Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Christmas came 10 days early for aviation enthusiasts here Tuesday as they prepared to take the wrappings off the city's new $283,000 terminal building at Tulakes airport. At least 125 persons were expected to turn out for a high-noon ceremony to see the fancy brick-and-glass structure dedicated and officially opened for business. William O. "Bill" Coleman, airport's manager, was to head up a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, with Mayor Norick doing the honors, followed by a $2-per-head luncheon in the sparkling new terminal restaurant. The ceremony, promoted by the aviation committee of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, will officially christen the 3-story-high installation which was built with funds from the city's $7.5 million airport bond issue...In a landscaped setting on the city's "No. 2 airport," the new terminal features a full utility basement, and a main floor which includes a restaurant and lobby area, offices for the airport supervisor and quarters for a crash-fire rescue team which will be stationed at the airport. On the second floor is located the new office of the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) district safety office, which is being moved to Tulakes from Will Rogers Field. On the third floor will be the office of the chief FAA traffic controller, and in the tower above will be the controllers themselves...Opening of the terminal building is expected to attract a good portion of the small private plane traffic now operating at Will Rogers Field. Gateway to the futuristic new terminal building at Tulakes airport stood ready for its public showing here Tuesday."
