Andrew, I live in Appleton, and I could pick you up at the airport and drive you down to Oshkosh. No charge, just consider it a favor to be paid forward (do something equally nice for someone else someday). Anyone else needing to be picked up at ATW (Appleton) let me know and I'll see if my schedule permits. See, lots of options... :-) Take Scott up on his offer, since he knows the airport, and the area, better than the rest of us. Hope to bump into you this year - if you sleep next to Atlas on Friday night, I will for sure meet you. Montblack |

Hey, Andrew -- you can pitch your tent on the other side of Atlas from
us, if you'd like. That's the spot we *had* reserved for Montblack, but he seems to have (*sniff*) abandoned us this year... Aw shucks, I haven't abandoned you. I'm off exploring, that's all. g Montblack 'S'okay, man, I'm just giving you a hard time. Looks like Andrew is going to pitch his tent with us, at least one of the nights he's there. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay, Appleton has had good scheduled service for some time, at
least since before 1991 (Snip) Air Wisconsin moved their maintenance down to Milwaukee a couple of years ago, but they and a few other carriers fly in regularly, many times a day. Thanks for the update. That's astonishing, really. I like Appleton -- a lot -- but what is there to justify several-times-daily airline service? Is the local city government paying some sort of a subsidy to Air Wisconsin? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

(That's when most rural airports lost their airline service.) I wonder whose butt you have to kiss to get your airport on that list? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

My town El Dorado, AR (KELD) has been under the program since the late 70's, Infact my high school job was gate agent for the ESA carrier at the time Skyways which was later purchased by Midwest. The carrier now is Mesa. I noticed on the above file Iowa City was listed but didn't have a determination you and your chamber need to get with it. Go to your congress criters that's how we did it. |

The "Fox Cities" of OSH, thru to Appleton (including about 3 or 4
others) has a fairly bustling business/industrial base. A bunch of paper companies, insurance, Kimberly-Clark, etc. I distinctly remember that OSH had the subsidized Beech 1900's coming in and out (something like "Great Lakes Air" or similar, and those planes were empty alot of the time!), but ATW I think is mostly bustling because the area is growing quite extensively. Appleton has won the business traveling crowd, hands down. Ryan W. |
