Thread: Sundance Airport Sold

My son-in-law is the architect on project - it's going to look very nice when done!

I never even knew the place existed....cool.

Me either!

I wish the guy well. The City of OKC doesn't do a good job of managing their general aviation airports (Wiley Post & Clarence Page), and the previous owners of Sundance similarly neglected that private airport at NW Expressway & Sara Road. The OKC Department of Airports dragged their feet for more than a decade on making improvements to meet consumer demands, while both Downtown Airpark and Expressway Airpark were closed. Meantime, the cities of Edmond & Guthrie worked together to expand, improve and promote what is now known as the Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport, and aircraft owners in N OKC & Edmond are basing their aircraft there.

Hunter could hit it out of the park on this. They have a good runway with good instrument approaches in place, the competition from Wiley Post is negligible, the turnaround should be fairly simple, and he's well-capitalized.

They aren't exactly the greatest at managing WRWA either...

What firm is doing the project?

Michael Allen Riley, PLLC - he's in LeFlore County but up and coming with projects throughout the state.

His website is still a work in progress - he's been overloaded with projects in multiple locations. I know he'll be looking for an intern and/or draftsman by this summer if anyone is interested.

(note - I think he's brilliant, of course - but so, evidently do a lot of other companies, school districts, municipalities and individuals)
