Enjoy a collection of stories, documents, and photographs depicting pioneering moments in Chippewa Valley’s aviation history. Guy Wood, who became Eau Claire Airport’s first full time manager in 1976, owns a personal collection of records and photos extending back to his grandfather’s role in organizing the Eau Claire Aero Corporation in the 1920s. Guy’s management began with the area’s first major airshow and the immediate responsibilities of replacing runways and terminal building to retain commercial air service.
