solo flying the Fisk Arrival into OSHKOSH!​

Jul 18, 2024 #ad #bonanza #garmin

After five days and almost 1700 nautical miles of flying, it's finally time to fly to Oshkosh! In today's video, I fly my Cessna 140A into KOSH (Oshkosh, Wisconsin) for EAA AirVenture 2023. In order to fly into EAA AirVenture, pilots have to follow a specific set of directions called the Fisk Arrival. The Fisk Arrival utilizes visual landmarks, such as lakes and railroad tracks, to guide thousands of pilots and airplanes into Wittman Regional Airport in one long line. I've flown this arrival in my Bonanza twice, but never in my Cessna 140A, and never by myself — until now!
