Taking Off at Mitchell International - Full Show

Jeff Sherman is joined in-studio by Wisconsin’s Afternoon News Host John Mercure and Mitchell International Airport Director of Public Affairs Harold Mester to talk about our latest WTMJ Cares initiative to restore Bay View native and Vietnam combat veteran Lance Sijan. John says we have already raised $75,000.
-Jeff asks John about the people that helped him and WTMJ on the way with yesterday’s Radiothon.
Jeff and Harold Mester talk more about Lance Sijan’s legacy. They also talk about the state of business travel, if it’s back and how it has improved; plus, the potential impact of the Brewers’ post-season run and adding new destinations.
Coffee Index: Jeff went to Fairgrounds on the East Side; Jaslyn went to the Dunkin in the Chase building but of course there are Dunkins at MKE.
What are some new destinations for MKE? And what amenities and functions at the airport would Harold want to improve? And what about improving transit to the airport? Jeff also poses the self-driving car question to Harold.
Jeff asks Harold for funding updates on the construction of the new international wing for the airport. Jeff also hits him with some rapid-fire questions.
