Developer approaches Nocona City Council about buying airport
By ERIC VICCARO
It’s been more than a decade since Nocona had an operational airport, but that could be changing soon.
Joe Stahl, a Gainesville resident, is interested in purchasing the airstrip so he could operate a small airport – and possibly a flight school.
Stahl made a presentation to the Nocona City Council on May 19, and covered the “pros” and “cons” of reestablishing an airport at the old location. Read the full story of last week’s Nocona City Council meeting. Pictured, the Nocona Airport has sat vacant for at least the past decade, but one party is interested in purchasing the airstrip and making the facility operational yet again. (Google maps)

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
Bowie High School staff and students welcomed veterans for their annual tribute and breakfast on Veterans Day. Members of the FFA, Kyle Keeler and Rylan Cole folded the American flag as each fold was explained during the ceremony.
