Fond du Lac, Wisconsin’s airport (KFLD) is so close to Oshkosh, yet so far away – from the crowds, the lines and the waiting. Fond du Lac, located at the southern end of Lake Winnebago, just 15 miles south of Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, offers easy access to everything that AirVenture offers. Abundant camping and transient aircraft tie-down spots are available on the field, with a regularly scheduled shuttle service that will take you from Fond du Lac’s terminal right to AirVenture’s main gate.
Fond du Lac’s local EAA Chapter 572 is ready and able to meet your fly-in needs. There are shower and restroom facilities available to campers on the field, and the chapter is committed to do what it can to meet the needs of fellow aviators who are flying in.

Fond du Lac might be a better option for pilots who may be reluctant to face the high-density air traffic in Oshkosh. Fond du Lac has a main north-south runway that is 5560 feet long, and a 3360 ft. crosswind runway. The airport also has several GPS and non-precision approaches.
Fond du Lac Skyport is the full-service fixed base operator on the field. For information about Fond du Lac Skyport go to: http://fdlskyport.com/ or to http://www.facebook.com/#!/FDLSkyport. For information about the Visitors’ Guide to Fond du Lac go to: http://www.fdl.com/
