CENTURY 21® Mike Bowman, Inc. Part of Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport History
Grapevine, Texas, July
16, 2010 -- To celebrate the Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport Ambassador Program's 10th
Anniversary, CENTURY 21® Mike Bowman, Inc. sponsored
one of six granite medallions engraved with a custom
design which illustrates an important milestone in
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport history at
the new Founders’ Plaza. The medallions are permanently
installed along the walkway of the main viewing area
of Founders’ Plaza.
Dallas/ Fort Worth International Airport’s Founders'
Plaza was dedicated in 1995 as a tribute to the founders
of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Their
vision was to create not only an airport, but a major
economic stimulus for the entire North Texas region.
Founders Plaza was relocated so Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport could proceed with its innovative
perimeter taxiway construction, aimed at cutting aircraft
taxi time to terminals and increasing safety. Thanks
to the efforts of the Airport’s owner cities, Dallas
and Fort Worth, Dallas-Fort Worth employees and travelers
throughout the world, the vision of the Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport founders has become a
reality.
Over the years, Founders' Plaza has become a favorite
place for families, aviation enthusiasts and Airport
employees. The new site’s observation area has phenomenal
views of the airport and a sound system so visitors
can hear the airport’s air traffic controllers direct
the more than 1,900 daily flights arriving and departing
Dallas/Fort Worth. In addition, the plaza provides
convenient parking, picnic tables, telescopes, historic
information, a commemorative monument and a radio
that broadcasts air traffic control communications
from the FAA tower.
“It is an honor to be part of Founders’ Plaza and
to sponsor one of the six granite medallions. Since
beginning my real estate career in 1969, I have seen
this monumental dream emerge as one of the leading
airports in the world,” said Mike Bowman, President
of CENTURY 21 Mike Bowman, Inc.
