Trust me, this is the 25th EAA convention I've worked as a
controller. Nine at Chicago ARTCC in the area that includes OSH and
sixteen at GRB TRACON. Oshkosh bound IFR aircraft without a
reservation don't get into that sector with a promise to cancel
short of OSH, they're issued a clearance limit outside of the sector.

Great! Thanks for your further input. But it still remains that he
could file to an airport outside the 30nm range of the OSH vortac,
descend below some altitude by that clearance limit, and then cancel
IFR and go to RIPON and beyond VFR. I think thats what the original
poster wanted to do by filing to FAH.

Obviously if the field is IFR or you can't do the VFR arrival due to
weather then that won't help.


The NOTAM states:

"In previous years, air traffic services in the area surrounding Oshkosh
were provided by Chicago Center. Early in 2008, Milwaukee Approach Control
assumed responsibility for this area. A reminder: you must have a
reservation number to enter this Milwaukee Approach Control airspace under
IFR."



Curious, which facility are you working this year?


Green Bay TRACON.



I'm sure it would
be too busy and too varied to actually end up talking to you on
frequency, but appreciate the help you've given.


Actually, today was the lightest pre-convention Saturday I've ever seen.
