Sacramento County taps Florida man to run airport system

 Sacramento County has selected a Florida man to be the next director of airports.

John Wheat, currently executive director of Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, has been selected to take over leadership of Sacramento County's airports after a nationwide search.

Sacramento County Executive Bradley J. Hudson said that Wheat has more than 30 years of airport management experience.

"His broad-based experience will be critical to the continued success of our airport system," said Hudson.

Hudson's selection of Wheat must still be approved by the Board of Supervisors. If approved, he would start work April 14, replacing retiring Hardy Acree.

The job pays from $172,000 to 189,000 a year. Responsibilities include oversight of Sacramento International Airport, as well as Mather and Executive airports.
