CONTEST WEEK UPDATE: The box markers are in and two competitors were getting a jump on the pack today (Tuesday). The weather is showing sporadic rain but it will keep temperatures in the high 70's to low 80's. Looks like we should have enough good weather to get in a full contest.
We have coordinated the airspace with our local aviation groups to minimize any overlap in training and practice areas during the busy pre Oshkosh week. We will be flying acro over the airport and practicing to the north and east while other groups will give us a 5NM buffer and fly to the south and west.
Please join us for a pre-AirVenture contest at Platteville Municipal Airport (KPVB) in Southwestern Wisconsin. We call it "The Driftless" This is a country airport 3 miles south of Platteville Wisconsin and is approximately 100 NM southwest of KOSH, an easy morning flight to AirVenture. The airport has a large ramp, plenty of hangar space, offices and judges line which are all within easy walking distance. Shuttle transportation will be available during the practice and contest days. The aerobatic box is located west of runways 15/33. Primary through Unlimited Power will be flown.
And one last point! No section lines or north-south orientation, just crossing runways and box markers. Do you have the skills to be in the game?
