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.
Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteIt’s obvious that you are very much excited to be in Oshkosh for the show. Please don’t forget to update us and share some news on how they handle air traffic.
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.
ReplyDeleteI see that Peter. Do you have an idea on what specific shows will be showcased during the 1st and 2nd of August? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a detailed program yet. Will make some updates as it progresses.
