Wittman Airport without AirVenture

Skis on an airplane? It would sink before the boat could be hooked to it.

My first solo was on skis. Why wasn't I told about this before?

I'm considering a flight to Oshkosh in September, and I have a few questions:

Is there a place to hangar or tie down a homebuilt on EAA property for a day or two?

If not, where is a good place?

Is it possible to tie down on the ramp by the Hilton if I stay at the Hilton?

Any recommendations for lodging?

Thanks,


BJC

Almost certainly. I tie down on the Hilton ramp every year the last Sunday of the show when we stay there overnight.

Pioneer airport also has the young eagles camp in the summer. It's a great aviation experience for kids and teens. I went 10 years ago and loved it.

Yes, the Air Academy is a hugely underrated program that doesn't get nearly the publicity it should. I went to the advanced camp in 1999 and currently camp every year at Oshkosh in Pauls woods with life long friends I've met through the Air Academy. All of us actively employed in nearly every facet of aviation. if your chapters don't already you should look in to sponsoring a deserving teen to attend the Academy, it can be truly life changing for some of us.
