Concrete Airport Has A New Name
Today was a big day here in Concrete. The airport has a new name, Mears Field. The town of Concrete and people on the airport dedicated the new name this morning in honor of long time airport manager and resident, Jack Mears. Jack lives right next door to the front gate and has acted as caretaker, watchman and manager for many years.
A bit overwhelmed by the event, Jack was willing to pose by the new sign for a few moments despite seeming a bit uncomfortable with all the attention.
After a breakfast dedication, there was a three ship fly by to mark the first flight at the newly named Mears Field.
