are even flush toilets in AirVenture grounds located next to the Forums Plaza; between the large exhibit buildings; and next to Theater in the Woods. EAA still have Port-a-Potties for use.

I really like the new site improvement in having flushable toilets. I heard that EAA AirVenture was going to have flush toilets I just had to try one!

EAA workers and volunteers helped build the Vintage Hangar so that it could debut at EAA AirVenture 2009. The Vintage Hangar opens with 40 feet sliding door panels. It has concrete floors (7,000 square feet) on the inside of the hangar. The new Vintage Hangar is a club/workshop type hangar. If your airplane classifies as a vintage aircraft this is the place to go.

This is my first time I step foot in the new Vintage Hangar at EAA AirVenture 2009. Once I heard that EAA was making a Vintage Hangar for clubs/workshops I had to take a look

On Sunday, July 26, 2009 EAA President Tom Poberezny held a ceremony of the new main gate that debuted at EAA AirVenture 2009. The gate features two Pratt and Whitney 1830 (B-17) engine-and-propeller sculptures. What a beautiful site you see when you walk into EAA AirVenture. Tom Poberezny dedicated the main gate to the four Ps "Planes, people, passion, and participation." If you walk straight from the main gate you walk into Aeroshell Square; if you walk to the left which is northeast you go to the forum buildings; and if you walk to the right which is southeast you walk into the new relocated fly market, and if you continue further on you go to Theater in the Woods, and if you walk even further on you go to the Vintage area.
