March 5, 2026Call Green Bay Approach on 119.4 if you want to request VFR practice instrument approaches (if you try tower first without approach approval, they’ll just send you to approach anyway)

August 28, 2024Controllers were good. Simple airfield to navigate. FBO is first class. Also fun to mix it up with commercial traffic around the airport.

April 12, 2024Quite pleasant FBO, snacks offered and fine facilities in the washroom. Very neat avflight planes near the waiting area. Not too distant from eateries and lodging. Surprised to find that they become rather busy. Place your fuel request at a sensible moment. Also if you are flying up here during Oshkosh time, this is superior to going to Oshkosh if you wish to bypass all the disorder
