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. Jay, Appleton has had good scheduled service for some time, at
least since before 1991 when I moved here to take a job as an avionics tech
with Air Wisconsin/United Express. The job didn't last long though; I was
laid off 9 months later, on April 1, 1992... Now I work at Pierce Mfg, the
USA's largest firetruck manufacturer. 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. Pierce is under the approach path to
runway 29 at ATW, so I get to see a lot of BAe-146s, Canadair RJs, and
Dorniers amongst others. Gulfstream also has a completion center here, so
you can occasionally see some pretty fancy corporate jets.
