Addison Airport

Résumé du livre

Sixty Years of Business Aviation LeadershipAs Addison Airport celebrates sixty years of operation, it remains a vibrant element in the culture of Addison, Texas. With approximately 95,000 flight operations a year, it serves as a significant aviation resource for Dallas County and the North Texas region. The airport's success validates the foresight and conviction of the six World War II veterans who invested their time and treasure to turn a 400-acre cotton farm into a large business aviation facility. Self-supporting through its own revenue, it directly or indirectly generates over 3,200 jobs as a significant economic engine for Addison and the surrounding area. Throughout its history, Addison Airport has been the site of many aviation milestones, including being the first privately owned airport to have a federally operated control tower and the first to install sophisticated electronic navigational aids. On a more local scale, it was also the site of Addison's first dining establishment. Through over one hundred pages of fascinating historical accounts and many never-before-published color photographs, read the history of this unique airport-one of the very few allowed to conduct flight operations the day after 9/11 and the only one in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex never to close during the Groundhog Day Blizzard in 2011. Join the citizens of Addison, Texas, in celebrating their pride in one of the largest and busiest general aviation airports in the nation, with long traditions of outstanding customer service, attention to aesthetics, strong and innovative leadership, and operational efficiency.
