Dallas Executive Airport
Dallas Executive Airport, formerly Redbird Airport, is six miles southwest of Downtown Dallas, in Dallas County, Texas. The airport is used for general aviation and is a reliever airport for Dallas Love Field.
In 2013, the Commemorative Air Force announced that they would build a "National Airbase" at Executive which would include their headquarters and main museum, both of which would be moved from Midland. As of 2016, the Commemorative Air Force has established their headquarters at the airport and currently occupies a hangar on the southeast side of the airfield. The Dallas Police Department operates their helicopter from Dallas Executive Airport.
During 2017 extensive work was done to improve the existing runway and more work is being done in 2018 to extend runway 13/31 to move the safety areas and protections zones onto the airport.Facilities
