Terminal Building Work Parties: January
Terminal Building; New Sign on the Roof
FLPA, in cooperation with Jon Vanderhoven, designed a new sign for the roof of the Terminal Building, which was completed and installed in January 2025. The sign was fabricated from metal and has a silhouette of the Sierra Range on the top and the hills of Death Valley at the bottom.. This project was made possible by a generous donation from a local resident. This organization could not achieve such heights without such generous support. Thank you!

FLPA got a new mower for the airport compliments of a private donation by a local. This means we can keep the weeds down on the runway as well as around the complex.

The Outdoor Bathroom Restoration Project; completed September 2023
With a generous grant from the RAF (recreational aviation foundation), and in cooperation with the County of Inyo, FLPA completed the restoration of the outdoor bathrooms in 2023. Boarded up for over a decade, this small outbuilding got a complete overhaul with FLPA volunteer Brian Forbes undertaking the lion’s share of the work. With additional volunteer labor from Joost VanStarrenburg, the roof and flashing was replaced, the building patched and painted, the interior stripped, sealed and painted, and a new distressed metal ceiling, lighting, toilets, and plumbing was installed. The County provided the roofing material and two new metal doors with keypad locks. A wooden pallet facade was created between the two doors, and finally, a mural was painted on the front of the building by local artist Jude Greenburg. These bathrooms have significantly enhanced the airport campus!

FLPA Work Parties - 2022/2023
Over the course of the past two years, FLPA has held multiple work parties addressing issues at the airport. The sprinkler system for the lawn was repaired, and the lawn was fertilized and reseeded. Weeds were pulled and debris hauled away. The sign along the highway was repainted, the terminal building was given a coat of paint, and the interior cleaned up, including tearing out old rugs, removing old equipment, cleaning, and more! It felt great to get the airport campus looking clean and cared for.

A job well done. Sign with a brighter future.
