If you are planning to fly yourself to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) AirVenture this year, you better start reading. The notice to air missions (NOTAM) that provides guidance for arrivals and departures to Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has been released.
During the annual convention, the control tower at KOSH becomes the busiest in the world. Pilots are instructed to land their aircraft on particular colored dots, and radio traffic is kept to a minimum because there are so many aircraft on approach. On average, an airplane lands every 17 seconds on the north-south runways. The east-west runway, which serves the warbird ramp, is also busy, as is the smaller ultralight and vintage area on the south end of the airport.
