AirVenture with a splash
By James Wynbrandt

Looking for a refreshing break from the hubbub of Wittman Field? Try your EAA AirVenture 2006 with a splash. The EAA Seaplane Base on the shore of Lake Winnebago showcases a different side of aviation. Quiet and laid back, here water-worthy aircraft from large amphibians to ultralights on floats bob at anchor or rest against the shore. Shuttle buses from the Amphibian parking area on the AirVenture flightline operate from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily ($2 round trip). The popular annual Watermelon Social pig roast will be held Saturday, July 29, at 5:30 p.m. ($12 in advance; $14 at the door). Says EAA Seaplane Base Chairman Paul Seehafer, "Pull up a little spot of grass on the shoreline, just watch airplanes, or enjoy the lake, or bring your swimming trunks and go swimming."
