Welcome to the Oshkosh Seaplane Base Web Site!

Information for the EAA AirVenture Seaplane Base and Convention

Congratulations Mark and Ann Unertl

Nestled in a cozy cove off the west shore of Lake Winnebago is the AirVenture Seaplane Base, site of the EAA AirVenture "Splash-In". It's the center of activities for those with an interest in water-based aviation. Over the years, as EAA has grown, so has participation at the seaplane base.

This premium seaplane "spot" is open to those who attend the AirVenture Convention. However, this is not a registered seaplane base the remaining 51 weeks of the year. This is private land; owned by the Vette and Blust Families.

In 2008, 134 seaplanes and amphibians registered during the Fly-In. The 100% volunteer staff at the seaplane base has again scheduled a number of fun activities throughout the week. A special Seaplane Base shuttle is operated every day during AirVenture. The pick up point at the main airport is located south of the antique classic area, in the Amphib parking area. You're invited to see what's going on and enjoy the unique facet of "water flying" at the AirVenture Seaplane Base.

This site was designed and developed by pilots and seaplane base volunteers for pilots and seaplane base volunteers. E-mail comments to the webmaster.
