Ultralight Day Coming To EAA's Pioneer Airport June 14

Up To Two Dozen Aircraft Expected For The Event

EAA’s Pioneer Airport will be transformed into a fun fly zone on Saturday, June 14, as up to two dozen ultralights and light aircraft fly to the grass airstrip for Ultralight Day 2014.

Members of EAA Ultralight Chapters 1 (Southern Wisconsin) and 75 (North Central Wisconsin) will fly their ultralights, and light-planes to EAA’s Pioneer Airport to show the public what fun flying is all about.

“This will be a great opportunity for anyone visiting the EAA museum to see up close and learn more about this fun, affordable segment of aviation,” said Timm Bogenhagen, EAA ultralight & light-plane community manager. “Affordable fun is the core of this kind of flying.”

Two mass arrivals will take place between 9-10 a.m., and each chapter has a designated flight leader that will be leading their chapter’s flight of aircraft in for landing on Pioneer Airport’s grass runway, weather permitting. At about 1 p.m., pilots will conduct several proficiency events like accuracy landing, torpedo runs, and bean bag drops. Those scoring in the top three of each event will receive a special plaque.

Admission to Pioneer Airport is included with regular museum admission. There is no charge for EAA members.
