WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR AIRPORT STORIES!
In August, we will be celebrating the 90th anniversary of Crites Field with everyone who makes this airport what it is today. As we honor the history of the field, we want to hear what the airport means to you, directly from the members of our community!
We are putting together a short video to play at the celebration on August 16th. (Think of the outstanding documentary One Six Right-- just much shorter!) Our goal is to include the faces and voices of Crites Field, with many of the folks who make our airport great. You can film your own response to one of the questions below and upload your video to a link (provided later).
In your video, you can answer one of the following questions:
- What is your favorite airport memory?
- What is your first memory of Crites Field/Waukesha County Airport?
- Who introduced you to Crites Field?
- What do you find unique or special about this airport?
- What draws you to Crites Field?
- What does this airport mean to you?
Guidelines for each video response:
- Use a cellphone to record your response in selfie-mode or have someone record you -- at arm's length for best sound quality.
- Orient the picture in landscape/horizontal mode.
- Choose a quiet location (maybe with your airplane!)-- some place without wind or excessive background noise with a presentable background
- Limit your response to about 30 seconds.
Please submit your videos by July 18th, 2025.
The submitted responses will be compiled into a video to share at the 90th Anniversary celebration, and each video may be edited or shortened for timing constraints. Depending on the number of submissions, we may not be able to include every individual response.
If you are interested in submitting a video response or have any questions, please reach out to Kurt Stanich at kstanich@waukeshacounty.gov
Thank you! And we look forward to hearing from you!
