Upgrades to the Viewing Area (SW corner of airport)
Last week, a rebuild of the Brick-Paver area has been completed at the public viewing area.
The tear out of the existing Brick-Paver area and the excavation of the new area was completed by Steve Mushrush and his airport staff. The airport also provided the extra bricks.
The rebuild was completed by Tulsa Paver Designs (918.406.7473) and funded by a donation from a JRAA member. The pavers are on a 7" bed of crushed stone and a 1" bed of sand, and finished with a special polymeric sand in the joints. The engraved pavers are spread throught the field with room to add more in the future.
