Wittman Regional Airport is a county owned, public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) south of the central business district of Oshkosh, a city in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, United States.〔 The airport was named after pioneer air racer and aircraft designer and builder Steve Wittman in 1972.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Wittman Airport Story )〕 Originally named Winnebago County Airport, it is also known as Wittman Field. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a ''general aviation'' facility, but has serviced aircraft as large as the Boeing 747, Airbus A380, Concorde and Boeing B-52 Stratofortress The airport has been served by commercial airlines in the past. Service was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program until March 2003,〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Order 2003-2-20 ) 〕 when it was terminated due to federal law not allowing a subsidy over $200 per passenger for communities located within 210 miles of the nearest large or medium hub airport (General Mitchell International Airport, a medium hub serving Milwaukee, Wisconsin).〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Order 2002-12-24 ) 〕 As per Federal Aviation Administration records, Oshkosh had 2,606 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2001, 1,797 enplanments in 2002,〔 〕 and 548 in 2003.〔 〕 == Facilities and aircraft == Wittman Regional Airport covers an area of 1,392 acres (563 ha) at an elevation of 808 feet (246 m) above mean sea level. It has four runways: 18/36 is 8,002 by 150 feet (2,439 x 46 m); 9/27 is 6,179 by 150 feet (1,883 x 46 m); 5/23 is 3,697 by 75 feet (1,127 x 23 m); 13/31 is 3,061 by 75 feet (933 x 23 m).〔 For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2010, the airport had 90,971 aircraft operations, an average of 249 per day: 99% general aviation, <1% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 164 aircraft based at this airport: 74% single-engine, 23% multi-engine, 3% jet, and 1% helicopter.〔 As with many larger airports, Wittman Field's expansion over the years has necessitated the closure of nearby roadways and acquisition of nearby parcels of land. In particular, Knapp Street (running parallel to the runways) has been permanently closed near the airport to facilitate the expansion of the grounds in that area (for the annual EAA Airventure.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wittman Regional Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
