The Indiana County Jimmy Stewart Airport
Stewart – a 1961 Cessna 310,” he recounts. “That airplane was restored by our local EAA chapter and then it was erected out front of the Airport on a pedestal. It’s at a bank angle and it weathervanes, so the propeller spins in the wind, and the navigation lights work after dark because it has a solar panel on it. I believe it’s the only one in the country that is on a bank angle and weathervanes at the same time. There are a lot that weathervane, but they’re flat, and some are on a bank angle, but they don’t move. So, it’s a very unique plane and an amazing structure.” Fuellner points out that, as the Airport continues to evolve, kudos go to Indiana County’s Board of County Commissioners, as well as the Indiana County Development Corporation. “That whole team is fantastic to work with,” he states. “They’re interested in seeing the Airport grow and I’m so lucky to be a part of it.” PREFERRED VENDOR n Stiffler McGraw www.stiffler-mcgraw.com Stiffler McGraw is a full-service consulting firm that offers complete civil engineering, surveying and architectural design services.
