Hazel Green Flyers, Inc.


Hazel Green Airport (M38) is privately owned and maintained by stockholders of the Hazel Green Flyers, Inc. It is located a few miles west of Hazel Green, Alabama, just north of Huntsville, and a few miles south of the Tennessee border. The runway was originally paved as a drag strip. It was first licensed as Chess-King Airpark on April 21, 1966.


We have a stockholders meeting once per year, and the Board of Directors meets more often. A few years ago we met in Sam's hangar, since the executive boardroom in our giant office complex is currently under renovation : )
Officers are:

  • President - Bob Luther
  • Vice President - Mark Langford
  • Treasurer - Mike Bedard
  • Secretary - Ray Moye
  • Safety Officer - Phil Hendrix

    The Hazel Green Flyers, LLC By-Laws are posted at http://www.hazelgreenflyers.com/HGF_bylaws.pdf

  • Grass mowing is a voluntary community affair, mostly based on landowners cutting their grass, including that adjacent to the runway. There's a PDF of the grass mowing assignments if you want to see the details or print it out. Dave Welch has volunteered to maintain the tractor, and to fill in when somebody can't get their share cut in a timely manner.
  • The next scheduled "Work Day" will be Saturday April 28th. The big even will be the auction of the ultralight hangar contents, and the effort to restore the building to a state suitable for renting out.
  • other announcements... to be added later

    This is the view of "short final" for runway 25. Most of us pilots would rather land from the other direction due to the trees, but I've seen much worse!
