Geocache Description:

Easy access and plenty of parking at N 38' 30.803 W 121 30.008--use the cross walk.

More than what meets the eye--greenbelts and urban buffer zones
come in all kinds of shapes and forms to serve the community--not
just traditional recreational parks. Night or day, go visit and sit
in the public gardens at the entrance or the restaurant and watch
the comings and goings of an air park. Take-offs and landings can
be interesting and as tranquil as viewing a river. The entrance is
nicely landscaped with ample parking and graced with a great piece
of moving public art titled "Early Bird" which adds character to the terminal.

Executive
Airport was originally known as Sutterville Aerodrome when it
opened in 1930. The city-owned facility steadily expanded and, by
1941, construction was underway to pave and extend the airport's
three runways. The U.S. Army Corps later took over the airport
during World War II. Following the war, control was returned to the
city and the facility was officially renamed Sacramento Municipal
Airport. During the late 1940's and early 1950's, improvement
projects included parking and taxiway paving, water and sewer
systems, and runway/taxiway lighting. The terminal building was
constructed in 1955 along with some navigational aids and
T-hangars. In October 1967, commercial airline operations were
moved to the newly opened Sacramento Metropolitan Airport and
Sacramento Municipal Airport was renamed Sacramento Executive
Airport. The County of Sacramento also became the operator of both
airports at that time. Since then, Executive Airport has become
Northern California's primary general aviation airport, offering a
wide range of general aviation services. Executive Airport has
always been an important asset to the greater Sacramento area.

Executive is self-supporting; receiving no city, county, or tax
money. All operating expenses are paid for with some income derived
from businesses and individuals who use the airport's facilities. (visit link)
