Our very own Operations Superintendent, Aaron Arguien, was invited by the City's GIS Department to participate in their Webinar Series: More Than Maps! on June 26th.

With the assistance of mapping wizards Daniel Wanke, Christie Robinson, Emilee Freeman, and Jessica Neuner, Aaron was able to educate City staff on how the airport utilizes the ArcGIS platform to track numerous operational items like airfield lighting, wildlife sightings, facilities/hangars, and more!

He also provided a bit of interesting airport history to kick of the presentation - worth the watch alone!

Thank you to the entire GIS team for this great opportunity and we sincerely appreciate everything you do! (And we love that airport shirt, Daniel!)

Most people would probably be surprised to see the types of Foreign Object Debris (or FOD - fancy airport phrase meaning "stuff that shouldn't be where airplanes are operating) we find on the airfield.

Honestly, we could probably have a monthly section for the weirdest FOD found in any given month. But we digress.

Sometimes FOD is trash (throw away your chip bags before you hop in your plane, friends!) but some are things we're sure you'd love to be reunited with. We're looking at you guy-who-dropped-his-iPad-on-Taxiway-Juliet.

If you arrive at your destination without something you coulda sworn you had before you left, check in with Berry Aviation FBO when you return. Odds are we've found it on one of our frequent runway checks and the customer service reps at 1807 Airport Drive will be more than happy to dig through the FOD Box for you.
