Hartford Wisconsin has a rich history, Midwest charm, and is close to Milwaukee, so we have lots of things planned for the group. Not to mention, it is close to Oshkosh and the home of EAA. You can find the planned schedule here. Convention Schedule As some events are weather dependent, the schedule may be adjusted during the week.
KFHXF is a pilot's airport. There is an active pilot community, where frequently the grills come out when the flying is done for the day. KHXF is also the home to CubAir, where you can still get old-school primary flight instruction in J-3 Cubs. Our local hosts are David Bejvan (ANS Member and Board Member), the local pilots of KHXF and Steve Krog of CubAir.
Hotel reservations are available at Cobblestone Hotel &Suites-Hartford. You MUST call the hotel directly for our group rate (under American Navion Society). The phone number is 262-670-6010. Regular king and double queen rooms are availble for &175+tax/night. Suites are available for a slight up-charge.
