Howdy!
Welcome to the official site of the Seattle World Cruiser Project. Celebrating the first circumnavigation of the globe by air.
OH MY GOSH! - WE’RE HEADED TO OSHKOSH!
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been invited to appear at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 as part of the Pioneers of Flight area.
It’s an incredible honor to showcase the Cruiser alongside other icons of early aviation, including the EAA’s Spirit of St. Louis reproduction and other historic aircraft — exactly the kind of public spotlight we hoped this project would one day receive as we work to share the story of the First World Flight. For a project built to celebrate a milestone many have forgotten, this moment means the world to us. (Click here to visit the EAA article)
The EAA has also posted this wonderful article about our arrival and reassembly: Douglas World Cruiser: Some Assembly Required – Hangar Flying
For a whole host of practical reasons, we won’t be flying the Cruiser to Oshkosh. She’ll be transported there and mounted on floats for the event to match how the Cruisers were outfitted when they left Seattle for their flight around the world. After the fly‑in, Seattle II will go on display on loan in the EAA Aviation Museum.
Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing images from Oshkosh below.
