Twenty-five years later, we remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed that day. From airports across our nation to communities around the world, that day changed how we view travel. Today, we honor those we lost, those who served, and the families and communities who carried on. We will always remember.

Apparently, our post about the old airport beacon being removed left a few questions. Let’s clear things up:

#1 — Is there still a beacon?
Yep! A shiny new (smaller) Airport Beacon is now installed on top of the Control Tower.

#2 — Why was it moved?
It was part of a larger project to upgrade the airport’s airfield lighting and navigational aids to LED. That means lower operating and maintenance costs. The old beacon had also reached the end of its useful life.

#3 — Why put it on the tower?
We looked at several locations as part of the Master Plan. The Air Traffic Control Tower came out on top because it keeps future development options open, allows for easier maintenance and avoids airspace issues.

So, there you have it. The beacon isn’t gone. It just has a new address.

And just like that, the light went out on an era. For generations, our historic airport beacon was a familiar sight in the night sky. Manufactured in the 1950s and repainted in the 1980s, it helped guide the way while becoming a beloved piece of EAU history.

Last week, it made its final trip down. This beacon may be gone from our skyline, but the memories are still shining bright.

Summer may be coming to an end, but the vacation opportunities are only getting better at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport. From October 2 through December 7, Sun Country airlines will offer nonstop flights from Eau Claire to Las Vegas.

We love our Chippewa Valley community, but if you need a little escape to the city that never sleeps this fall, there's an affordable plane ticket calling your name.
