This year marks an exciting milestone for Orion. 10 years in business, serving airports in California, Hawaii, Seattle and New England. To celebrate, we’re launching a new series called Flight Facts, where we’ll share fascinating insights into aviation, airfield design, and the engineering behind it all.

Our first Flight Fact is a nod to both history and longevity, featuring ten of the oldest airports in the U.S. that are still in operation today. Throughout the year, we’ll continue uncovering the stories, details, and design considerations that make aviation infrastructure so compelling.

Have a Flight Fact idea? We’d love to hear it. Send us a message.
