This is the story of dedicated men and women who are and were the backbone of aviation. They took all they had and bought 60 acres of land 35 miles from the city and proceeded to build an airport mostly with the blood, sweat and tears from their brows. None of them saw great wealth from their endeavor however, they were doing what they loved: living and sleeping with airplanes. They fueled them, repaired them, stored them and in some cases even taught in them.
