New Tower Construction Begins at
KOSH
Oshkosh visitors this summer will notice a
significant, new element on the EAA AirVenture grounds as construction
of Wittman Regional Airport's new $7 million air traffic control tower
is well under way. Work is expected to continue up until about the week
before EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007, by which time the shaft and base
building should be completed. Work will then resume after the
convention. The new structure will be about twice as high (120 feet
eye-level vs. 60 feet) as the existing tower, which has been the focus
or the backdrop to literally millions of photographs over the years. The
new tower is located just north of the FAA building, east of Convention
Headquarters, and should be completed in the spring of 2009.
