The holidays may be over, but it’s not too late for one last gift to Wisconsin aviators. It’s a new public-use airport! Sullivan Airport (W11) is located about 15 miles west of Waukesha near the Village of Sullivan. Formerly known as McDermott Airpark, the airport came under new ownership in 2019 and transitioned to public-use in late 2021. Runway 06/24 is a 4,558’ by 50’ paved runway and the airport has plans to add a turf runway in 2022. The airport offers 100LL, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, and aircraft rental. Hangars are also available to rent. As a public-use airport, Sullivan Airport is now part of the “Fly Wisconsin Airport Passport Program,” so stop by and get your stamp today! Find out more and get in contact with the airport at www.sullivanairport.com.
Fox River Airport
Brennand Airport
Conversely, two formerly public-use airports changed to private-use in 2021. Fox River Airport in Rochester and Brennand Airport in Neenah are no longer open to the public. However, the airports are not closing. Anyone who wishes to land at either airport should contact the airport owner for prior permission. Similarly, Sweetwater Bay Seaplane Base near Oconto has also changed from public to private-use. Unfortunately, flooding has rendered the seaplane base unusable for the foreseeable future.
Finally, Jana Airport (58C), a public-use airport near Edgerton, was sold in 2021. The new owners have decreased the width of the runway to 70’ and the overall future of the airport is uncertain. As always, check NOTAMs prior to all flights to help avoid unwelcomed surprises.
