Field Status:
Two inches of rain fell on Wittman Regional Airport late on Wednesday, but were largely absorbed by sunny skies and below average temperatures and dew points on Thursday and Friday. Volunteer crews assessed the turf areas used for aircraft taxiing and parking on the airport and marked the soft spots they found with traffic cones. Pilots of heavy aircraft may want to bring plywood squares to place under aircraft wheels. As always, pilots should remain vigilant when taxiing off of paved surfaces.
General Aviation Camping and Parking Areas:
The General Aviation camping and parking areas are open and accepting new arrivals. General Aviation aircraft are accommodated in camping and parking areas in the "North Forty" and "South Forty" sections of Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH). These areas were expanded in 2021 and again in 2023. Arriving pilots should show sign code "GAC" or "GAP" and ground volunteers will provide directions to the most appropriate nearby location. An optional sign with an "N" or an "S" can also be used in the special case of a pilot requesting to be sent to the north or south area, even if it is not the closest.
Because of restrictions on the taxiway to the South Forty areas, particularly heavy are being accommodated today in the North Forty areas, not the South Forty.
Showplane Areas:
Showplane areas accommodate experimentals (homebuilts), warbirds, production aircraft manufactured prior to 1971, ultralights, and amphibian aircraft. These areas are expected to remain open for the duration of AirVenture 2025.
Next planned update to this page: 9 PM today. Have a great flight!
