Airshark On Permanent Display At Wisconsin Airport

Builder Passed Away Before Completing His Project

An amphibious Airshark airplane has been placed on permanent display at Door County's Cherryland Airport (KSUE) in Nasewaupee, WI, after being donated by the sons of the man who was building the airplane.

The airplane was designed by Florida resident Arthur Lueck, and his two sons built a prototype which first flew in 1985. They sold about 40 kits that year in Oshkosh.

According to a report from Gannett Wisconsin Media, Ray Fulweiler of Algoma, WI bought several of the kits in the 1990s with the intent of building and selling them. Fuweiler's son Dan said while he did sell a few of the amphibious aircraft, there was at least one partially completed in his hangar when he passed away in 2005. It had sat in the hangar in Green Bay until 2007, when Dan donated that airplane to the airport. He had been contacted by the manager of Cherryland Airport in Door County who was looking for a non-military aircraft to put on outdoor display. The Airshark fit the bill nicely.

It was disassembled and shipped to Cherryand Airport, where it has been refurbished for display. Members of Fulweiler's EAA chapter assisted with the move and the work, and recently finished the painting and striping of the airplane, which bears Fulweiler's EAA number ... 557.

Now the Airshark points the way into Cerryland Airport ... and for his family at least, is a memorial to the man who built it.
