A message from airport manager Don Degraw on future KGFL Construction

Fri, 08/15/2008 - 06:12 — bushwhacker

Would you please pass the word that due to a new hangar being built in the vicinity of the parking/gate area leading to the bridge and south tie-downs, the airport is requesting that pilots who need to access the south ramp, park in the lot located just South of the circle. We will be installing a walk-through gate directly in front of the airport mx building.  It adds about 200' of additional walking.

Memorial for William E. Hess

Wed, 03/05/2008 - 08:20 — BobS

Our condolences go out to the family of William E. Hess, brother of GFPOA member Don Hess, who was tragically killed last Saturday at Dunn Airpark in Titusville, FL.  Bill Hess was seated in the back seat and a retired North west captain,  Phil Schactht, was piloting the RV 8 N 128RV built and owned by Bill Hess.

The RV 8 was sitting  on the taxi way  when a Velocity came  in from  no where and hit  the side of the RV 8 that immediately exploded.

The EEA Chapter 288 will have a memorial day and a MISSING MAN fly-by on March 20th
