As
a valuable transportation asset connecting highway systems, railways and
an international airport, the government has poured millions of dollars
into this uniquely located airport to ensure its ability to handle the
largest of air traffic under all weather conditions. Minimally utilized
for its intended purpose, the airport has proven to be arguably the best
flight training airport in the country, allowing students access to resources
normally allocated to the nations busiest airports. Combining the exceptional
features of this airport with its perfect location just east of Denver
Colorado and nearly perfect year round flying conditions, we think you
will agree it is the ideal location to flight train. |
