Presidents Corner March 2007:
Thanks again to Glenn Smith for contributing the use of his
hangar for the February meeting and arranging for the
speakers from the Boulder
City fire
department. The main discussion centered
around emergency communications,
and the challenges presented at an uncontrolled
airport. The Fire Department is
currently working with 61B airport
management to develop a complete emergency response plan
(ERP). Lots of ideas were discussed, but
if we want
our input into the final form of the ERP, it appears we
should act soon and in concert with airport management.
If anyone is interested in taking up this topic, please
contact Glenn, or any one of the board members so we can
coordinate our input.
Following Buck’s example, several chapter members made
contributions to Discover Aviation (Jean
Airport April 21)
to help with the advertising and operations budget. Money is tight, but the Discover Aviation
team is working hard
to make this a success to build on. If you can provide any support, please
contact Mike Perger or David Lerner directly.
Be looking in the mail for your chapter dues notice, and by
separate mailing, a ballot on altering the by-laws to reduce
the liability insurance requirement from two million to one
million dollars. If we don’t make this
change, we will be forced
to purchase two million of insurance at more than double the
cost for one million.
Finally, Dave Edwards will be at our next meeting (March 14:
HND) to talk about the status of first flights at VGT.
We need to learn all we can from this experience to better
prepare for any similar challenges at other area airports.
They may come sooner that we would like to think.
Freezing in Northern Illinois,
Terry Frazier
