Airport manager: OshKosh airshow led to dozens of visitors and heavy fuel use at Chillicothe airport
Summary
Airport Manager Toby Calivere told the council the OshKosh airshow drove 191 plane arrivals, consumed about 8,000 gallons of fuel (plus 4,000 ordered), and brought dozens of visitors into Chillicothe over a seven-day stretch; staff replaced a faulty self-fueling card reader.
Toby Calivere, the Chillicothe Airport manager, briefed the council on the operational impact from the annual OshKosh airshow in Wisconsin.
Calivere reported that roughly 191 aircraft landed at the airport during the period and that about 8,000 gallons of fuel were dispensed, with an additional 4,000 gallons ordered to replenish supplies. He said 45 visitors came into town to eat, 11 stayed in local hotels and one person camped under a plane wing. Courtesy cars were used 22 times during the seven-day stretch. Calivere also noted issues with the self-fueling card reader; the unit has been replaced and the old reader is being repaired to serve as a backup.
The remarks were delivered as public comments and were informational; the council did not take further action during the meeting.
