July 24, 2009 Report:

Broken Bow -- no new projects.

Wilburton - Manager John Hart reports that the airport would like to participate in projects with the FAA and the OAC.  The current needs include runway lights.

Ardmore Municipal -  Chris Bryant is the manager.  Chris is very intersted in being an active part of OAOA.  The runway extension for runway 17/35 is nearly complete.  As we would all confess, Chris says that he needs more money. 

Ada Municipal - Terry Hall reports that the taxiway reconstruction and realignment project is nearly complete.  This project includes new taxiway lights and the first LED signs in the state.  The City has contracted with Heartland Aviation as the temporary FBO.   This year's Ada Air Expo was very successful.
