The
Bourlands are committed to aviation and BOURLAND FIELD
AIRPORT is testimony to their dedication. The land for
the airport was purchased in 1981. It was only a farm
but the growth since has been phenomenal. BOURLAND
FIELD is one of the premier airports in the metroplex.
It has everything a pilot wants plus it's a beautiful
showpiece.
