Product Details & Size Guide
Introduce little aviation fans to a memorable chapter of regional flight with this Midstate Airlines toddler tee. Founded in Wisconsin in 1964, the airline connected communities such as Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids with Milwaukee and Chicago. Its changing fleet, from Beechcraft aircraft to Metroliners, reflects the resourceful spirit of upper Midwest air travel. A thoughtful pick for family outings, aviation gatherings, or a young collector’s first connection to airline history.
Founded by Roy P. Shwery in 1964, Midstate Airlines was based in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and served communities from Marshfield and Central Wisconsin Airport. Its early Beechcraft Model 18s and later Beech 99s flew routes linking Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, Milwaukee, and Chicago. By the early 1970s, service also reached Hayward and Ashland, with Ashland flights from Minneapolis–St. Paul. In 1977, the airline moved to 19-passenger Swearingen Metroliners. It later expanded its fleet, adding six Fokker F27 turboprops in 1984, and at its peak served 15 cities across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, as well as Chicago O’Hare. Sentry Insurance acquired the airline from Shwery, then resold it to CEO and investor Bryce Appleton in 1986. That year, Midstate subleased Fokker aircraft to Chicago Air and provided its maintenance at Central Wisconsin. After Chicago Air entered bankruptcy, Appleton acquired Midstate’s remaining assets from Sentry. Midstate sold its O’Hare slots, continued operating Metroliners with a Milwaukee hub, and reduced its service. It shifted to charter flying and ceased operations in 1989.
