Benton airport gets widening repaving and name change
In Benton Kansas the airport purchased by four couples a year and a half ago has widened and repaved its runway and added hangars and a 24 hour fuel operation. The site now carries the Benton Airpark Lloyd Stearman Field name to honor Stearman aircraft roots. A $138,510 state grant covered 90 percent of the runway work, with plans for a full taxiway and more hangars. Alex Clemens completed his first Stearman solo flight there, and a Stearman fly in is planned for May or June.
