In 2021, the aircraft received $32,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide economic relief funds for costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt service payments, and combating the spread of pathogens at Williams County Airport. [6] [7]

For the same time period, 21 aircraft were based at the airport: 20 single-engine airplanes and 1 jet airplane. [8] [9] [10]
