Plans to expand the seaplane base at the Shawano City-County Airport continue to move forward as officials recently gathered input from several pilots.
As part of its airport improvement program through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration, the docking area for seaplanes stopping for fuel and other necessities would be expanded to accommodate more planes at any given time.
“We would be adding more docking space to make it safer for pilots to get in and out,” said Jeff Brunson, interim airport manager. “Right now, it’s a challenge.”
