Jack Edwards Airport has airplane maintanence facilities with History Jack Edwards was originally a U.S. Navy property for an OLF (outlying field) for the Naval Air Station in Pensacola. In 1977 under the Surplus Property Act of 1944 the U.S. Navy sold the land to the Alabama Dept. of Aeronautics. It was then that the original terminal building was constructed and the airport was named for Congressman Jack Edwards who was instrumental in the transfer of the property from Federal to the State of Alabama. In 1983 the4 City of Gulf Shores purchased the property from the state. Additional acreage was purchased. The new terminal building was built in 1998. The airport now includes 850 acres. A runway extension was recently completed in 2003. In 1999 there were over 47,000 flights in and out of the airport. This figure is expected to reach 67,000 by 2010. How about some Hot Air Ballooning? Or a open cockpit Biplane ride?

Many people do not know that Alabama even has beaches, but Alabama has the most beautiful white sugar sand beaches around. The weather is glorious, the area is full of golf courses, and the Alabama Gulf Coast has been a steady award winner in family beach vacation categories. Gulf Shores is the original and most well known part of the beach, Orange Beach has been more recently developed and Perdido Key is right next to Orange Beach. We do not have nearly the traffic problems that the Destin area seems to have now-a-days. The prices are very reasonable down in Dixie, the weather is exceptional, and the people are the friendliest ever !
