Greetings!
I bet many of you have heard the old, but classic Texas term, Blue Norther. The current weather forecast doesn’t look like we’re going to see one this week, but are we ready for some cooler temperatures or what? It’s been a mighty summer by any measure, but we’ve survived.
A few noteworthy news items:
A new, updated airport entrance sign has been installed and what an improvement to our drive-in appeal! You’ll also notice improved way-finding signage along Airport Drive. It was time for a refresh, and more facelifts are on the way. New airfield runway and taxiway signs are also being installed that will significantly enhance visibility and directional guidance for pilots.
The airport recently purchased new FOD removal equipment that is showing stunning results in pavement cleaning maintenance. See more details on the “FOD BOSS” below, and we’re hopeful this unit will drastically reduce our FOD problem and make HYI a safer airport for all aircraft operations.
And speaking of improvements, the reconstruction of Taxiway Alpha will kick-off October 10. This pre-construction meeting will produce detailed information concerning the project and we will be providing updates to everyone in the weeks to come.
In closing, we are working diligently on implementing additional measures to slow vehicular traffic on Airport Drive and the ramp roadway. It is a challenge to balance convenient access to airport facilities for our tenants while continuously maintaining a safe environment, so please, please observe all speed limits on the property.
If you want to learn more about blue northers, come by the office, grab a new blue t-shirt, and share a cup of coffee.
Sincerely,
Jim Wimberly
President
