I would love to copy it and feature it in it's total copy here but I think the author, Nan Mahon, might just get Pi...st. At any rate, the article was short but wonderfully done. Go to, http://www.seniormagonline.com/2010/02/duncan-miller-keeper-aviation-history/ for the complete article. Congratulations Duncan! AIRPORT MASTER PLAN ACTION BEGINS We are finally getting the Master Plan up and moving. I will devote an article on the process in a day or two..2-6-2010 Editor
WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR AN FBO Good news from Michael Golden pertinent to the FBO: Michael says: “We are pleased to inform you that on Friday November 13 the Solano County Building Department issued a building permit for our construction to commence at Nut Tree Airport . Construction on our new facility has commenced, and we anticipate being open for business in approximately six (6) weeks. We look forward to serving you at Nut Tree Airport . Regards, Michael Golden.”
UPDADE; 2-6-2010 Well, six weeks might have been optimistic. To date we are still waiting for the opening of the FBO. Until then, our Flight School owner, Juan Carlos, has made most of the items pilots require, available at his office. Drop by and give them some business.
WE HAVE A FLIGHT SCHOOL! VCB has got a flight school business on campus and flights are welcomed by Juan Carlos Cantavella, Chief Flight Instructor for Wings Flight School. Mr. Cantavella attended the August SPA meeting and unveiled the plans he has been busy putting into action. The flight School is a seperate venture from the F.B.O.. It occupies space in the county building and will operate off of the flight line in front of the building. We are all encouraged by this news. WELCOME JUAN CARLOS CANTAVELLA AND WINGS!!!!
