Nice little airport do not currently have Self-serve fuel but are making improvements. There was a gentleman on field tending an Ag plane and he brought the fuel truck out to top us off. They have recently installed an AWOS system that will go online shortly.
My Wife and I flew down here to meet with Virgil Irwin and his wife who recently purchased the Bearhawk Aircraft Company. They gave us a tour of his facility and then we went for a demo flight in the Bearhawk 5 Airplane.
Searcy Field (now Stillwater Regional Airport) was a storage and disposal site for 475 combat airplanes after World War II. Paul Mantz purchased all 475 aircraft for $55,000 in 1944. He kept only 12 of them, selling the rest for in parts and for scrap. Between that and the sale of the fuel drained from the fleet, he made a nice profit. The remaining aircraft he used in the making of Hollywood movies.
Until 24 February 2008, the Tulsa airport is running an exhibit showing (pictures? models?) of the top 150 buildings, bridges, etc. in the U.S., as selected by the American Institute of Architects:
