YOU CAN TELL SPRING IS HERE because our daffodils and tulips are pushing up and the birds are already checking out your cowlings (and other openings) for nest sites! Along with the warmer days comes our short ‘Mud Season’. Watch for NOTAMs and notices on our access keypads restricting ramp access and possibly closing RWY 12/30 for brief periods. Check out the ‘New and Improved’ grounding reels at the pump island area for your safety installed by 6B6 Chief of Operations, Trevor Hennessey. Plus Daylight Savings returns Sunday, March 9th along with flying after work – hooray!
‘HANGAR TALK’ is set for Saturday 3/1 at 8:30 am at Nancy’s Café.
