GWB was busy this month. There was a vintage D-25 New Standard Bi-plane onsite giving rides, multiple large freight operations (CRJ-200’s), breakfast at the VAA37 hangar and Lunch on the Fly at the main hangar and over 1,800 total operations.
Mike Darnall from maintenance was highlighted, as was B.O. Fink and his grandson Bill, along with Airport Manager Couchman on the Shyann Sessions Podcast and local pilot Jacob Leichty was in the spotlight.
Excellent! Coming into the winter months, those CRJs are going to need de-ice capability on some days to be able to come in. Hopefully something we could get at KGWB in the future.
That's awesome!
