71 AVIATION VIEW APRIL 2021 AIR YAKIMA MCALLISTER FIELD Meeting the community’s needs A new year means new construction for Yakima Air Terminal – McAllister Field. Airport Director Robert Peterson met with Federal Aviation Administration officials in early January to review a five-year capital plan that includes a $3 million rehabilitation of the east general aviation apron set to take place this summer. Once that’s finished, focus will turn to a 12-acre expansion to the south that could be further development for general aviation activity. It’s all part of a continual effort to meet the needs of the Yakima, Washington community and the aviation industry. Yakima Air Terminal – McAllister Field provides the Yakima Valley with valuable air transportation services and facilities.
