International Aviation Art Contest 2023

Published in Midwest Flyer Magazine June/July 2023 Digital Issue

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 2023 International Aviation Art Contest! This year’s theme was ‘Air Sports & The Environment.’ Entries were divided into three age groups and were judged on the creative use of the theme in relation to the aviation world. The top three entries in each age group advanced to the national competition and received $100 gift cards.

 

2022 Wisconsin Airport Rates and Charges Report

The Wisconsin Airport Rates and Charges Report for calendar year 2022 is now available. Each year, the Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) surveys Wisconsin airports for information relating to aeronautical services such as fuel prices, hangar rental rates and ground lease rates. The survey results serve as a comparative tool to help airports gauge financial practices and needs. Pilots, consultants, and other users of Wisconsin airports can also benefit from the data collected. View the report and the data on our web site at: https://wisconsindot.gov/av-pubs.

2023-2024 Wisconsin Airport Directory

The 2023-2024 Wisconsin Airport Directory and Pilot’s Guide is now available. The directory contains airport diagrams and essential information like frequencies, services, airport remarks and contact information for all public-use airports and seaplane bases in the state. Participants of the Fly Wisconsin Airport Passport Program will also find a description of the stamp location for each airport.

As always, most aircraft owners registered in Wisconsin will receive a physical copy of the directory in the mail. Hard copies of the directory can be purchased by mailing in an order form found on our web site. There, you’ll also be able to view and download a digital pdf version of the directory for free.

ForeFlight users have the additional option of adding the directory as a content pack, allowing you to view the airport diagrams as a geo-referenced map in the ForeFlight app. To download the ForeFlight content pack for free, along with instructions for installation, visit our web site at: https://wisconsindot.gov/arptdir.

Meet BOA at AirVenture

Come meet BOA staff in person at EAA Airventure 2023. Our booth will be in Exhibit Hall A, just across the street from the air traffic control tower. We will also have a tent located near the base of the air traffic control tower. At BOA, there’s nothing we enjoy more than talking about Wisconsin airports, so bring all your questions and comments. While you are there, you’ll be able to pick up complimentary Wisconsin aeronautical charts and roadmaps, information about Wisconsin seaplane bases, Wisconsin airport points of interest, children’s aviation coloring books and much more!

If you won’t be attending AirVenture this year, you can still meet us in person. To set up a meeting with any of our staff members call 608-266-3351.
