How current are these Oshkosh flight school rates?
Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check in Oshkosh is September 12, 2026, and each card and school page shows the exact date its rates were read. The directory is re-checked on a monthly cycle. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.
Which Oshkosh airports have flight schools?

Estimates use the same method as every Wisconsin school page: PilotBound's own completion-hours model times each school's published rates, plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out.
