SANDPOINT — The Sandpoint and Priest River airports have a new boss.
Pilot and retired Air Force Maj. Jim Kaiser has taken the controls, filling a new position created by county commissioners. Kaiser will help commissioners navigate the airports into the future.
Kaiser brings a lifetime of aviation enthusiasm, experience, education and training to the position. His education includes a bachelor’s degree in airport management, a master’s in aviation science, and 22-plus years service in the U.S. Air Force that includes a mobile tanker airlift command, and service in Afghanistan. With a commander’s eye for detail to the job, he likes what he sees.
