Superintendent Summarizes 1962
Activities at Soldotna Airport
M. L. “Red” Grange, who di
rected actual construction activi
ties this past year on the im
provement program at the Sol
dotna airport, said construction
started in mid-summer adding 800
feet to the length and 50 feet to
the width of the runway. Other
work included taxiway to the
terminal, a loading ramp, tiedown
areas for small planes, drainage
ditches, clearing, and the rerout
ing of the Funny River Road. An
A and E shop was put in opera
tion by Jim Adams.
Lights on the runway were in
stalled as was a rotating beacon.
Weather station equipment was
installed during the year to give
aviation weather and to record
maximum and minimum tempera
tures and precipitation. Joanna
(Mrs. Ed) Hollier and Grange
were authorized by the U. S.
Weather Bureau as official ob
servers. With the turning on of
airport lights, Cordova Airlines is
installing instrument landing de
vices for night and minimum
weather operation.
All construction o p er ations
were done under the supervision
and guidance of the Federal Avi
Ed Meyer’s Ridgeway Feed Co.

ation Agency. The aviation wea
ther is taken hourly at the Sol
do tna Airport and is called to the
F.A.A. in Kenai where it is sent
by teletype to all Alaska stations.
Construction was accomplish
ed through the Federal Airport
Act whereby the City of Soldot
na furnished 37 Va % and the Fe
deral government 62*4% of the
funds.
“Too much praise cannot be
given for the donated labor by
citizens of Soldotna,” Grange said.
“From the very beginning, the
State Highway engineers spent
many hours in the evenings and
on Sundays in staking the project
before construction started. Space
will not permit the printing of all
names of those who donated time
and labor—but our thanks go to
them all.”
The Soldotna Kart Club track
was built on airport land and
will be paved during the coming
season, Grange added in reporting
airport activities of 1962.
Paper work for an application
for funds to pave the runway and
apron are now being put into
shape to present to Federal Avia
tion Agency.
Grange, who is also Soldotna
manager for Cordova Airlines,
added that Cordova also wishes
to thank the community for sup
port received in 1962 and that
even better service is proposed
for 1963 with schedules based to
suit the flying public.
In the near future, a schedule
is being woi-ked out to allow per
sons to spend an entire day in
Soldotna or in Anchorage and
reach home in early evening.
With the completion of installa
tion of lights and landing aids,
Cordova also hopes to set up

“One thing must be kept in
mind by the citizens of the area,”
Grange said, "that is the fact that
it takes traffic to keep an airline
coming in here . . . The final
traffic figures presented to the
Civil Aeronautics Board for an
operating certificate by Cordova
Airlines will determine our air
line service. We certainly do not
want what Oakland, Calif., has
—a multi-million dollar airport
and no airlines!’'
