HEBER CITY, Utah — OK3 AIR, the FBO at Heber City Municipal Airport-Russ McDonald Field (36U), has reopened for daylight operations after the first phase of a runway and apron refurbishment was completed.
Construction still continues on the field lighting electrical system, FBO officials note.
The project consisted of three separate phases. The first phase involved resurfacing the entire runway, followed by a partial reconstruction.
“We want to stress that the size and location of the runway remain exactly the same,” said Alan Robertson, CFO.
During this time, OK3 AIR also replaced the runway lighting system.
Phase two consisted of completely demolishing, then rebuilding, the apron outside the front of the FBO.
Finally, the third phase called for demolishing then relocating the lighting vault from near the fuel storage facility to the snow removal equipment (SRE) building for visibility improvement.
