2011 Fly-in


Safety!

Safety and Security are our highest priority. The runway and field facilities are clearly marked to allow visitors access to aircraft and good viewing areas to watch the flying. Cross the runway at the designated areas and look for staff people who are directing traffic. Have your dogs leashed or leave them at home and please insure that children (yours and others) understand they should never run at the airfield. Spinning propellers, engine noise, pilots with limited visibility and headphones do not mix well with running children and loose dogs.

Safety and security is everyone's job, so please help us out. If you see activity that looks unusual or unsafe notify a staff member immediately.
Look, but never touch Aircraft
