Stockmar Airport had been in Doggie Stockmars’ family since gold was being mined on the land. Following his death, Earl Small Jr. purchased the airport in 2000. From 2000 to 2005, Earl Small renovated the runway accumulating more than 378,000 cubic yards of dirt and rock where sections of the airport were relocated, resurfaced and re-leveled to its current 4500′ paved runway with 25′ buffers. Today this airport is home to a close community of pilots with a variety of planes.
This airport is one of less than 35 private operating airports with an FAA approach, the only within close proximity to a metropolitan city over 5 million people.
