Shawn, are those Eagles or Parrots?… just foolin’… it’s a nice, friendly-looking sign! I understand Shawn is creating a “that way” arrow that will be added, soon…
Thank you, so much, Shawn!
NICE PROGRESS this week…
Aside from Shawn’s sign, we got three strands of wire 
fence on two sides of our new Aux. Field #1… and we installed the gate… and locked it… even though the other two sides of the “fence” have no fencing. We’d held-up on that final wire-stringing so the heavy equipment could easily get in to scrape the weeds and roll-out the new runway… but it turns out that we CAN do the wire as long as we leave the gate unobstructed… so that wire-stringing will be happening this week… maybe as early as Tuesday morning. We’re all looking forward to seeing the dirt-work completed!
That gate…
Jon had planned to hang the gate on the right-hand end of the gate… but several of us, there at the time, changed his mind as we pointed out the better support offered by that left-hand post; it had a solid brace 
and would be totally supported by the fence-wire once we installed it… it would be strong enough to allow you to stand on the gate; it could hold your weight! … and so we installed the gate with the hinges on the left. … And then Paul Smith showed-up and said, “Hey, you guys hung the gate backwards! It was supposed to be hangin’ on that right post so it could swing all the way open and be flat against the inside of the fence.” … which, indeed it would have… “NOW you tell us!” … but… anyway… there it is… solid and strong; hinges on the left edge!
More progress… and still more!
Charlie and his son have been welding the five flight-stands and I think he has finished the metal work… next will be adding the wood? or metal? decking to those stands. … and then fabrication of the pilot-station barriers for each of the five stations.
Shawn has put together four wooden convertible table/benches (each seats four flyers) and he bought us a patio shade structure to make sitting on those seats more comfortable.
The Geotextile fabric has been ordered and will be here… this week?
Install the Runway Fabric…
When the dirt-rolling project is finished, we will have to call “All hands on deck!” as we get ready to install that runway fabric. … the new runway will be 600-feet x 45-feet… and so, with a staple every 18-inches across that entire surface, the math works out to 12,000 staples! … “No problema!” as long as we get a hundred enthusiastic hands out there to install ’em!
Let’s fly!
Once we get that runway material installed, there will still be plenty more to do… but me? … I will be ready to fly!
Come out and fly with the Kingman Golden Eagles!
