If you have driven by the Air Park recently, you will notice a lot of construction going on. This fall, funding was acquired to upgrade the walkways from gravel to concrete. This improvement to the pathways will greatly add to the accessibility of the Park. In addition, the Labrador and Piasecki helicopters will have permeant cement pads for their landing gear. The project also includes a set of pads for the eagerly awaited arrival of the Park’s newest resident, a retired Aurora aircraft.
