It’s been a year of changes for California’s Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (TRM). Located in the desert near Palm Springs, the designated GA gateway is the sort of place where you can stand by the runway in the still of the night and hear the howls of coyotes in the darkness, yet it handles approximately 300 operations a day.
