Streetwise: A chance to reacquaint yourself with Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH), Oshkosh, Wisconsin



During our decade here in Oshkosh, Streetwise has heard more than a little bit of pessimism about Wittman Regional Airport’s economic impact outside of AirVenture.
 
There’s a lot more going on at Wittman than just the Experimental Aircraft Association and EAA Chapter 252, based at the airport, wants to showcase it whilst feeding you, too.

The group has teamed up with airport businesses to host Wittman Airport Expo Day from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, at the airport’s terminal building, 525 W. 20th Ave.

Aviation businesses and organizations will have informational booths set up and a pancake breakfast will be served. Volunteer pilots also will be giving children ages 8-17 a free airplane ride from 9 to 11 a.m. and will talk about how aircraft work.

Breakfast will cost $3 for children under the age of 10 and $7 for adults. Otherwise, the event is free, so stop by and take a look at all that happens at Wittman. If you have more questions, email the chapter at eaa252@gmail.com.
