SNF is great fun.
Oshkosh is amazing. If you've never been,come 48 hours before opening day (36hrs for SNF) and enjoy the atmosphere of the arrivals, then stay for the whole week.
Those two are the only ones I can tell you about.

Aero 2007 at Friedrichshafen (EDNY) was the biggest GA airshow I've ever been to, by a very long way. Hangars full of everything from lawn mowers you strap to your back, to bizjets.
The Prague one, which is actually at Pribram (and Pribram where I used to live is to Prague a bit like Luton is to London) should be pretty big and of interest to "sports" pilots.

Shuttleworth
What about a visit to Old Warden for one of the Shuttleworth Collection flying days? It looks like the dates aren't up yet, but always worth a visit to see history in action.

Willows:
Oh yes Indeed
fernytickles:
Ive read that Ohskosh is the worlds # 1 event and that SNF is # 2 so..... il go for the # 1.
Good tips about being there a couple of days before / after. Traveling from Sweden also so perhaps nice to have a day to "relax" before the show.
IO540:
Do you have more information about Friedrichshafen ? You know if there is a show in 2008 and what kind of planes is on the show ?
About the Aero Expo wich is both in Prague and London, is it the same on both locations or is it 2 different shows ?
muggins:
I am not so interested in that kind of old stuff. I want more new GA, G1000 and stuff like that

Friedrichafen event is only held every TWO years
Last one was last year (2007) so mathematically it will next be staged in errrummm ... 2007 + 2 (counting on fingers) = 2009.
In 2007 it was held in mid April so expect roughly the same period in 2009.
A terrific event well worth a visit. Stomped around for two days and couldn't get enough of it.

Fully Flapped
If you are after volumes of aircraft Tannheim is the place to go. First visit last year, only 800+ aeroplanes on the Saturday as the weather was not great. Previous years numbers exceeded 1000
Very relaxed atmosphere, no fences and good beer. Wide mix of microlights, VLAs, homebuild, classics, some warbirds (AT-6, PT-17) and the usual GA hardware.
Small static exhibition, e.g Cessna, Cirrus and vintage aircraft. Short display slots during afternoon but steady flow of arrivals from Friday.
http://www.tannkosh.de/ details to be updated soon 19-20-21 July 2008
Camping on airfield but hotels locally in short supply, so book early

3rd vote for Oshkosh - have just booked for this year. Staying the whole week - well worth it. There was a thread about the show last year that is probably still around somewhere - some good tips there.
Popham microlight is also a good event (local to me)

Paulc and anyone else who comes to Oshkosh, make sure you get to the International Party. Usually on the Thursday or Friday at the Nature Centre. One of the best parties of the whole event

If you want the Shuttleworth dates for 2008 just click on forthcoming events. They are all listed over several pages.

Personally I would go for Oshkosh and take a few days out to soak up the atmosphere. Fly in if you get the opportunity - that really is a great experience.
S + F is also great but on a slightly smaller scale.
You will see much the same stuff at both the USD shows so I would do one or the other rather than both.
Friedrichshafen is the biggest in Europe and worth a visit but not anything like as huge as the big two in the US .
