A strong infrastructure is key to becoming a Top Ten state and Oklahomans should take pride in these improvements to our state airport system.” “ U.S. SENATOR JIM INHOFE “At 7,200 feet long, this runway is the ninth-longest civilian runway in the state. It can accommodate just about any aircraft in the business jet fleet, opening the airport and the surrounding region to future economic development opportunities. I would also like to commend the City of Ponca City for taking on such a tremendous project in the height of the COVID pandemic as it demonstrates their vision and leadership in the aviation community.” 3 PONCA CITY REGIONAL AIRPORT The Ponca City Regional Airport in Ponca City, Oklahoma is celebrating the airport’s new 7,200-foot runway. The project, which began in 2020, was one of the largest single-phase undertakings at a general aviation airport in Oklahoma. The project reconstructed a majority of the runway, replaced the runway lights and guidance signs and significantly enhanced the drainage of the area. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding for the $8.1M project was directed through the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission’s (OAC) 5-year Airport Construction Program and consisted of a combination of FAA Supplemental Appropriations, Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding and Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act local matching funds. Since 2000, this airport has received over $26M in funding to support infrastructure upgrades and support the functionality and improvement of the facility. Ponca City Regional Airport plays an important role in the community and training tomorrow’s pilots and aviation professionals. Located at the airport are flight instructors who provide instruction upon request. The airport currently hosts more than 50 based aircraft including three business jets. Many local businesses utilize the airport including Community Health Systems, Albertsons, Walmart and Wyatt Construction. A large oil refinery, owned by Phillips 66, is located approximately four miles south of the airport. The airport provides easy access for executives and employees to visit the refinery for inspections and training. With aviation and aerospace as the state’s second-largest economic engine, this community is perfectly positioned for further aero commerce and tourism. 4 SECRETARY TIM GATZ TRANSPORTATION “The construction completed at this airport will ensure the viability of the runway for the next 40-plus years and provide for a great aviation infrastructure asset for the north-central Oklahoma area.” “Ponca City’s airport has a firm foundation in Oklahoma’s aviation history, from supporting the British Flying Training School during the 1940s, to being a hub for commercial service up until the mid-2000s. This new runway will renew our community’s commitment to aviation and aerospace commerce and embolden our recruitment efforts for new business.” REP. JOHN PFEIFFER, DISTRICT 38 “The new runway shows Ponca City is a growing community and values its infrastructure. This project connects two of the state’s biggest growth areas, energy and aerospace. Oklahoma will continue to grow in those areas. With a new runway, Ponca City is poised to take advantage of the future.” SEN. BILL COLEMAN, DISTRICT 10 “Ponca City’s airport generates over $10M in annual economic activity and supports 61 direct and indirect jobs for the community. We thank the Commission and the FAA for their efforts, and we look forward to welcoming new aircraft owners and businesses now that this new runway is open.” REP.

The United States Army Air Forces took over the facility in the summer of 1941 and used it as part of the British Flying Training School Program until 1944. Airline service to Ponca City began in the late 1920s when National Air Transport was doing business as United Airlines, and flew from Chicago to Dallas via Burlington, IA, Kansas City, Wichita, Ponca City, Oklahoma City, and Fort Worth. Braniff Airways, later known as Braniff International Airways, took this route over in 1934. Braniff resumed flights to Ponca City in 1946. Central Airlines replaced Braniff in 1953, merging with Frontier Airlines in 1967. Frontier continued to serve Ponca City with the 50-seat Convair 580. Frontier ended their service in 1979 after the passing of the Airline Deregulation Act and Ponca City then only saw service by small commuter airlines. Air Midwest served Ponca City from 1979 until 1981. Metro Airlines served from 1981 to 1986 with one-stop to Oklahoma City. Exec Express began service in 1986 with Piper PA-31 Navajos to Tulsa. Exec Express changed names three times over the next ten years, first to Exec Express II in 1988, then Lone Star Airlines in 1991, and finally Aspen Mountain Air in 1996. Service switched from Tulsa to Dallas/Fort Worth by the late 1980s and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliners replaced the Navajos until 1998. Big Sky Airlines took over serving Ponca City in 1999 with flights to Dallas/Fort Worth and to Denver with one stop at Enid, OK.

