This award is given not just to the airport, but to the community for a job well done in all aspects of owning and operating a general aviation airport.
There are many reasons why this is an exceptional airport. The main reason is that it provides the safety and services that should be the expected standard for general aviation airports in Texas.
- It is well maintained with honest efforts given to maintaining high safety standards.
- The Airport Board and the Airport Manager work as a team to improve and maintain the facility.
- Adjacent landowners cooperate with the county and in the spirit of acknowledging the contribution made by the airport.
- The consulting airport engineers have gone be- yond the professional services agreements to satisfy the needs of the sponsor.
- Fixed base operators provide the expected ser- vices (A&P, instruction, rental, fuel, courtesy cars, rental cars, and maps).
The efforts of all parties are immediately apparent upon arrival at the airport. We congratulate the Orange County Airport as the 1995 Airport Of The Year.
