Tomorrow (fri) is the second anniversary of the crash of West Wind flight 280 at Fond du Lac. Arsen Fern Junior of that community died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. Fond du Lac Chief Louie Mercredi is still lobbying Ottawa for improvements to the airport. Mercredi says he went to Ottawa a week after the crash asking for improvements. He says, “At the time, a lot of promises were made. Now, two years later, my airport remains the same.” The chief wants Ottawa to widen and lengthen the runway. He says it was originally built for light aircraft carrying up to nine passengers. Now, aircraft carrying as many as 50 people are flying into the same airfield. Mercredi says, “The only way in or out for people, services, medication, and food for most for the year is with bigger aircraft.”
