1. 0:00planes shows up in your screen.
2. 0:03It's kind of like a fish,
3. 0:04>> but yeah,
4. 0:05>> when you touch the icon for the
5. 0:07airplane,
6. 0:08>> Yeah.
7. 0:08>> tells you the type aircraft adding an
8. 0:10air speed
9. 0:11>> and and boats use MMSI, which is
10. 0:14identification of the boat. And you can
11. 0:16look up that you you
12. 0:18if they're if they're registered with
13. 0:20their ADSB in and out, it will identify
14. 0:24who I am, the plane, you know, the tail
15. 0:28number and everything. And uh so you
16. 0:30could actually call me on the radio and
17. 0:33say, "Hey, we're on a collision course."
18. 0:38>> I never called Brad. I just watch him
19. 0:40out of the way. [laughter]
20. 0:42I'm coming in. Got it. Coming in.
21. 0:45>> All righty. Well, just all yours.
22. 0:49>> All right. Well, u meeting to order and
23. 0:53uh let's see who's present. Ted Derpy is
24. 0:55here. I am here. Red's here. Adrien is
25. 0:59not here, but I suspect he might come.
26. 1:01Tyler's here.
27. 1:03Tom, uh, let's see, the clerk and the
28. 1:07deputy director.
29. 1:08>> Yes, sir.
30. 1:09>> So, we got a pretty good We have a
31. 1:11quorum. We can proceed.
32. 1:14>> The first item is uh the meeting
33. 1:17minutes. That's the two pager from last
34. 1:20time. Um, it's pretty brief, but it it
35. 1:24summarized what we talked about last
36. 1:26time.
37. 1:28uh which is mainly
38. 1:31um
39. 1:33set the next meeting be talking about
40. 1:37um
41. 1:37>> oh yeah
42. 1:38>> what else should we talk about oh here
43. 1:39it is okay
44. 1:41>> the the construction schedule because
45. 1:43well machinery's been sitting idle for
46. 1:45three to four months there's concern
47. 1:48about when are we going to get that
48. 1:50going and we're done with that
49. 1:52>> uh then we talked about the courtesy
50. 1:54vehicle which is going to be coming in
51. 1:56the this sort of like every meeting
52. 1:57we'll probably have to talk about that
53. 2:00uh installation costs and the repeater
54. 2:04to get the signal from the Wi-Fi over to
55. 2:07the new and also to my hanger which is
56. 2:10on the east side um and um Adrian is
57. 2:15working on that. I talk to him about it.
58. 2:18Probably at the next meeting, you'll
59. 2:20have to have like an itemized. Here's
60. 2:22the three big brands, here's the cost,
61. 2:24here's the installed labor cost. Um,
62. 2:29and I think we're probably best served
63. 2:32if we don't call the FAA and ask them,
64. 2:34can we mount that also on the rotating
65. 2:36beacon pole because that'll just cause
66. 2:40commotion. I think we just put it on the
67. 2:42pole. It's a super lightweight thing
68. 2:44that doesn't affect the integrity or the
69. 2:46operation of the pole. And I think
70. 2:48that's is T. Do you agree that's the
71. 2:51logical place to mount it?
72. 2:53>> Yeah. So, so I did talk to my it.
73. 2:57>> Um,
74. 2:58so if you guys are going to want it,
75. 3:00obviously that's I'm not at your guys's
76. 3:03dimes. It's not something that the city
77. 3:05can provide right now. Um we
78. 3:10that internet is there for the the
79. 3:14lounge.
80. 3:14>> Yeah.
81. 3:15>> So that that's what we cover and
82. 3:19>> you know it has two important functions.
83. 3:20One is
84. 3:21>> that that we can get online and look at
85. 3:23the weather of this place we're thinking
86. 3:24of going
87. 3:25>> and we can also with the Wiz dot system
88. 3:27pull up cameras actually see the weather
89. 3:29what it looks like you know beyond that.
