WHEREAS, The City of Temple is celebrating the 75th | ||
anniversary of Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport and | ||
the opening of the airport's new terminal with an air show on May | ||
13, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Draughon-Miller airport can trace its origins to | ||
1942, when the United States Army Air Forces began construction of | ||
Temple Army Air Field, a sub-base of Waco Army Air Field that served | ||
as a basic flying school during World War II; turned over to the | ||

Miller Draughon and Lieutenant Raymond Miller Jr.; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Draughon-Miller 75th Anniversary Airshow pays | ||
tribute to the members of the Greatest Generation, with | ||
performances by a World War II bomber and training aircraft and | ||
period-appropriate airborne paratroopers; the event also features | ||
modern minijets and displays from Fort Hood and the Texas National | ||
Guard; moreover, attendees can enjoy airplane and helicopter rides | ||
and take advantage of the available beer gardens, food trucks, and | ||
children's activities; and | ||
WHEREAS, A fun occasion for all ages, this thrilling event | ||
presents an opportunity to witness some spectacular aerial | ||
acrobatics, and it promises to be a source of fond memories for all | ||
those in attendance; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the Draughon-Miller 75th | ||
Anniversary Airshow and extend to its organizers and attendees | ||
sincere best wishes for a successful and enjoyable event. | ||
