Tipton Airport officials are wooing business executives with a proposal to allow corporate jets to take off and land at the former military airfield just south of Fort Meade. Board members overseeing the Anne Arundel County-owned airport have held informal meetings with state and federal aviation officials this year, and conceptual drawings to expand the 3,000-foot runway to accommodate jets were received favorably, said Eric Flamino, chairman of the Tipton Airport Authority. While the project is years off, airport officials are seeking to capitalize on the boom at Fort Meade, which will add tens of thousands of jobs over the next seven years, as well as Central Maryland's commercial growth, particularly in the high-tech sector.
