SCHAUMBURG CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING |
|
|
|
Schaumburg officials along with members of the aviation community joined together on June 7 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the terminal building at Schaumburg Regional Airport. Village President Tom Dailly provided welcome remarks and encouraged attendees to view the contents of the airport time capsule that was sealed at the dedication of the Schaumburg Regional Airport Terminal Building on June 6, 1998. Some of the items in the capsule included a mason’s trowel from the groundbreaking, a site plan and renderings of the building prior to construction, pilot patches, and other stories and photos commemorating the year when the building was dedicated.
The airport is home to approximately 90 aircraft and handles about 45,000 operations per year. The airport also generates an annual economic impact of about $34 million and operates numerous successful businesses that offer flight training, aircraft and helicopter services, and much more. Construction of the terminal building has resulted in the continued success of the airport, the aviation-themed Pilot Pete’s restaurant, and the ability to enhance connections with the community through various events such as Hops and Props in the fall, Santa’s Fly-In in the winter, and the Father’s Day Pancake Breakfast. Tickets are still available for the Father’s Day Pancake Breakfast that will be held Sunday, June 18 at Schaumburg Regional Airport. For more information on the event and to purchase tickets, please visit the website.
