Protecting Virginia's Skies
Because You Can Never Tell What Dem Nutty West Virginians Are Planning :-) Updated 6.23.99
Ahhh... It's that time of the year... The Smell of JP 7 is in the Air..
Spring Time Flight Operations, So be sure to head out to Falcon Perch.
I am thinking about Contacting Henrico County to see if they would help
support "Falcon's Perch"
For some reason folks like to use this area as a dumping ground... that has
to be stopped!
Also we have a row of pine trees that need to be trimmed down a little.
ar present they are blocking the View of Flight Operations on the 36 End.
IF you would like to help or have any ideas let us know..
