L. A. Miller of the Quanah Municipal Airport is the recipient of the “1996 Airport Manager of the Year” award. Pictured left, is Senator Tom Haywood presenting Mr. Miller with the award.
A flight school for foreign students keeps the airport in use year round. An airplane refurbishing business is also based at the airport. Without Mr. Miller’s leadership this airport would not be the success it is today. It is a viable airport in a small city (3,400 population) with 28 based airplanes. The airport is always open and always clean. The airport is well managed and attractively landscaped with a white picket fence and blooming flowers.
“Thanks to L. A. Miller’s leadership, Quanah Municipal Airport is an outstanding example of what a small city airport should be,” said David Fulton, Director of TxDOT’s Aviation Division. “L. A. and his wife Melba live there, and they take great care of things.”