90. 3:31The other thing is is that um this is
91. 3:33often a fuel stop because we have kind
92. 3:36of [clears throat] price fuel
93. 3:37>> for people crossing the border. And one
94. 3:40of the things you have to do before you
95. 3:41cross the border is you have to check in
96. 3:43with Canadians and tell them, "Well,
97. 3:44we're coming. We're leaving here at this
98. 3:46time. We'll be arriving at that airport
99. 3:48at this time." And we will pull up and
100. 3:50park in the customs box, get out with
101. 3:52our documents. And so it's it's you
102. 3:55know, I've had a lot of people
103. 3:57stop and say, you know, I'm going north.
104. 4:00Is there internet here? Yeah. Oh, good.
105. 4:02Okay. So, it has a function beyond the
106. 4:05safety sort of function.
107. 4:07>> No, understandable.
108. 4:08>> And I'm willing to kick some money in. I
109. 4:10don't know about Ted and the other
110. 4:12people that are on our end of the
111. 4:14airport, but s such a small amount of
112. 4:15money that I think we can probably do
113. 4:18it.
114. 4:18>> Okay.
115. 4:19>> So, as long as, you know, we can all
116. 4:21we're doing is we're sharing. We'll be
117. 4:24sending it from its current location to
118. 4:26the repeater up on top of the pole.
119. 4:30not on top, but mounted on the pole.
120. 4:32>> And then it'll then disseminate so that
121. 4:34the new hangers can get the internet and
122. 4:37us in the old hangers on the east side
123. 4:40>> can also get the
124. 4:42pilots that are out in the on the
125. 4:44tarmac.
126. 4:44>> Yeah. In the parking area.
127. 4:46>> Yeah. Yeah.
128. 4:47>> And that would include and and since
129. 4:48I've moved to the airport, let me tell
130. 4:50you that I would say an average day
131. 4:54there are three medevacc flights. Oh, I
132. 4:57I believe
133. 4:58>> it's just amazing how many medevac
134. 5:01flights come in and out of there and the
135. 5:03first thing those guys do is they get on
136. 5:05their phone and start looking to see
137. 5:08they're they're there, you know, like to
138. 5:10deliver a patient
139. 5:11>> and then they're it's like the Yuber or
140. 5:13whatever. They're trying to find is
141. 5:14there another patient we can transport
142. 5:16so we don't dead head back. So often
143. 5:18you'll see one ambulance arrives,
144. 5:21somebody gets out well while they are on
145. 5:23a stretcher. It's they put them in the
146. 5:25ambulance, off they go. 5 10 minutes
147. 5:28later, here comes another ambulance.
148. 5:29They put the new person in, off they go.
149. 5:32So, they're making pretty efficient use
150. 5:33of it. Particularly that UW medical
151. 5:36pilot.
152. 5:37>> Yeah.
153. 5:37>> He's often uh going bringing and and
154. 5:41taking on the same trip on the same
155. 5:43route trip.
156. 5:44>> Yeah.
157. 5:44>> Yeah. I'm sure they'd like to have that
158. 5:46internet. That would be helpful to them.
159. 5:48>> He does.
160. 5:49>> Okay. So, the last item we talked about
161. 5:51was the fencing
162. 5:52>> block. Yeah. Um and so maybe we should
163. 5:55get a little update on fencing.
164. 5:57>> So the fencing is we are moving ahead
165. 6:00with it. Um obviously we're going to
166. 6:03keep the layout plan as it is right now.
167. 6:06Um so we'll start phase one. We're
168. 6:09waiting for everything all are we got
169. 6:12the funding for the AIG.
170. 6:14We're just waiting on the engineering
171. 6:18>> which is underway. I spoke to the two
172. 6:20surveyors who were there for almost a
173. 6:21week.
174. 6:22>> Yeah. So they went out and fed
175. 6:23everywhere all all really they need to
176. 6:26um just waiting to hear back from them
177. 6:28and then move ahead.
178. 6:29>> It's phase one the [clears throat] south
179. 6:31side of the airport east west
180. 6:33>> it will be
181. 6:34>> the north is the north side.
182. 6:39>> No I thought it would be south.
183. 6:42>> Okay southite.
184. 6:44>> So from yards.
185. 6:46>> Yes.
186. 6:47>> Okay west. So we're going east and all
187. 6:50that.
188. 6:51>> Yeah. I'll include all the gates and
189. 6:52they go around.
190. 6:53>> Okay.
