Anyone know if they were giving out the glass mugs for showplane participants back in 2007? I have one for every year since then except for 2007, the first year I brought my plane to OSH. I would like to get one for 2007 as that was a very special year of course.

Thank you Steve. I'll try to track one down from the Airventure people.

When did they switch from the coffee cups to glass mugs?

Glass mugs have been issued to pilots registering planes at EAA since at least 2002.

Broken!

I put mine in my bag with the Lindy I won, thought I had them wrapped well but when I got home the mug was broke.
Looking to replace the mug if someone wants to sell one.

I'm not sure when they switched, but I switched from coffee to beer when my airplane was completed.

I have never seen a coffee cup. I have fourteen (14) glass mugs collected over the past 15-years. Did not make OSH the year I went to Alaska.

Anyone have a photo of any coffee cups given out to home-builders instead of glass mugs at OSH?

Since at least 1994

I received a glass mug way back in 1994 on my first fly-in to Oshkosh.
