Wisconsin Aviation (Booth 2207) is celebrating its 35th year in operation this year. The company began in 1981 with an FBO at Watertown Municipal Airport, which still serves as its corporate headquarters. It later added two more Wisconsin locations at Dodge County Airport in Juneau and Dane County Regional Airport in Madison. It is the lone service provider at all of its locations.
  
Today, the company has become one of the Midwest’s most progressive aviation service centers, offering aircraft charter/management with a fleet of more than 50 aircraft, as well as rental, sales and flight instruction for private pilot up to airline transport certificates. It also offers a full range of aircraft maintenance services, including avionics and interior work. 
  
“We want to thank our employees, loyal customers and local communities for their support over the past 35 years,” said company founder and CEO Jeff Baum, who also serves as a charter pilot on many of the company’s aircraft. “Wisconsin Aviation is committed to the communities we serve, and we look forward to continued growth.”
