THIS IS A REPETITION OF MY MESSAGE TO THE FORUM
OF SOME WEEKS AGO, JUST TO KEEP YOU WARM !


Maybe this is a good idea for all the Europals in the US that want to travel
by plane to Oskosh in July but don't like the hectic beehive called Whitman
Field during the convention days.

In Neenah, at 10 nm north of Oshkosh is a small field called Brennand
Airport.Quiet and with very friendly folks. Tiedowns are a trifle ($5.00),
there's place to put up your tent and you can use the hanger's restroom and
pilot's lounge. It's a bit primitive but I think it will appeal to many of
us. On request the bus from Appleton comes every hour to pick you up for
Oshkosh and I am driving myself by car every morning and down in the
afternoon, so there's a good chance that I can pick you up.

The official name of the field is Brennand Airport (79C) and it is on 10 nm
at the 357 radial from Osh VOR.

Surprised that a message like this comes to the forum from the Netherlands?
Yes, I arrived  there several years ago by coincidence and stayed coming
back every year since. The owner, Ted Vanderwielen, is a cordial guy and we
are friends from that very first day. Interested? Want to know more? Call
him at 920.836.3081.

Or look at www.airnav.com/airport/79c

Hope to meet you there this summer!
