New Oshkosh Tower

From EAA:

Wittman Getting New Control Tower
Funding for a new $4 million air traffic control tower at Wittman Regional
Airport (OSH), home of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, was approved this week by
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle. The new tower will be about 85 feet tall
(vision height), or 20 feet taller than the existing 40-year-old tower. Its
location will be about 700 feet west of the current structure, at the
northwest intersection of Knapp and Waukau streets. Construction is
scheduled to begin in May 2004, with completion no later than July 15, 2005.

This new tower will supposedly displace some of the Fly Market at
Airventure. Wonder where they'll move it to?

Just won't feel like Oshkosh without that grand old brick tower...

We should all be happy that Oshkosh *needs* the new tower and funding
is there for it. Could be the other way around... closing down an
existing tower due to not enough activity to warrant one anymore like
at some unfortunante airports.

ATC museum, complete with tower?
Multi level observation decks? (Some inside, and air-conditioned)
The Old Tower restaurant?

My guess is that they will leave it for18/36 during the show, and use the
new tower for 9/27.

Most of that area is the Winnabago County Sheriff's office (fomerly
Shifflebein's farm). Maybe Poberenzy will finally be able to evict the
Sacred Heart cemetary from it's prime piece of real estate :-)

The Old Tower restaurant?

Will Zaug's food still taste like crap that far up?

Actually, Zaug's food is very good when it's fresh. They do better than
expected, for example, with french fries.

Problem is, it's rarely fresh.

That's sort of like the claim (common around 100 years ago in the U.S.) that a
particular physician was a great doctor when he was sober.

Is their specialty fresh beef and aged fish?
Or aged coffee and fresh wine?

Linda and I have created a new Guide Michelin rating syatem for bad
restaurants: tread marks. It gose from zero to eighteen and is a
negative award,

If a restaurant serves canned friur or vegatables, it an automatic
treadmark. Greasy food is another, etc.

Cracker Barell gets about 3; anything advertising "country cookin" or
"good eatin" gets a provisional 2.

Have fun with this one!

To be honest...I've only had BAD food from them once. Most of it isn't too
terrible (standard mass produced fare). Especially considering that it's
either that or a cold $5 McDonald's quarterpounder.

One thing I'd give them praise Zaug's for is the soft serve ice
cream.....WOW! That's a requisite stop for my crew at least 3 times during
that week.
