CTWG: Sikorsky Memorial Airport Update


Hat Tip to Lt Col David Oestreicher, Squadron Commander of the Stratford Eagles for sending in notice of the below.

Dave Faile, Gold Seal Flight Instructor, 1999 National Flight Instructor of the Year
and FAA Safety Team gives us some perspective on the meeeting:

"Last Wednesday, the State Legislature, Transportation Committee held a public hearing on the proposed Bill 563 that is designed to block much needed safety improvements."

"We and other Airport supporters were at the hearing for over ten hours opposing the bill and supporting the Airport and requesting that the Transportation Committee not support this bill. The support in favor of this bill was very limited. We are now hoping that the Transportation Committee will not support this bill."

"The two links below are to a Connecticut Post editorial supporting safety improvements to Sikorsky Memorial Airport."
