SECURITY WISE
Dan Montgomery
has asked that we all remember to not only use the west gate at
Terry, but to also make sure that it is locked as well. Lately
we have been going home and forgetting about it. If in doubt,
always lock it behind you as you enter. Otherwise, the crew chief/DO
needs to make sure it is locked at days end.

AWAY
TO ALEXANDRIA!
Our away
weekend this year is scheduled for September 13, 14 &
15 at Knotts Airport (I99)
just southeast of Alexandria.
CFIG
Nyal Williams visited the airport recently and reports that
the facilities are neat and clean with nice restrooms and
nice rooms to relax in. The runway is nice, but with a small
hump in middle. It appears there is enough room on either
side.
Word
has it that Peter Detore is bringing his famous smoked turkeys
for Saturday evening, so you won't want to miss this event.
Please bring a dish and something to drink if you can.
IMPORTANT
THINGS TO REMEMBER

higher and if you sink to your indicated
2500ft.agl over their airspace you will
be in violation.
