Door County Cherryland Airport gets EAA boost
You won't confuse the Door County Cherryland Airport in Sturgeon Bay as an international hub for air traffic, but being about 100 miles away from the world's busiest airport for a week is helping it seem that way. The EAA AirVenture is entering its final days in Oshkosh this weekend, with over 677,000 people expected to attend the 10-day event. More than 10,000 aircraft make their way to Oshkosh's Wittman Regional Airport for the event, creating close to 150 takeoffs/landings per hour. Many of those airplanes travel the area while they are in town, including to Door County. Airport Maintenance Superintendent Craig Ross says as EAA AirVenture grows, so does the air traffic at Cherryland. He adds that people worldwide are stopping by to see what Door County offers.
