Burlington International Airport’s 100 years of national leadership gets infused by Beta Technologies I’ve been tellin’ my dreams to the scarecrow About the places that I’d like to see.

f that scarecrow stood in Vermont over the past century, it had lots of smiles. It knows that passengers who used Burlington International Airport (BTV) happily arrived at their destinations; because BTV has been a national leader of aviation innovation since its inception in 1920. As BTV enters another century of service, it has not relegated itself to a soft recliner and subsistence on memories from a distant past. Its administration embraces the future and the creative vitality from Beta Technologies. The result will be an ageless BTV whose contributions to aviation will continue to be voluminous and electric. 34 | www.bestofburlingtonvt.com