191. 6:54>> So the phase three is red's place
192. 6:56>> because of the
193. 6:58>> complexity.
194. 6:59>> Yes.
195. 6:59>> So I talked to engineers about that. So
196. 7:02>> but the fence is on the south side of
197. 7:03the driveway.
198. 7:04>> Correct.
199. 7:05>> Right.
200. 7:06>> So how is that all that alalfa and all
201. 7:08that how is he going to get into because
202. 7:10that that'll clear down the ditch.
203. 7:12Right. No no no. It cuts off right to
204. 7:15you.
205. 7:17>> Oh yeah. That's why that's why phase
206. 7:19three is you're the last phase of it
207. 7:21because I have to get all that cleaned
208. 7:22out first
209. 7:23>> and then it comes right across your
210. 7:26right by your area.
211. 7:27>> So south side
212. 7:29>> Yeah. We're not going all the way to the
213. 7:30road,
214. 7:31>> right? So you go down to corner of Bob's
215. 7:33hanger and [clears throat] the gate will
216. 7:34be there.
217. 7:34>> Yeah.
218. 7:35>> Okay.
219. 7:35>> So where's your starting point? I'm a
220. 7:37little bit confused.
221. 7:38>> It's orange. It's back by
222. 7:40>> Okay. Over the southeast corner then.
223. 7:42>> Yeah.
224. 7:43>> Yeah. Southwest.
225. 7:46But then it's got to go over what phase
226. 7:48is that that goes
227. 7:48>> and then it goes over to the east.
228. 7:50>> It goes up to yours.
229. 7:51>> It goes up to your orange
230. 7:52>> and then heads west.
231. 7:53>> Yeah.
232. 7:54>> And then it goes west.
233. 7:55>> That's phase.
234. 7:56>> The phase three is over by the uh oh the
235. 8:01radio station over there where the
236. 8:03farmer keeps on.
237. 8:04>> Oh. Oh yeah. Yeah. The AWS. Yeah.
238. 8:06>> Yeah. That was in
239. 8:07>> By the way, I have some choice footage
240. 8:08for you. High definition video.
241. 8:10>> I appreciate that.
242. 8:11>> We'll talk about that later.
243. 8:12>> Okay. Okay.
244. 8:15When is that supposed to start?
245. 8:16>> Uh, right now I'm not sure. I'm hoping
246. 8:18fiscal year. This is the fiscal year
247. 8:20supposed to start, but I'm guessing 2027
248. 8:24will be the starting point. Spring of
249. 8:2627.
250. 8:27>> Yeah.
251. 8:31>> Okay. So, it under sort of new business,
252. 8:34the airport emergency plan. Red was not
253. 8:37there when the fire started down south
254. 8:40here.
255. 8:40>> Mhm. I was and I immediately called I
256. 8:43have a client owns 8,000 acres over
257. 8:45there. I called him so he could engage
258. 8:48and he actually hired a private
259. 8:50contractor to come and try to save the
260. 8:53buildings. So they lost only a pump
261. 8:56house
262. 8:56>> really
263. 8:57>> which is Yeah. pretty amazing. Where's
264. 9:00>> that's a land or park
265. 9:04>> just just south of word or word gap was
266. 9:08it pop up the hill?
267. 9:09>> Yeah.
268. 9:09>> Yeah. any back up there like
269. 9:11>> from there over to the map and from
270. 9:13there
271. 9:16>> they don't like.
272. 9:18>> So what happened was all of a sudden
273. 9:22um here came two big helicopters the
274. 9:25Blackhawks
275. 9:26with the snorkels.
276. 9:27>> Mhm.
277. 9:28>> So they put up those little portable
278. 9:29pools and they had tankers feeding them.
279. 9:33But then next two semiis showed up with
280. 9:35jet A. So every two hours those big
281. 9:38helicopters would cycle back to get fuel
282. 9:40and then there was two small helicopters
283. 9:42that built 407s. One of them was a
284. 9:45private contractor to DNR and there was
285. 9:48a contractor Fishial Wildlife the feds
286. 9:51and so they were doing the same thing.
287. 9:54They were coming in to get fuel and they
288. 9:56were dipping out they had a bucket. They
289. 9:57were doing the bucket thing.
