Wittman Regional Airport: a real, dual-purpose asset

Wittman Regional Airport serves as Oshkosh's regional airport year-round and hosts EAA AirVenture each July, when more than 10,000 aircraft arrive during the event.

A genuinely car-dependent city

Like most Fox Valley/Lake Winnebago cities, Oshkosh runs genuinely car-dependent for daily commuting, relying on US-41 and local arterials rather than heavy rail transit.

Plan around EAA AirVenture week traffic

Real, significant traffic and lodging demand accompanies EAA AirVenture each July -- movers and visitors should plan around the event's real, disclosed 734,000-attendee scale.
