Tweaks...

Pilots!

20 degrees cooler today. You'd think that would have us leaping for joy, but it seems to have been replaced by humidity. Yuck.

Here are some things I know:

They are re-paving the front parking lot area. All cars should remain west of the "security trailer" (cough) -- the affected areas are roped off with cones, and it will be sticky hot tar for a few days. This affects our front parking area also. Feel free to park in the back if you like, but please keep the taxiways clear.

Cessna 630 had her intercom replaced with something foolish and ineffective, for reasons I am unclear about. We have returned the old working box, but we have moved it out of everyone's kneecaps and onto the floor.

Cessna 20U has a new starter solenoid.

Cessna 25R appears to be progressing very well, with an anticipated return tomorrow or Thursday. (touch wood)

Cessna 739 and Cessna 1ES are being de-squawked.



Please check Firefighting TFRs -- they pop up with very little notice. If you see a fire, it's wise to remain about 10nm clear just in case. While breathing smoke and ash is bad enough, breathing a firefighter helo's rotor wash is even worse. Give them room to work, and admire them from afar -- it's amazing work!



That's it for the moment. More as I know it!

Blue Skies,