290. 9:59>> Uh but it was completely disorganized.
291. 10:02The first thing they did is they tried
292. 10:03to move in on on rent pad. I said,
293. 10:05"Stop." Wait a minute. That's a business
294. 10:08there. And the fire does not affect
295. 10:10where he's flying. And so I called him
296. 10:13and he said, "Absolutely. I got
297. 10:15business. Don't let him on." And there's
298. 10:18a million acres there for him. So they
299. 10:20sort of Well, okay. So then they moved
300. 10:22and they camped right in front. So they
301. 10:24shut our fuel off. Okay. Which if they'd
302. 10:27have moved 20 yards, we wouldn't have
303. 10:29had to do that. But anyway, they took it
304. 10:32over and it just wasn't organized. And
305. 10:33then I had people knocking on the door.
306. 10:36Oh, I need to charge my phone. Can I
307. 10:38plug into your uh thinking, you have a
308. 10:42vehicle, don't you? Don't you have a
309. 10:43vehicle charger? Anyway, it was it was
310. 10:46sort of chaos. So, I'll take on the
311. 10:50first shot at drafting because the
312. 10:53primary emergency that we're going to
313. 10:54face is fire. So likely to be fire is
314. 10:57likely to be where they'll come in and
315. 11:00need to sort of and I don't they did not
316. 11:03issue a note.
317. 11:04>> They didn't tell.
318. 11:06>> So if we just have a simple procedure
319. 11:08where they issue the notm and we have a
320. 11:11defined parking area for them, the
321. 11:13fueling area,
322. 11:14>> then we can still continue on with our
323. 11:16business because it's irrigated all
324. 11:18around us. That's not going to burn.
325. 11:20>> No.
326. 11:20>> But the fires are on the rattlesnake
327. 11:22site.
328. 11:23>> Yeah. Yeah.
329. 11:23>> So, like I explained to Red that day
330. 11:25when he because he called me
331. 11:27>> and I was like,
332. 11:28>> "What's going on?" Had no clue. So, I
333. 11:31got that fixed. We have my number on.
334. 11:34>> Okay.
335. 11:34>> We have my number, my cell phone number
336. 11:36on the website. Okay. It did have the
337. 11:39office number, which come Monday, they
338. 11:42did call. I didn't get back into town
339. 11:44until late. And then, so Monday morning
340. 11:46when I checked it, I had two missed
341. 11:48messages.
342. 11:49>> Yeah.
343. 11:49>> But the thing is, they shouldn't attempt
344. 11:52it. There's no way that they couldn't
345. 11:54have figured out who to call, you know.
346. 11:56Um
347. 11:59county, I know deputy or now Chief Bay
348. 12:02was out there. He has my cell phone
349. 12:04number. Um all, you know, being with the
350. 12:06Yakma County Fire that I was, they all
351. 12:09have my cell phone number. So,
352. 12:10>> so they could have called and we could
353. 12:12have we could have got this organized
354. 12:14and taken care of it. But I am going to
355. 12:16be working with them and letting them
356. 12:18know
357. 12:18>> please do not take over airport because
358. 12:20I the rest explained
359. 12:22>> when he called me is we had more planes
360. 12:25coming in.
361. 12:26>> I think we had a medic flight that day
362. 12:29>> and then like you said they're parked in
363. 12:31front of our fuel system which they're
364. 12:33just camped out there. Everybody was
365. 12:35trying to fill up and not getting in
366. 12:36there. Yeah.
367. 12:37>> So I am going to be working with them.
368. 12:39I'm going to let them know that we're
369. 12:41going to design a program. So this is
370. 12:43who you call if I'm if I can't be
371. 12:46attempted because like I stated I called
372. 12:49the notm right after Grant had told me
373. 12:51and we got that notm done
374. 12:52>> that that 407 it was the pilot was super
375. 12:55polite. He was the first one to show up.
376. 12:57He lands like right there and he said
377. 13:00where would be a good place for me to
378. 13:01set up cuz I'm going to have a fuel
379. 13:03truck come and tend me and you know
380. 13:05we're probably going to camp out
381. 13:06overnight because we're going to be here
382. 13:08it looks like for two days. I said,
383. 13:09'Well, uh, how about the parking area
384. 13:12down, you know, below there to to the
385. 13:15east, and he goes, "Oh, that'd be
386. 13:17perfect." So, down he goes. He went down
387. 13:19there. It wasn't bothering us at all.
