Did you know today is Lyndon B. Johnson day!
Johnson’s birthday marks the beginning of one of the most complex and consequential political lives of the 20th century. The Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, is named after the late U.S. President and Texas native Lyndon B. Johnson. Originally established in 1961 as the Manned Spacecraft Center, it was renamed in honor of President Johnson on February 19, 1973. The renaming recognized his crucial role in shepherding the 1958 legislation that established NASA and his continuous advocacy for space exploration.

On August 27, we remember not just the man, but the era he helped shape.

Tenants and users-

The second phase of our construction project is underway here at LBX. With the transition and observation of activities and traffic patterns, it is important to me that we send out some reminders and additional information to help with use of the airport during this time period.

Parallel Taxiway A is closed to all terminal and hangar area traffic south of Taxiway F/now known as Taxiway E in front of the restaurant. All t-hangar traffic, 100LL self-fueling traffic, and terminal apron parking must enter and transition to and from these areas using Taxiway F/now known as Taxiway E.

Upon landing on Runway 17, pilots have the option of exiting on rollout at the newly designated A2 taxiway entry/exit from the runway, or after passing A2, they may choose to turn and to back taxi on the runway to A2 for exit. Please note that the southernmost area of taxiway A is open between the Runway 35 approach end and Taxiway B. This area is only available for entering and exiting from the runway at the south end.

For departures on Runway 35, pilots may elect to use the remaining runway available for a north departure, or back taxi to a location suitable for a desired runway length. Again, Taxiway A between Taxiway B and the approach end of Runway 35 is still open and available for run-up or while communicating with ATC.

Due to the extraordinarily high volume of traffic using Taxiway F /now known as Taxiway E, in front of the restaurant and to protect wing tip clearances for large corporate aircraft using the airport and terminal apron through this area, there is currently no parking in front of the restaurant. Please observe and respect the barricades that are in please. There also continues to be no parking in the private apron area of Bristow immediately north of the restaurant. All patrons are welcome to park in front of the terminal building. Please contact staff on UNICOM or follow directions of staff actively parking aircraft at busy restaurant times.

Finally, all users must review NOTAMs and respect the closed areas of the airport. Barricades are in place to denote the closed and unsafe areas. It is absolutely unsafe and hazardous to aircraft and occupants to enter a closed area of an airport.

Please take the time to study the attached illustration that has been created for your use and your safety. Always contact a member of our staff of you have any questions about the current status of any areas on the airport or need assistance with transiting through open areas of the airport.

We currently anticipate 60 days of work for this phase, not counting any weather or other unforeseen conditions. Please be patient and understanding of our project and our need to improve the airport to a reliable and modern condition.

Jeff Bilyeu, Aviation Director

Today we celebrate the incredible history, development, and achievements of flight. August 19 was chosen for this special day—established in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt—to honor the birthday of Orville Wright. Alongside his brother Wilbur, Orville changed the world forever by inventing the first successful powered airplane.

From a 12-second flight at Kitty Hawk to exploring the skies and beyond, we tip our hats to the pioneers of aviation and everyone who keeps us flying today!

This day in aviation history:
On August 15, 1935, pioneering aviator Wiley Post and famous American humorist Will Rogers died in a tragic plane crash. The accident occurred in dense fog just 15 miles from Point Barrow, Alaska, when their custom hybrid aircraft suffered an engine failure and nosedived into a lagoon. The crash abruptly ended the life of one of America's greatest aviation pioneers. Post is celebrated for several monumental achievements:
• Around the World Records: He set the world record for circling the globe in 1931 with Harold Gatty, and in 1933 became the first pilot to fly solo around the world.
• High-Altitude Innovation: Post was a trailblazer in high-altitude flight, testing one of the very first practical pressure suits and helping discover the jet stream.
• Legacy: The wreckage of his iconic Lockheed Vega, the Winnie Mae, is permanently preserved in the National Air and Space Museum.
