The annual EAA Skiplane Fly-In is this Saturday, January 22,
from 0830 - 1600, at EAA's Pioneer Airport in Oshkosh, WI. If there
is enough snow on the ground -- and the latest recent forecast
calls for snow this week -- skiplanes will be invited to fly in. In
past years, more than 25 skiplanes landed at Pioneer Airport to
participate in the event, showcasing this unique segment of flight
that is quite popular throughout many parts of North America.
