Doing Business In Winona

WINONA, MINN. – The economy has taken its toll in recent years on the small southeastern community of Winona, Minnesota, but things are looking up. Three Hawker Beechcraft Premier Jets were in town for business reasons recently, and landed at Winona’s Max Conrad Field. Airport manager, George Bolon, believes that this may be the first and only time there have been three large aircraft of the same make and model at the airport, and hopefully not the last time. According to Bolon, there are only 290 Premier Jets in the total fleet.