388. 13:21The DNR guys just show up and they were
389. 13:23actually starting to unload stuff in
390. 13:24front of Reds.
391. 13:25>> And I go, "Wait a minute. I got to talk
392. 13:28to him." And so, I called and he said,
393. 13:29"Absolutely not. I got stuff going on."
394. 13:31And so anyway, um it it it
395. 13:36I I had the same experience at a
396. 13:38different airport.
397. 13:40>> And so I think it's a characteristic of
398. 13:42DNR.
399. 13:43>> No. And I I explain to Red, they they
400. 13:46they like to take over. I mean, which
401. 13:48understand
402. 13:49>> we understand we do have an emergency.
403. 13:51There is a fire going on, but at the
404. 13:53same time, we all have they have to be
405. 13:55cordial us just as we're cordial to
406. 13:57them. But um it's all in a mutual
407. 13:59respect. I don't think it it's wonderful
408. 14:00to be here as a resource, the support. I
409. 14:04got to tell you, if I was going to rate
410. 14:07what they did on the fire, I'd give them
411. 14:09a good grade overall.
412. 14:11>> They did throw the big resources at it
413. 14:13until it got away from it,
414. 14:14>> which is classic because it's not
415. 14:16categorized as a high threat until it
416. 14:19gets away from them. And then they when
417. 14:21they brought in those heavy tankers, the
418. 14:23big twins and the jets, they were coming
419. 14:26overhead from the airport like every
420. 14:28five or six minutes. And I've got I I
421. 14:32went up and shot about 600 aerial photos
422. 14:34of the whole burn. And you can see where
423. 14:37they saved individual houses by making
424. 14:40like a hashtag. One pass, one pass, one
425. 14:43pass, one pass. Just a perfect square
426. 14:46sitting right on top of them. And
427. 14:47there's the house and everything's
428. 14:49clean. didn't uh locate Proser.
429. 14:52>> That was my next That was my next
430. 14:53question when I try to get a hold of him
431. 14:55is why didn't they go to Proer? Because
432. 14:57the river's right there.
433. 14:59>> It's a lot closer to Gat.
434. 15:01>> Yeah.
435. 15:01>> Of course. Of course. The fire started
436. 15:02over here.
437. 15:03>> It started over here. Yeah. It started
438. 15:05in Mton off of like
439. 15:08>> this way
440. 15:09>> about 9 or 10 miles west of Baptist
441. 15:18about halfway. I'm going to say this.
442. 15:19>> You can see the origin. I've got aerial
443. 15:21photos of it,
444. 15:22>> but once it took off, you know.
445. 15:26>> Yeah. And those high winds, natural
446. 15:29covering grass, once it takes off with
447. 15:30that high winds, it's going to take off.
448. 15:32>> Humidity was in the teens. Temperatures
449. 15:34were in the 90s.
450. 15:35>> This is nightmare on Elm Street.
451. 15:37>> Yeah.
452. 15:37>> But I I was proud of them because they
453. 15:39sent two super scoopers. Mhm.
454. 15:42>> So those came from Wan that
455. 15:45they sent two big uh dash8s.
456. 15:48>> Mhm.
457. 15:48>> Those came out of Moses Lake and they
458. 15:51sent four of the uh air bosses the fire
459. 15:55bosses [clears throat]
460. 15:57>> plus I think there were seven
461. 15:58helicopters working that fire. So they
462. 16:01had a heck of an aerial uh force there
463. 16:04working on it. And I I give them a lot
464. 16:06of credit when you go look at how it
465. 16:07burned. They kept finishing it in. They
466. 16:09couldn't shut it off, but they kept
467. 16:11pitching in so it didn't turn and run
468. 16:13sort of either direction.
469. 16:16They did the best they could.
470. 16:18>> Uh, Hector, I was just going to comment
471. 16:21down at the airport.
472. 16:22>> Mhm.
473. 16:23>> Thanks to Mr. Dolan,
474. 16:25natur
475. 16:29>> right there.
