Geocache Description:

Silver Wings is not a Jimmy Buffett origional song. It was first recorded by Merle Haggard. Buffett recently used this song as a cover on his "Take the Weather With You" Album.

This is one in a continuing series of caches that I am naming after songs by Jimmy Buffett.

Music is as much a part of my life as breathing and food. The music that has influenced my calming nature has been Jimmy Buffett. He is the master of blending lyrics and leisure. Through this series I would like to introduce you to his music, as well as hide them somewhat consistently with some of the lyrics or storyline of the song.

I chose this location as it is home to the Larson Brothers Airport.

Kid Friendly Lesson
The Larson Brothers Airport was the first airport in Winnebago County and one of the earliest Wisconsin airports outside Milwaukee. It housed the first Wisconsin agency selling government approved planes, and for 20 years served as a center for state aviators. This well-maintained airport represents one of the earliest forms of airport design in Wisconsin. The first airport in Wisconsin was established at Milwaukee in 1919, followed soon after by similar facilities at Green Bay, Janesville, LaCrosse and Racine. Among these early airports was the Larson Brothers Airport, which opened in the town of Clayton in 1922. It was the first of three in Winnebago County, followed by Oshkosh Airport in 1927 and Whiting Airport in the town of Menasha in 1928. Of those three airports the Larson Brothers Airport is the only one to mantain its original hangar and sod landing field. The white building across the field is the origional Larson Brothers Hangar.
