As some of you may have heard, yesterday morning Mr. Joey (Gordo) Sanders of Sanders Aviation in Jasper had a devastating hanger fire. He lost 2 aircraft and a lot of his historical memorabilia. If anyone has military pictures or older photos of Mr. Gordo, please reach out to them at Sanders and get them some copies. Insurance can pay for airplanes but only true friends can replace the keepsakes of years past.

The Sanders Aviation East Hangar located at The Walker County Airport / Bevill Field was destroyed by fire early in the morning of October 8th. The fire marshal was on the scene to investigate the cause. We are thankful that no one was injured. All training aircraft and training facilities located at the flight school were not affected. We would like to thank our volunteer fire departments, police, EMS and sheriff’s department for their help. We are forever grateful.

For questions, please contact Jessica Walker: [email protected] or 205-435-6529.
