We re looking for copies of old photos, magazine or newspaper articles, old company newsletters, correspondence, anything, etc., regarding the history of the airport.

We d also like to have something solid for future presentations regarding the airport s history. We already have the book Pilots, Pinballs and Politics. But do you, or anyone you may know, have any historical information on the airport to share with us? We d certainly appreciate any historical information we can get. So, let s bring out those old photo albums, dig through those dusty old boxes, and ask your friends and family that have been around here forever, to help out with this project let s see how much historical data we can come up with together.

Before you take that drone out for a flight, check out This website provides information to the public on what they need to know before they use/fly a drone. The paragraphs below were copied from the website: Know Before You Fly is an education campaign founded by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), and the Small UAV Coalition in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to educate prospective users about the safe and responsible operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). As excitement and enthusiasm continues to grow around UAS, and the regulatory framework continues to take shape, more consumers are looking to buy UAS for personal use and more businesses are looking to use UAS too. These prospective operators want to fly, and fly safely, but many don t realize that, just because you can buy a UAS, doesn t mean you can fly it anywhere, or for any purpose. Know Before You Fly provides prospective users with the information and guidance they need to fly safely and responsibly.
