Remote Tower Updates
Hello <<First Name>>,

Here we are another month closer to summer and you have gotten the itch to dust off your plane, make plans for a quick trip to hither and yon. All you need is some decent weather. Never fear, it's on its way - eventually.

What are you doing in October? Not planning that far ahead?! Well, the airport is. As part of the Federal regulations to keep the airport's Operating Certificate they are required to perform a review of their emergency response.  Come be a part of the exercise. More info will follow as the time gets closer.
Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying
Happy Tailwinds!!!

Upcoming Events


** We've had a chance in the schedule for May.

May 23 - Hypoxia
Join us May 23 for altitude training by Ryan Maresh.  Come learn about the hazards of hypoxia and how that relates to high altitude flying, night flying and flying as we get older and have older passengers.  Ryan was an Aerospace and Operational Physiologist in the Air Force and spent 21 years teaching and training aircrew about the physiological challenges and hazards that can be encountered in aviation.  He is currently working as the Director of the Colorado State University Hypo/Hyperbaric Chamber facility and is working to restore the chamber for simulated altitude training.
