EAA Experimenter 7
IN THE DEAD OF winter with the holidays fi rmly in the rear-view
mirror, life can get pretty gloomy in East-Central Wisconsin.
Thank goodness for EAA's annual Skiplane Fly-In, which brings
together aviation enthusiasts for a day of hangar fl ying, camara-
derie, and of course, potentially dozens of skiplanes.
This year's event is scheduled for Saturday, February 7, at
EAA's Pioneer Airport. Most of the airplanes arrive (weather
and runway conditions permitting) mid-morning and stay
until mid-afternoon. In case weather or snow conditions do
not permit aircraft arrivals at Pioneer Airport, other activities
will continue as planned, including complimentary chili lunch
and cake to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the fi rst meeting
of the Experimental Aircraft Association, January 26, 1953, at
Curtiss-Wright Field, Milwaukee.
Pilots who wish to participate still have time to register,
but must receive approval and fl ight briefi ngs from EAA prior
to landing at Pioneer Airport. Contact EAA's Olivia Rasmus at
920-426-6599 or at
orasmus@eaa.org for more information.
The Skiplane Fly-In runs from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and is
free of charge to the general public. Signs will direct visitors to
the skiplane area upon arrival to the museum. Shuttle services
will also operate from Basler Flight Service for those landing at
Wittman Regional Airport. Regular admission rates apply for
guests visiting the museum itself.