  • History of the Dane County Regional Airport
    History Of The Dane County Regional Airport 1920’s: Madison’s first airport Barnstormer Howard Morey of Chicago, Edgar Quinn and J.J. McMannamy organized the Madison Airways Corporation. Located near highways 12 and 18 on the south shore of Lake Monona, Madison’s first airport was born. In 1927, the Royal Rapid Transit Company (RRTC) purchased the Madison Airways Corporation. The airport was quickly renamed the Royal Airport and the Royal Airways Corporation (RAC). RRTC provided Madison with the first cabin airplane (which sat five passengers) and the first airline to provide daily service to Chicago. In 1927, the City of Madison purchased 290 acres of land for $35,380. Previously a cabbage patch for a nearby sauerkraut factory, the newly acquired land would later become the present day home of the Dane County Regional Airport. In 1928, RRTC discontinued service to Chicago and liquidated its assets. 1930’s: Madison’s first airplane manufacturing plant Madison welcomes the first airplane manufacturing plant – the Corben Sport Plane Company. Corben designed and produced his semi-built “Super Ace” kits, which included converted Fort Model A motors. In 1934, Corben left Madison amid bankruptcy. Wisconsin artist Cal Peters, in 1936, painted a Depression Era mural of his vision of what the Madison Municipal Airport would be. The mural depicted a terminal building along Highway 51, and two crosswind runways. The restored mural is displayed in the Greeter’s lounge in the center of the main terminal. In January of 1936, the city council voted to accept a WPA grant for construction of four runways and an airplane hangar.

  • Master Plan Update Appendix F
    APPENDIX F – AIRPORT BACKGROUND Introduction The appendix provides a broad background related to the airport with information covered in the following sections: General History Management/Governing Structure Airline/FBO/Major Tenant History Planning History General History Minot The origins of the City of Minot date back to 1887 during the Dakota Territory land boom, when the Great Northern Railroad made its way through the prairie. From its humble beginnings as a small railroad town, Minot experienced phenomenal growth during the early years of the 20th Century. Minot is home to about 46,000 people and is the regional hub of commerce, health care, finance, agribusiness, education, industry, transportation, and tourism in the area for a total of 76,000 people. The economies of the surrounding predominately rural counties are closely intertwined with Minot. Minot earned its nickname as the ‘Magic City’ after the town virtually sprang up overnight in 1886 growing to 5,000 residents in a few months. Minot International Airport (MOT) Minot's first airstrip was developed by the Minot Park District in the late 1920's on a 20 acre tract in the southern portion of present airport property. The dedication of the "Port of Minot" was held on July 23, 1928 to coincide with the "Ford National Reliability Tour", an event typical of the "barnstorming" days. The Park District eventually transferred all airport property acquired over time to the City of Minot in 1943. The original runway had an east-west orientation. Improvements (i.e., grading, apron area, and lighting) were provided by the Works Progress Administration prior to World War II.

  • Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.

  • Aviation History in Brownwood, Texas
    Aviation History in Brownwood, Texas By Frank T. Hilton December 17, 1903 The first controlled, power and sustained heavier-than-air human flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. October 4, 1913 Post office Department at Washington, D. C. established areoplane mail service between Brownwood and Comanche, Texas. Lester Miller flew one trip each day, October 10, 11, 12, 1913, during the Free Fall Fair. October 7, 1914 Miss Katherine Stinson, the youngest aviator in the world made daily flights at Brownwood Free Fair. She took passengers up for $25.00 per person. March 3, 1920 Lieutenants R. W. Lutz and F. E. Monor of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, flew a new Curtis plane over Brownwood, using the landing field west of the end of Austin Avenue as their base. “Airplanes flew over Brownwood and there was a local airport near Willis Creek near 12th and 13th streets,” John A. Thomason said. He described it as a north-south runway that looked like two straight dirt paths that accommodated the wheels for take-offs and landings.” November 10, 1929 The Brown County Fair Association decided to permit airplanes coming to Brownwood to use the fifty acres inside the mile race track.
