I don’t want to write this blog, but must.
I goofed badly on my last Ground Clutter column in Airport Business magazine. Toward the end of the column I mentioned a situation in Glynn County, Georgia. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that I thought—and wrote—that the activity took place at McKinnon Airport on St. Simons Island. Sadly, that was all wrong. The activity discussed took place on Brunswick-Golden Isles Airport on the mainland.
Not only that—the major part of the column was about Women in Aviation International, better known as WAI. Somehow that came out as WIA.
My head hangs low and I do apologize.
Now, on to happier thoughts…
One of the things I like most about my job is speaking for aviation groups. I just spoke for a fascinating group, The International Aviation Snow Symposium, which is presented by the Northeast Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives. This is the symposium of those unsung wonder workers who remove snow from airports in our country. This was my third appearance for the group, which is amazing, considering that I’ve never lived farther north than Tennessee.
In mid-May I speak for another fascinating group—the American Bonanza Society—for the third time. In the past, I’ve learned not to brag about my own flying when these guys are around. One of them flew his Bonanza around the world—twice!
Until next time…
