A/N: I do not own EAA. The people mentioned from EAA are the Real people who run the EAA. I only used the names. (yes, I did research this so that I could be politically correct on everything.) Enjoy
It was a beautiful and sunny day in April in adventure bay. The pups decided to play outside today because it might be the last nice day for a while. Ryder was sitting outside on a lawn chair looking up events that are coming up in the summer. Then he got an email from someone from the United States. "Huh, I wonder who is trying to contact me?" Ryder said as he opened the email. The email came from a group called the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). "Who are these people?" he said to himself. Then he started reading the email, it read:
...
Dear Ryder and the Paw Patrol,
My name is Tom Poberezny. I'm the former president of EAA or Experimental Aircraft Association. We here at EAA have heard all about what you do in the world and we wanted to thank you. So, me and our current CEO Jack Pelton want to invite you to our international convention this year. It is called EAA Air Venture Oshkosh and it is held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the United States. We were hoping that you would perform in one of our airshows that we have daily during the week and be speakers at our international safety forum. It will be free of charge for you to come, parking for your aircraft will be free, food free as well for the whole week and weekend before the week. We hope that you will come to our 2017 convention during the last week of July. Let us know if you can make it, thank you.
-Tom Poberezny
Former President/CEO of EAA
-Jack J. Pelton
Current CEO of EAA

Ryder's POV:
"Huh, I Still don't know who these people are, but it is cool that they know who we are" I said.
Just then Skye walked in. "I just talked to Ace Sorensen, she is going to be at a huge Aviation convention and is participating in their airshows." She said excitedly
"That's Awesome Skye, what is it called?" I asked curiously
"It's EAA's international convention, it's the biggest convention in Aviation, but why?" Skye asked. I started to laugh and she cocked her head. "funny thing Skye, look at this" I said.
I showed her the email I got from them. Her eyes widened to the size of bowling balls the minute she saw it "AHHHH!" she screamed and I covered one of my ears OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH! We have been invited to go for a whole 10 days and even perform in their Airshows…*gasp* what did you say!?" she asked so excited I thought she might pee herself.
I laughed "I haven't said anything yet, so you think that we should accept it? I asked her "Ryder, I have known about EAA Oshkosh for years and It has been my dream to go there and better yet perform. So, I'm begging you" she said then gave me her best puppy eyes she could make "can we please go to this, please" she begged.
"Hmm… I'll think about it Skye I think we should discuss this at dinner with the other pups and see what they want to do." I said to her
"*growl* alright" sky growled
"Skye, I suggest you don't do that anymore or else I won't accept the invite" I threatened
"*gasp* ok, I'm so sorry Ryder, I won't do it again. I promise." She said
"I hope so, now I want to run this by the others at dinner ok. I also want it to be a surprise, so please don't tell the other pups about any of it." I told Skye
"Ok Ryder, I won't" Skye said.
...
Skye's POV:
It killed me to keep the news a secret, I want to tell the other pups so badly, but I made a promise to Ryder, even though it was hard to keep. We had Jake, Carlos, Katie, Cali, Everest and Tracker over for dinner that night.
"hey Skye, how's it going?" Everest asked me.
"oh, it's going great, Ryder has a big announcement at dinner tonight" I told her excitedly.
"that's awesome, I can't wait" Everest said.
"me either, I'm super excited" I said and we continued to catch up on life until dinner started.
Later that evening after dinner, we all discussed it. "ok everybody, so I an invitation in the mail today that will interest you guys." Ryder was saying until
"what it is!"
"dude! I bet it's a surfing competition invite"
"maybe it's to the fastest construction pup competition"
"maybe it has to do with police pup stuff"
"is it the green festival?"
"does it involve snowboarding?"
"amigo, don't keep us waiting!" all the other pups said all at once.
"I already know what it is." I said. All the pups stopped talking and looked at me in shock.
"WHAT! HOW?" the pups yelled.
"because Ryder asked me who it came from." I simply said and I saw Ryder and the others smile.
"Skye, why don't you tell them what we have been invited to." He said to me
"really?" I asked,
"well you know more about this then me so, yes." He said handing me the note.
"Ok sure, so do you pups want to know what we are doing?" I asked
"YEAH" the pups cheered loudly except for Ryder, Katie, Jake, and Carlos who sat back smiling and watched. Then Chase jumped on the table "come on Skye, just tell us!" he shouted excitedly he then looked over to Ryder who raised an eyebrow at him. "hehe, uh sorry" he said climbing back into his seat.
"Skye, you may continue, I want to hear this." Jake said
"ok, so we have been invited to the united states to..." I said when suddenly
"AWESOME, I've never been to the states"
"I wonder how different it is then Canada?"
"where in the states, dude"
"oh, I want to try a real American burger when I get there"
"I could meet others who speak Spanish"
"I could meet police dogs from the states"
"cool we are going to the states… what are we stating?"
"they are said to have great recycling there" all the pups said.
"Pups, let's let Skye finish. Go on Skye" Katie said smiling
"Thanks Katie. Now, we are going to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. There, is an international convention known as EAA Air Venture Oshkosh. We have been invited to stay there for the whole week, and we were also invited to perform a few mock rescues in their Airshow and we will speak at the international safety forum as presenters!" I finished unable to keep my excitement in.
the pups stared in shock, "YEAH" they cheered suddenly and I joined in.
"Skye when is this convention" Carlos asked
"oh, it's from July 24th to July 30th" I said to him
"thanks" he said, "your welcome" I said to him.
"Ryder sir, are we going?" Chase asked Ryder eagerly.
"well that is why I called you all here, I wanted to know if you all wanted to go?" he asked.
The pups looked at each other then, back to him "YES" they all said and I smiled.
"alright then it's settled we are going to Wisconsin this summer." Ryder announced
"YEAAAAA!" we cheered.
...
Ryder's POV:
After dinner, the pups went outside to play and the people stayed inside and talked.
"So, Ryder dude, you think you can handle all the pups at once, it's a big job ya know" Jake asked.
"no, I won't be able to handle them all at once. So, that's why I'm asking you if you all want to come with us for free?" I asked them.
"is that even possible, or like is that breaking rules" Katie asked concerned.
"yeah dude, I don't want to be a downer bud but, isn't that like against the rules" Jake added.
"it's not, the owners of the pups can go that's me, Jake, and Carlos. And I can bring a friend and that's you Katie. I'm also going to ask a few other people to join as our "airshow crew" and everyone that comes gets to stay as long as we are staying." I stated from the letter I was given.
"so, do you want to come?" I asked again.
"that's great yes, I will gladly go" Katie answered
"dude, count me in" Jake answered
"yes, that sounds fantastic" Carlos replied.
"Great, we already have a camping area reserved for us there. We will be leaving on the 19th and arriving there on the 20th of July" I said still reading from the note given to us.
"So, Ryder then what do we need to bring?" Katie asked,
"well pretty much the same stuff you would bring when you travel but also camping equipment like tents and stuff, sunscreen and things to keep you hydrated, money, and anything else you might need" I told Katie.
"sounds good, thanks" She said.
"We will be taking the Air Patroller to get there." I said
"will it really take a whole day to get there?" Jake asked
"yes because, with loading up all the stuff on the morning we leave and having to make stops for gas and bathroom breaks it will take a full day's time to get there.
But we will get there on the morning of the 20th" I said to Jake.
"well thanks for inviting us Ryder" Katie said.
"it's nothing. I want everyone in the Paw Patrol family there." I said they all smiled at me.
