Snow, Or No Snow...

It's a safe bet that when it comes to January in Wisconsin, there will be plenty of snow on the ground... but even if the ground is dry, the Experimental Aircraft Association won't let that get in the way of a festive fly-in on the grounds of Wittman Field.

The annual EAA Skiplane Fly-In will be held on Saturday, January 27 -- snow or no snow -- at EAA’s Pioneer Airport..

The EAA reports if there is enough snow on the ground, an impressive array of skiplanes will be welcomed. If the ground remains bare but firm, wheeled airplanes will be allowed to visit.

Complimentary chili and cake to celebrate the birthday of EAA’s matriarch, Audrey Poberezny, will be served at Pioneer Airport beginning at 10:30 am.

Everyone is welcome to this free-of-charge event, so put on your best winter clothes and get out to the airport!
 
Those driving in to the event can simply follow the signs to Pioneer Airport. Pilots intending to fly-in must contact Sean Elliott at 920-426-4886 to register and receive an arrival briefing.

For those who wish to fly in and land at Wittman Regional Airport, a shuttle service will also run all day to and from Orion and Basler FBOs.
