[5] It became a public-use airport in 1959 upon receipt of federal funding for runway improvements. The first jets were based at the airport in 1962. [5]

Potential ignition sources are present in almost all oxygen systems, but fire hazards can be mitigated by controlling the risk factors associated with the oxygen, fuel, or heat, which can limit the ...
