Earlier this month, B.J. Goral stopped by our office with an interesting piece of local history that was too good not to share. This photo comes from a 1949 issue of The Green Bay Press-Gazette and shows the first-ever passengers to fly out of Green Bay from Austin Straubel Airport on a regularly scheduled airline in October 1948. As it turns out, the first commercial fliers from Green Bay were native to the Denmark area.
