✈️ 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!
