Lodge is opening for business. Airstrip, however is still closed and they were not sure if it would re-open. Flew over on 29-Jun-2011, one aircraft on taxiway indicated field was closed (wondered why they were down there but didn't ask).

Comment by @airbound on Grand Geneva Resort Airport, United States:

Another SE Wisconsin trip worth the visit. The resort is upscale and boasts a great lunch.

Town of Lake Geneva is a few minutes away and offers shops, water activities, beach. Just a great place to loaf a day away.

As the former Playboy club property from 1968 till 1983, there is an occasional re-union - how do I know? I just happened to take the father-in-law in for a flight.

A great place just to go for lunch.

Took the family for a day outing to play around the lodge.

Lodge and Airstrip closed in late 2010. I hear the lodge may re-open in 2011. Don't know about the airstrip.

Winnebago County could care less about this airport, there is no promotion what so ever, meanwhile Outagamie and Austin Straubel have first class facilities...What a waste of taxpayers money..

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Stevens Point Municipal Airport, United States:

Fields at Galoshkosh 2010 were pretty wet last Sat Jul 24 so forced to stay at Stevens Point. Airport staff and management were wonderful. Fuel was reasonably priced and every effort was made to accomodate the numerous semi-stranded EAA 2010 visitors. Great place to stop!

[KJVL] "Diversion turned out well" by rw2

Comment by @rw2 on Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport, United States:

Was planning to head to southern Illinois, but fog prevented that from occurring. Instead, headed up to Janesville to get some brunch. The onsite restaurant has tasty food and exceptional service. They mention their 'homemade toast' a bunch of times on the menu. We had a laugh about it. Then it showed up. And, you know what, it was actually worth mentioning. Homemade bread, sliced thick and toasted.

Comment by @rw2 on Tri-County Regional Airport, United States:

Reply to @paulie: Yup, food is good there. Sat mornings folks from around Wisc fly in for breakfast. I haven't made that particular trip there, but I here that 10-15 planes will show up on a busy morning.

The terrain is quite pretty as the Wisc river has been a protected waterway for ages and very little development was ever permitted along it.

Can be slightly difficult to find. VOR or GPS will be your friend to get you close unless you stay pretty high so you can see down into the river valley to spot it.

The location of the marker for Rosenbaum Field is incorrect. It should be south and west of its current location. Zoom the map and you will see the row of hangars.

[WS17] "Part of AirVenture museum" by david

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:18:23 -0400

Comment by @david on Pioneer Airport, United States:

This airport, immediately adjacent to Wittman Regional (OSH), operates together with the AirVenture Museum at OshKosh. It is a grass strip with over 50 airplanes in period hangars, and includes a playground and rides in vintage aircraft. An AirVenture Museum ticket is required to visit the field, and a tram travels to the field from the museum:

This airport is normally quiet, but for a week every summer it hosts the annual EAA AirVenture Fly-in (often referred to as "Oshkosh"), and briefly becomes the world's busiest airport by aircraft movements. The fly-in this year is next week, starting on July 23. Here's the web site:

Nice farm strip. Drop in to watch the Sky Ranch Flyers fly R/C. If one of the Hahns is around, you might get a golf-cart tour of the few gopher holes on the field.

[5K6] "Mind the gap!" by Oblivion

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:28:57 -0400

Comment by @Oblivion on Westosha Airport, United States:

There's a pretty good dropoff (for the midwest) at the end of 03. With the trees there, the winds can get squirrelly while on final to 21. Not a bad idea to land just a little long on 21.

The turf runway is underused, but decent.
