The Colorado Pilots Association honored the Fremont County Airport on November 10th in Denver with presentation of a General Aviation Airport Award. The airport and its' manager, Richard Baker, were nominated by Phyllis Wells whose letter was endorsed by thirty-five other airport users. Wells is a member of the Pilots Association.
In Wells' letter she praised the services of the Fremont County Airport as a user friendly airport and said the airport management team is the airport's strongest asset. She noted that Baker is a pilot, a veteran, and a longtime local resident who is dedicated to his job and has been successful in securing a number of grants for airport improvements.
Baker said it was an honor to receive the award from the pilots. Baker said "It's a team effort with the county that supports the facility, the elected officials, the maintenance central shop that takes care of the equipment, and the finance department for funding of the airport".
District 2 County Commissioner Larry Lasha said the commissioners have historically and are currently very supportive of the airport. Lasha said "We are proud of the accomplishments and all the hard work the Airport Advisory Board does along with Richard Baker who have worked on safety issues and the airport itself".
