Istook secures $13 million dollars for border patrol training center at Will Rogers World Airport
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Ground was broken in Oklahoma City today for a new training center for U-S Customs and Border Protection pilots.
A 20 (m) million dollar contract was awarded last month for construction of a permanent hangar to support the National Air Training Center, a flight training and maintenance facility.
The new air training center will be located at Will Rogers World Airport. Republican Congressman Ernest Istook -- who's running for governor -- obtained a total of 13 (m) million dollars for the project.
Istook says the new facility will be able to hold enough aircraft and people to meet the growing needs of Customs and Border Patrol.
The 67-thousand-500 square foot facility is scheduled to open in October 2007. Posted at 8/27/2006 02:59:00 AM
