In 2009 the Huntsville City Council had approved a name change of the airport from Huntsville Municipal Airport to Bruce Brothers Huntsville Regional Airport.[2] On May 28, 2010, the airport was rededicated in honor of two World War II veterans, Harry Joe Bruce and Reeves "Jeep" Bruce, who died during the course of that war.[3] The ribbon cutting was scheduled to be held on that day.[9] However, as of December 2015, it is still listed as Huntsville Municipal Airport by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation.[1][4]