476. 16:29>> Right there. And the Lexan that's on it
477. 16:33needs to be replaced. It's been there
478. 16:35for 15 years.
479. 16:36>> 20 20. Time goes fast. But anyway, that
480. 16:41would be an ideal spot because there is
481. 16:43nothing behind those
482. 16:47plastic and that' be an ideal spot in
483. 16:49case of emergency.
484. 16:50>> Here's what you did.
485. 16:53>> That's a great idea.
486. 16:54>> Yeah,
487. 16:55>> that's just it's so logical. Yeah,
488. 16:58>> I mean the billboard's there. It's just
489. 17:00a matter of changing those Lexan panels
490. 17:03out.
491. 17:03>> I mean, it might be out 100 bucks.
492. 17:05>> I bet. Yeah.
493. 17:07>> Yeah. We we ran power off the off the
494. 17:10hanger, I think.
495. 17:11>> Yeah, we did. Yeah, there's power like
496. 17:14>> big problem.
497. 17:16>> Yeah, that's when J. Yeah. Yeah.
498. 17:18>> Yeah.
499. 17:19>> Our rotor was the one that did the
500. 17:21restroom.
501. 17:21>> Oh, I still have that Mercury for you.
502. 17:23You know, I can't do anything with it.
503. 17:28>> So, yeah. No, that's a great idea. Yeah,
504. 17:30we'll we'll get something there to um
505. 17:33form that out. Oh,
506. 17:35>> and I don't have any excuse, you know,
507. 17:37it's it's right there.
508. 17:40>> So, um I raised an issue over the drone
509. 17:43activity. There was a correct and um
510. 17:48legible, accurate.
511. 17:49>> Do we have an
512. 17:51>> Do we have an agenda we're working off?
513. 17:52I must have missed it or something right
514. 17:54here
515. 17:58at the bottom.
516. 17:59>> Yes, there you are. Right here. Okay.
517. 18:02Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
518. 18:05Sorry, I I don't don't So I I knew there
519. 18:09was drone activity. I saw the notam. The
520. 18:13drone's large. I mean, this is a three
521. 18:15three and a half foot
522. 18:17>> quadcot. It's a big boy. It's probably
523. 18:1965 75 pounds.
524. 18:21>> Now, if you're going 120 mph in an
525. 18:24airplane and you hit that, that's a
526. 18:26really bad day for both the drone and
527. 18:28the the airplane was in the airplane.
528. 18:31And what caught my attention was I
529. 18:34happened to be getting a te and I was
530. 18:35upstairs I see a a guy come overhead in
531. 18:39the pattern. He was landing on 07 as
532. 18:42turbo lance
533. 18:44and I was just you know every pilot
534. 18:45watches the other guy land is what you
535. 18:47do. He was making a nice landing. All of
536. 18:49a sudden I saw something close to me go
537. 18:53by. It's the drone. The drone went over
538. 18:55is about eight or nine feet above the
539. 18:56runway right where this guy was coming.
540. 18:59And apparently the drone operator saw
541. 19:02him and went [snorts] and he addled off
542. 19:05in a hurry, but I mentioned it to him
543. 19:08when he pulled up to the pump. And then
544. 19:10the next airplane in was a 150 out of
545. 19:13Pasco Bergstrom with a CFI in the right
546. 19:17seat and a student pilot in the left
547. 19:18seat.
548. 19:20And I same thing again, the drone was
549. 19:23actually over the taxi way, not over the
550. 19:25runway. And again, when the aircraft got
551. 19:28within, I would say 300 yards, the drone
552. 19:31departed from the airspace, and I'm sure
553. 19:34they had a legit thing and it was
554. 19:36published ahead of time. But that CFI
555. 19:38was mad.
556. 19:40And who is he mad at? He's mad at
557. 19:42himself because his student starts
558. 19:43asking him,
559. 19:44>> "Well, how come you didn't check the No.
560. 19:48>> Okay. What was what was the drone doing
561. 19:50on the airplane?" [clears throat] Who's
562. 19:51was it
563. 19:51>> surveying? It was one of the engineering
564. 19:53guys.
565. 19:54>> Oh, no. They've used the drone. It has
566. 19:57GPS and it it
567. 20:00>> they they use it in the mapping thing
568. 20:01for images.
