Keating also noted that the airport does not charge the military for use of the airfield. During the months of January, February, and March, the airport will be bustling with activity. “I think we should feel very fortunate that the military has chosen our airport to help train and prepare our Navy’s future pilots”, Keating noted. In addition to the increased military activity at Laughlin/Bullhead, Kingman Airport and possibly other surrounding airports will also see an increase in military activity. Approximately 150 military personnel and military contractors will cycle through the airport during the training. The three-month operation will consist of daily operations of the Beechcraft T-6B, a turbo prop trainer aircraft. Airport Director, Jeremy Keating, states, “The Navy is choosing our airport primarily because they require good weather for this particular stage of pilot training”. The Airport along with Landmark Aviation will provide facilities and logistics support for the Navy personnel while they are here for approximately three months.
