...we want to let you know a few things that will make your arrival and stay easier and more enjoyable. First, when you get to Juneau you'll be only thirty (30) nautical miles away from your goal, with the fun just about to begin! Exciting things will happen and those who participate in the mass arrival will have lots of good experiences awaiting them! The next thing we want to say is: HAVE A SAFE FLIGHT TO JUNEAU! Plan ahead, do a thorough preflight planning and detailed preflight airworthiness inspection. Watch out for developing weather and last-minute TFRs.
Our host in Juneau, Tom David, Wisconsin Aviation Airport Manager, leads a very dedicated staff who do absolutely their best to assist us every year. This will be our 19th year at Dodge County Airport (KUNU), and we can say without hesitation that the staff at Wisconsin Aviation is the best.
SPECIAL PARKING PROCEDURES WILL BE IN EFFECT
EXPECT UPDATES HERE ON THE WEBSITE AND VIA EMAIL
When you arrive in Juneau:
PROCEED TO THE FUEL ISLAND AND HAVE YOUR PLANE FUELED BEFORE PARKING.
AFTER FUELING, DO NOT MOVE, WAIT FOR DIRECTIONS FROM WISCONSIN AVIATION STAFF.
The parking and tiedown plan in effect since 2017, with its improvements will be in effect again in 2025, with some modifications and additional procedures. The plan is directed at maximizing the available surface space and facilitating the preflight radio roll call, taxi-out and launch procedures of the mass arrival flight. The main parking and tiedown areas are: east of runway 02-20, north of the FBO building; across the FBO, west of runway 02-20, next to the hangars on "the other side of the field"; and taxiway F along the west side of runways 02-20. Other areas are now under study and every pilot will be notified to what area he or she will be assigned upon arrival. All aircraft with retractable landing gear will be parked on the west area, near the hangars on specifically designated spaces. All the fixed gear aircraft will be parked on the east area, next to the FBO building.
Once your plane is fueled, a Wisconsin Aviation line staff will direct you or will tow your plane to your designated parking and tiedown area. Unless there is an urgent reason for it, you should not move the plane from your parking spot until the radio call to taxi-out for the mass arrival flight.
Once your aircraft is parked and tied down, proceed directly to Wisconsin Aviation's front desk to take care of your fuel bill. Once done, Tom or one of his very able staff will direct you upstairs to the Cessnas 2 Oshkosh's registration office where you will check in and receive your personal welcome package. This package will contain a Cessnas 2 Oshkosh logo shirt and a badge for you and each of your registered passengers, plus any extra shirts you may have ordered, the schedule of events at Juneau and Oshkosh, several briefing cards and logistic information about the mass arrival flight. This logistic information will be discussed in detail during the mandatory mass arrival preflight briefing starting at 1:00 pm CDT (UTC-5) on Friday July 19. Remember, the brief is MANDATORY!
CHECK-IN CLOSES PROMPTLY AT 11:00 AM CDT (UTC-5) ON Saturday, July 19, 2025, TWO HOURS PRIOR TO THE BRIEF.
Dodge County Airport - KUNU
There are some things you need to know about the airport at Juneau. Aircraft parking is at a premium and will be tight, taking into consideration that not only the Cessnas 2 Oshkosh aircraft will be there, but also a large number of additional transient aircraft that make Dodge County Airport (KUNU) their final stop before proceeding to the Fisk arrival gate in use. You need to exercise extreme caution during surface movement operations. Do not park on grass surfaces unless you are being directed by Wisconsin Aviation line service personnel. DO NOT PUSH YOUR PLANE BACK ONTO THE GRASS!

Picture 2 depicts a closer view of the main ramp, camping and overflow areas.
The grassy area north of the main ramp is where we pitch our tents and set camp during the two to three days we spend at Dodge County Airport (KUNU) in Juneau. A port-a-potty will be available on the east side of the tiedown area and full toilets will be available in the main building. Two showers will be available for the use of all our campers. One is upstairs in the Wisconsin Aviation building and the other is in the main hangar. Bring your own soap and shampoo, this is not a hotel! LOL. That said, there are hotels in Beaver Dam, Watertown and other towns around Juneau. To get to Beaver Dam, from the airport head north on State Highway 26 for 1.5 miles, turn west onto State Highway 33 and follow that road for 7.5 miles. To get to Watertown, from the airport head south on State Highway 26 for about 16 miles. Wisconsin Aviation and Cessnas 2 Oshkosh will provide shuttle service in our vans between Dodge County Airport (KUNU) and hotels in the area. We only ask that you pitch in to cover the cost of gas. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
As many of you know, during the week of the arrival, starting on Wednesday, July 17, there are many chores that need to be completed in order to make our event a success, like transporting equipment from the storage facility to the camping grounds in the North40, and preparing breakfast every morning at Cessna Base Camp starting the Sunday after the arrival. We are asking you to help us out. Please find what you can help with and let us know.
We look forward to meeting all of you who are new to Cessnas 2 Oshkosh and to see again all the many returning friends.
Let the fun begin!
Every pilot must program each waypoint used in the mass arrival flight into his/her GPS unit. Except POBER, all the waypoints are user waypoints.
