OSHKOSH AIR TRAFFIC

Handling the air traffic at Oshkosh


Have you ever wondered how AirVenture Oshkosh can handle up to 10,000 visiting aircraft arriving and departing?



Oshkosh has got it down to a fine art. The arrivals and departures are a mix of VFR (visual), IFR (instrument) and NORDO (no radio) aircraft funneling into Whitman Regional Airport and several smaller fields for the seven day event.



In addition, Whitman also handles scheduled air services too.

I’ll be there to see it all on August 1 and 2. Can’t wait. Sixty-three more sleeps.

  2. The show runs for a week from 29 July to 4 August, but I will be there on 1st and 2nd only so will miss the busy times for arrivals and departures. But I will keep you updated with the show and my drive through about a dozen states including several national parks.
