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.

Wow, I thought most of those subsidies had been eliminated back when the air
mail routes were consolidated in the early 1970s. (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?
