It is home to 117 GA aircraft, four maintenance, overhaul, and restoration shops: Burrows Aviation, Dew North Aviation, Turn and Bank Aviation, and Discount Aircraft Salvage; and two flight schools, Deer Park Air Center and Northwest Flight Service that train pilots from private licenses through to instrument and commercial ratings. Deer Park also serves as a fire tanker base in the summer fire season, offering the surrounding community quick response to fire events. It is managed by Airport Manager, Darold Schultz, of Schultz’s Aviation LLC. A seven-member advisory board guides the Deer Park City Council’s decisions about the Airport’s development and policy. Schultz believes that Deer Park has certain unique qualities that set it apart from other nearby airports, including its excellent geographical position and favorable weather conditions that make it ideal for flight training when other facilities may be fogged in.
