In 1927, Oklahoma oilman Frank Phillips became enamored of aviation and put his money and his energy where his heart was. Now, 75 years later, Phillips 66 remains committed to aviation fuels and oils and is one of the most popular among refiners and distributors. Mark Wagner, Phillips 66 aviation manager, said, “We’ve been there through good times and bad, and we’ll continue to support our customers.”

In 1927 Phillips hired Billy Parker as one of the first corporate pilots to head one of the first corporate flight departments. Parker– holder of U.S. pilot license number 44, signed by Orville Wright–is credited with inventing the controllable-pitch propeller. That year, Phillips opened its own airport, Frank Phillips Field in Bartlesville, Okla.
