With the annual Oshkosh AirVenture fly-in around the corner, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is highlighting some changes to the show-related Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). The 2021 AirVenture NOTAM includes new ATC-assignable transition points approaching Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) from the west along with noting that VORs FAH and IKK have been decommissioned. In addition, the width of temporary Runway 18L/36R is now 60 feet following a reconstruction.
“With AirVenture on hiatus last year, it is more crucial than ever to thoroughly read and understand the 2021 AirVenture NOTAM to ensure safe operations on arrival and departure for this year’s event,” said EAA vice president of advocacy and safety Sean Elliott. “We also urge all pilots to log appropriate cross-country time prior to their trip to Oshkosh so they have the proficiency and confidence to fly safely in conjunction with a thorough knowledge of this year’s NOTAM.”

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) The aircraft and personnel of the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command will be among the highlighted programs at EAA AirVenture this summer.
The event, which was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, is set for July 26-August 1 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.
“Even those who have a solid familiarity with the U.S. Air Force often know little about its special operations units and the important mission they fulfill, so we want to bring some visibility to that at Oshkosh in 2021,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programming, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “The Air Force has been extremely cooperative through the years at showcasing its remarkable people and aircraft at AirVenture, and we look forward to discovering even more in 2021.”
