An aircraft used for NATO training in the 1960's is now on the parking lot in front of the terminal building.  The Harvard Mark IV "will be the first thing people see when they are coming into the airport" says Gary Hillman, executive committee member with the Red Deer Flying Club.  "This plane was the last Harvard to officially fly in Canada in 1965".
This story was reported by Erin Fawcett at the "Red Deer Express."

A study commissioned to attract additional passenger services and find new investment has been released.  1000 Central Albertans were asked about passenger service at the Airport. Travel agents and passengers were also interviewed.  Leisure travelers want to fly to Vancouver, Toronto and Kelowna.  Business travelers chose Northern Alberta as well as Vancouver and Toronto.  Other destinations chosen were Saskatoon, Las Vegas, Winnipeg, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. 70% of the respondents say they are willing to pay a premium for the convenience of flying from the Regional Airport Red Deer. Among other recommendations, the report concluded by encouraging the Regional Airport Authority to continue lobbying for capital funding to improve infrastructure at the Airport.
