Dear Orlando Apopka Airport Owner,
The Orlando Apopka Airport Association Board of Directors has allocated runway repair funds that the Board has been escrowing as a contingency over the last several years to make much-needed periodic repairs to the runway and its markings. We have scheduled the following runway repairs.
Please BE ADVISED, and ADVISE any tenants who may be using your property, that the Orlando Apopka Airport (X04) will be CLOSED to aircraft traffic on the runway during the following period for runway and runway marking repair:
- Tuesday, Feb 28, 2012 -- All Day
- Wednesday, Feb 29, 2012 -- All Day
- Thursday, March 1, 2012 -- All Day
- Friday, March 2, 2012 -- 'Rain Day' Contingency
The runway markings are in particular need of repair, as noted by the Florida DOT Aviation inspector during his annual airport inspection in December.
Five different sets of '15' markings are now apparent on the north end (Rwy 15), as the gray and black erasure over-coatings begin to wear away. Some of the false markings (particularly the black ones) are now more apparent from the air than the official white 15 designation!
Asphalt will also be repaired as part of this maintenance action. Plus, the entire length of runway asphalt will be resealed prior to re-marking. The resealing will not only rejuvenate the runway for up to another five years, but will also create a clean, uniformly black background for the new white markings and should greatly improve visibility. All new markings will be beaded with Type III (the highest quality aviation reflecting beads) in order to also improve night time runway marking visibility.
We realize having the airport closed for three days will be a great inconvenience to many owners, tenants and transients. Maintenance crews will be working with haste during this time to minimize the closure period, however the three day period is primarily dictated by the 'dry times' required between each step of the repair. These repairs are overdue and unavoidable at this time. NOTAMs have been posted to advise transient aircraft of the closure.
We apologize for the inconvenience,
Please ALERT anyone you think may be affected!
Sincerely,
OAAA Board of Directors
It’s an understatement to say the Orlando Apopka Airport (X04) has had a few changes in recent years. When I started flying at X04 the paved runway was 27’ wide with a big drop-off at the approach end of Runway 33.
Since that time, the official stats for the airport have changed several times. Pilots don’t check the data of their home field often because it’s too familiar. Here is a quiz to test how well you know X04. Answers follow at the bottom of the page. Have fun!

Music and dancing warmed the cool night air at the Orlando Apopka Airport last month thanks to a event put on by JH Audio. Held in Hangar 143, the Under the Sea Charity Christmas Party raised funds to benefit children afflicted with a rare disorder called pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD).
I have always been amazed at how a hangar can be completely transformed into an elegant party venue and this event didn’t disappoint. A party tent extended the hangar making room for a dance-floor, dining tables, two bars, a buffet and an entire section devoted to displaying the silent auction items. The whole room had the feel of an ocean with cool green lighting, bubble-like balloon arrangements, and even a floating shark swimming the room. Valets handled the parking, allowing guests to pull right up to the hangar.
Several of the PDCD children attended the gala along with their families, a rare chance to bond, share stories and support each other. I imagine just being able to sit down with another person who is dealing with the same challenges had to be therapeutic.
Kelly Strebelow-Vlcek, whose daughter recently lost her battle with PDCD, gave a heart-tugging speech explaining why the benefit would help all of the families. There weren’t many dry eyes left in the hangar when she was done.
The fuel price at Apopka dropped another $.10 cents. The new fuel price at the Orlando Apopka Airport (x04) is $4.99 – Full Service Avgas Only. Call 407-341-6901 to place an order. We will post an update if there is a price change.

Our story begins late on a Thursday afternoon with a phone call from a friend at the airport. Would I be interested in flying up to the Panhandle region on Saturday with a guy who owns a Bonanza, and do a little shooting at the gun range up there? Lunch, and then a flight back?
Flying? Shooting? Lunch? Three of my favorite vices. Put me in, coach!
And so it came to pass that I met L.R. Du Broff outside of his hanger at oh-dark-thirty. If you don’t know him, L.R. is a very nice guy, generous to a fault, and smart as a whip. Once the introductions were complete, I got a good look at his trusty steed.
After pulling her out of the hangar, we both discovered a small complication- Lake Apopka mosquitoes are ferocious. Ferocious. Preflight was done with a minimum of dawdling. The motor was soon ticking over contentedly as we taxied, with about 50 hitchiking skeeters onboard.
Weather consisted of a low marine layer and very stable air. We filed for Costin Airport at Port St. Joe via HEVVN, with Apalachicola Regional (AAF) as a legal alternate. Blasting down runway 33, we climbed into the dawn sky and soon left our little biting friends behind.
This derelict bird was spotted at Zephyrhills Municipal Airport. Looking at it, I have to wonder who was brave enough to fly it last.
