<p class="blog-para">The airport opened with the 5,200-foot (1,580 m) runway on 12/30 around 1965. In the 1920s, Appleton's airport was George A. Whiting Field, three miles (5 km) south of town. When Northwest was awarded Contract Airmail Route No. 9 in 1926, Whiting Field became one of the original six airports in the airline's route network. Passenger service on Northwest began in 1927 but was short-lived. By 1936 the municipal airport had opened northeast of town on the south side of US 41, southeast of the intersection (44.2874&deg;N 88.3749&deg;W). At its closing, it had a 3,750-foot (1,140 m) paved runway; North Central DC-3s landed there after 1958&ndash;59 Construction of the current facility began in 1963; the field was dedicated on August 22, 1965, along with Air Wisconsin, which started operations out of the airport the next day.</p>
