In July we celebrated two firsts at the airport.
One of the things that makes aviation so exciting is the way it brings together the past, present, and future. At any given time, you might see vintage aircraft sharing the ramp with the newest technology in aviation.
Today is a perfect example.
On the ramp, we had a 1967 McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15F—a vintage jet built for freight operations and the largest aircraft ever to touch down at Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport.
To put that into perspective:
🛩️ 97 feet long
🛩️ 88 feet wide
🛩️ Takes up roughly one-third of our ramp space
But that’s not the only milestone that happened in July…
Also on the ramp was the BETA Technologies CX300, an all-electric aircraft representing the future of flight. This aircraft is part of a new generation of aviation technology focused on making electric flight a reality.
The CX300 recently completed a 3,064-nautical-mile cross-country journey across the United States, demonstrating the possibilities of electric aviation through extensive flight testing.
From vintage jets to electric aircraft, from slow movers to high-speed performers, that’s what makes airports like ours so special.
You never know what you’ll see on the ramp.
Old meets new. History meets innovation. And the future of aviation is taking off. ✈️
✈️ July Recap at Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport
July was one for the books at Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport!
We started the month battling smoky skies that kept many aircraft on the ground, but once conditions improved, pilots made the most of the beautiful summer weather by flying between the storms. It was great to see the airport come back to life!
As Oshkosh traffic picked up, we welcomed visiting aircraft from across the country and enjoyed seeing some truly unique airplanes stop in along the way.
This month also brought a couple of exciting milestones:
⚡ We welcomed the first all-electric aircraft to ever operate at Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport.
✈️ We also hosted the largest aircraft ever to operate at the airport—a memorable moment for our community!
By July 30, we had recorded 1,752 aircraft operations, making it another busy month of aviation activity.
Thank you to all of the pilots, visitors, tenants, and aviation enthusiasts who made July such a great month. We appreciate everyone who chose to fly with us, stop by, or simply support general aviation in our community.
We’re looking forward to seeing what August has in store!
📸 Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the month!
Would love to see us change the identifier to KACD
Love to see DeKalb Executive come to life!
