Camp Scholler without a car?

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.

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, 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.
Check this link you'll be amazed...

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?

It's a bustling little airport.

Have you sent out your big white Alexis Park Inn sign to have Iowa City
added to it?

It was shortly after that when the program was started. 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.
