"Great getaway!! Within 2 hours of landing at OB1 we had our tent set up and we were paddling a canoe on a 10 mile trip back to our campsite. A fuel stop, cheapest around, turned into a 2 night stay.
Two good restaurants a mini mart and BBQ within a 5 min
walk, pet friendly too!
Good times!

FAA Faast Team member Jurg Grosenbacher will be discussing a loss of control fatal accident at Wisconsin's Ephraim Airport in Door County in 2016. The private pilot was flying a passenger, who was a student pilot, home after her completion of a lesson with a flight instructor. During the night arrival to a nontowered airport, the pilot descended to about 150 ft above the ground on an extended right base to the runway. He subsequently flew across the runway's final approach course and began a left turn away from the runway, which continued for about 300° until impact with 50-ft-tall trees.
One of the first maneuvers every pilot must master is the recognition of the onset of a stall and the proper recovery technique from that stall.
