The Limestone County Airport has been upgraded and renovated, and this weekend Texas Aviation Division Director David Fulton flew in to dedicate the enhanced facility. Buddy Miller, who operates Mexia-based Trim Aire Aviation, says that Fulton was enthusiastic about airport operations, and pleased with the level of county support and the involvement of interested citizens. Although the airport ramp has been expanded, Fulton suggested the airport's vigor might soon mandate even more aircraft parking. Miller says the ramp does indeed fill with business aircraft during the week. More services and better airport facilities will mean more traffic, and that's why the county has provided more tie-down spaces at the Limestone County Airport.
More air traffic is good news for the area.
Not only do thirsty corporate aircraft make nice fuel customers for the county, the steadily increasing level of business traffic shows that support for larger businesses in Limestone County is paying off. According to Fulton, airports are strong cornerstones in every successful economic region in the country. One appealing feature of the Limestone County Airport is the self-serve fuel station. However, the PAPI lights are more precise, and give pilots better visual cues during final approach. Pilots used to the older setup won't have any trouble with the new PAPI devices, though.
