Administration has released the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM), featuring arrival and departure procedures for EAA’s 65th annual fly-in convention July 24-30 at
Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.
The NOTAM, which is in effect from 6 a.m. CDT on Friday,
July 21, until noon CDT on July 31, outlines procedures for the many types of
aircraft that fly to Oshkosh for the event, as well as aircraft that land at
nearby airports.
The NOTAM was designed by the FAA to assist pilots in
their EAA AirVenture flight planning. This year’s NOTAM cover features a photo
of a B-25 bomber parked at Oshkosh during the fly-in.
