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?

Not the city... Uncle Sam. It's part of the Essential Air Service program.
