Fisk, also known as Fisk Corners, is a small place in Wisconsin, United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called the Town of Utica, within Winnebago County.

Guiding Planes at Fisk

Fisk plays a special role for airplanes, especially during a big event called EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. This huge airshow takes place nearby at Wittman Field.

What is Approach Control?

During the airshow, a temporary air traffic control center is set up in Fisk. This center is called "Fisk Approach Control." Its job is to help guide planes that are flying into Wittman Field.

How it Works

Think of it like a helpful guide for pilots. The controllers at Fisk Approach Control use visual cues to direct planes. They help make sure planes land safely on the correct runways during this very busy time.
