EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is July 22-28, 2024
Brennand Airport is close to the action, yet far from the congestion
Flying to the area for EAA AirVenture? Brennand Airport (79C) in Neenah, WI is only a 15-mile drive away from the Oshkosh airshow grounds. The airport is located in a quiet country farmland setting, yet it’s conveniently close to Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha, Appleton, and highway 41.
Park your aircraft here for the show, stop for fuel, or stay and camp. Brennand Airport is a convenient alternative to the crowds at other airports in the area.
The airport welcomes ultralights, light-sport aircraft, single- and multi-engine airplanes, and rotorcraft. Brennand Airport has a paved, lighted 2,450′ x 30′ runway and is VFR-only with no instrument approaches. Due to pavement width and space limitations, the airport cannot accommodate large aircraft. If in doubt, please call ahead for more info.
Easy in, easy out
Brennand Airport normally remains open throughout the event week, with no curfews or closures for airshows unless indicated by NOTAM. Come and go as you please, without long lines or a multi-page NOTAM procedure! The airport is non-towered. Please see our pilot info page for more information.
Pilot-friendly facilities
A large building provides a welcoming space for our EAA visitors. Relax in the air conditioning or enjoy the outside patio furniture. Restrooms, showers, and kitchen facilities are available. Guests have access to a computer station and WiFi. We invite you sign our guestbook and place a pin in the map! If the building is locked, just call the phone number on the door and we can give you an access code.
Free aircraft parking and tie-down
Plenty of grass parking space is available for transient and overnight aircraft. Permanent tiedowns are installed along the west side of the airport from the fuel pump area southward. Please bring your own stakes and ropes just in case. Reservations are not required. Space is first-come, first-served. There are no fees for parking or tiedown.
Paved parking is very limited. We appreciate your cooperation in not blocking our local tenants’ access to hangars and aircraft. If you need paved parking for more than a quick stop, please call ahead to see if we can accommodate you.
Looking for hangar space? Please call to inquire about availability and rental.
Free tent camping
Pilots are welcome to pitch a tent with their plane or elsewhere in one of the grassy areas. No reservations are necessary. There is no fee for camping.
24/7 self-serve fuel
100LL aircraft fuel is available 24/7 from a self-serve pump operated by credit card.
Transportation
While there is no scheduled shuttle or official transportation to the EAA grounds, we can help you make plans for transportation. Just call ahead to let us know what you need, and we will see if we can help.
There is an off-airport Enterprise rental car location in the city of Neenah that may be able to pick you up. Some visitors have also had good luck with local car dealerships such as Kolosso Toyota bringing rental vehicles to the field. Uber and Lyft have started to become more common in the area. Taxi services provide area transportation as well.
Aircraft maintenance
Whether it’s a flat tire or something more serious, we know that having a maintenance issue during your Oshkosh trip is no fun. In case of the unexpected, licensed A&P/IA Mechanic Jim Keenan can help you with your aircraft maintenance needs or point you in the right direction. Call 920-517-4046.
