The forecast calls for more snow, and our annual Groundhog Chili Ski Fly-In is scheduled for next Saturday, February 2, 2019 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Brodhead Airport.

As always, fly in, drive in or walk in for a mid-winter break and join us for some winter flying. Chili and all the fixins’ will be available in the Chapter Building for a free-will donation.

Chapter 431 has long hosted an annual skiplane fly-in in the middle of the long, cold Wisconsin winters to get local pilots out of their hibernation and join us for some homemade chili and hangar flying, and for those properly dressed, some chatting and commiseration around the fire pit. The event usually falls around Groundhog Day, so the name has sort of stuck.

Please note, there is currently no 100LL available at Brodhead Airport, but Mogas is still available.

The latest edition of our popular 12-month Brodhead Airport/EAA Chapter 431 calendar is about to go to print. Order now for shipping in a week, plenty of time for Christmas. $15 plus shipping.

All photos on the calendar were taken at or near (or on the way to) Brodhead Airport within the last year.
