Milwaukee County RC Flying Field                                                                                        
South 70th Street & West Oakwood Road – Franklin, WI        

    An advantage of the Milwaukee County field is it is in an urban county, and yet sits in the middle of 1,000 acres of Root River floodplain purchased by the county, thereby offering unlimited flying airspace, and immune from encroachment by urban development. While the R/C field is lost to use for several days each spring and summer when the Root River floods, that very flooding discourages other recreational uses from displacing the field.

    The field offers pilot pit tables and ground pit space, fenced in from spectators, and pilot station blocks following AMA safety location guidelines. Shade trees offer a park-like setting.

    While the field is operated by the RAMS on behalf of the County Parks Dept. for the public benefit, and the two clubs welcome members, having only nominal annual dues, pilots may fly simply by buying the required field license. Forms for the license, for AMA membership, or the clubs, are found in the mailbox beneath the frequency control board.
