Airliners International 2005 will be the 29th Annual gathering of airline enthusiasts from around the world. Every year there are regional airline shows (usually on a saturday or sunday) in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. These shows are usually in the same location every year. Since 1977 (in Cincinnati), Airliners International has been held each summer at a different location in the USA or Canada. Rather than just a one-day event, Airliners International is a weeklong event, with a tradeshow, tours, slide shows, model and photo contests, and more. Most shows average 1100+ attendees from around the world. Although some cities have held Airliners International more than once, it usually is in a different city each time. AI 2005 will be the first time Milwaukee will be the host city. Airliners International sites are chosen two years in advance; Milwaukee was awarded AI 2005 at AI 2003 in Columbus. Airliners International 2007's site will be chosen at AI 2005, on Friday, July 22, 2005.
