THESE AIRPORT LEADERS ARE HOMEGROWN Both Gosnell and Adamson have long relationships with North Platte Regional Airport. Adamson says that he has been riding his bike out to the field since he was 12 years old. “I have an interest in seeing this place growing and operating and being the best airport we can be,” he shares. Gosnell grew up in North Platte, studied fire science at college in Lincoln, worked for that city’s road department, and ultimately moved back to North Platte as an operations supervisor at the airport, running all the projects and the fire department. “That was awesome because it was what I went to school for,” he says. “I was also familiar with taxiway construction because I spent 12 years at the Department of Roads in Lincoln, learning engineering and working on road projects. Six years ago, I became Operations Manager, and last fall, I was promoted to Airport Manager.” For both these leaders, it’s more than just a job.“I love the projects that we work on, the fire department, the people flying in and out, building a regional airport with a strong GA presence, growing our regional flights to Denver, and just growing the airport,” Gosnell declares. “There’s something different every day. It’s an exciting field to be in.” 10 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 07
