As part of a recent tour, the Independence Planning Commission had the opportunity to hear from leaders within the local aviation community and explore key areas of the Independence Airpark.

Presentations were given by:

  • Ron Singh, President of the Independence Airpark Homeowners’ Association
  • Richard Harrison, President of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 292
  • Bruce Patton, President of the Independence North Park Annex Addition Homeowners’ Association

The group toured the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) building, where members shared the work they do with local teens, including hands-on workshops and a flight simulation room. The tour continued along the Musketeer Taxiway, where several homeowners opened their hangars to showcase aircraft and ongoing projects. The evening concluded with a walk down Stryker Road to view the Marquis building, the Western Interlock site, and the surrounding area.

It was an informative and engaging evening, offering a closer look at the unique assets and community partnerships that define this part of Independence.