569. 20:03>> Fencing or
570. 20:04>> Yes,
571. 20:05>> I think for the fencing, but I'm not I
572. 20:07can't figure out why he was over the
573. 20:08runway
574. 20:09>> and then he was on your pad for a while,
575. 20:11then he went down the taxi way. Maybe
576. 20:14they were mapping the whole airport for
577. 20:17the all those white they painted
578. 20:20>> those orange spots.
579. 20:21>> It's unusual to see them at 8 to 10
580. 20:23feet. Normally they're up at like 60 or
581. 20:2580 feet so wide angle cameras they can
582. 20:28capture you know they were down like if
583. 20:31they [clears throat] heard the telephone
584. 20:32they close
585. 20:35when Lucia or Adam know that they were
586. 20:38there
587. 20:38>> Adam are you still on
588. 20:40>> Yeah he's there take your mic off
589. 20:45>> that wasn't our drone there I asked the
590. 20:46CO we weren't uh we took pictures like
591. 20:49two days before but yeah that wasn't us.
592. 20:51Okay.
593. 20:53>> And then I'll follow up with HLA. They
594. 20:55have at least notify us.
595. 20:56>> They were all over that place.
596. 20:58>> You have to Can you figure out who filed
597. 21:00the notm?
598. 21:01>> Sure you can.
599. 21:02>> Yeah, you can.
600. 21:03>> Yeah, there's a way to figure that out.
601. 21:07>> But you I I want to admit as a pilot, I
602. 21:09often go into uncontrolled fields like
603. 21:11Sunnyside without looking at without
604. 21:13checking for no tabs. Yeah. particularly
605. 21:14if it's a place that you go like every
606. 21:16week or something. It's just, you know,
607. 21:19complacency habit is a bad habit. But um
608. 21:23it's, you know, and I one day I flew to
609. 21:26Waterville and they were painting the
610. 21:27runway that day and there was a no dam.
611. 21:30When I get there, I'm circling my
612. 21:31client's waiting for me. Finally, I just
613. 21:33called on phone and say, "I'm going to
614. 21:34go land at Mansfield." So, I'm going to
615. 21:36work.
616. 21:38Yeah. What day was this? They were
617. 21:40painting. No, what day was this? Oh,
618. 21:43when they were the drones. Yeah. What
619. 21:44day did I email you?
620. 21:46>> Tuesday.
621. 21:47>> I think so. I think it was Tuesday. Last
622. 21:50week. Yeah.
623. 21:52I remember the lance being there with a
624. 21:55teetail.
625. 21:56>> Yeah.
626. 21:58I said it just was unusual to me that
627. 22:01I mean it wasn't unusual that that
628. 22:03somebody didn't read the note and just
629. 22:05came in and landed like normal.
630. 22:06>> I wouldn't have read it. But but the the
631. 22:08drone would they're not very visible
632. 22:10unless you're on the ground and they're
633. 22:12skylighted against the sky. When you're
634. 22:14up in the airplane,
635. 22:16>> they're muted colors. They're not and
636. 22:17and most of them do not have flashing
637. 22:19lights. This one did not. Now, some of
638. 22:22them do. They have a little strobe on
639. 22:23them, which is really helpful. This one
640. 22:26had no strobe,
641. 22:28>> but they should at least let us. I mean,
642. 22:30or at least myself or Adam know.
643. 22:32>> Yeah, you should know about every jam
644. 22:34that gets by.
645. 22:34>> Yeah. You know,
646. 22:35>> I didn't even know about it until like
647. 22:37said when you emailed me, I was like,
648. 22:38"Ah,
649. 22:39>> but but that instructor was bad." Sure.
650. 22:42I didn't mean to make him look bad in
651. 22:43front of a student, but a student's
652. 22:44like, "Well, why didn't you check for a
653. 22:46note? You always tell me to."
654. 22:51>> So, yeah, we all definitely let each
655. 22:53other know if they were going to fly
656. 22:55around there, they need to
657. 22:56>> Yeah. I just I saw it was an issue that
658. 22:59we should chat for about they were out
659. 23:02there for
660. 23:03>> several days.
661. 23:05There were there were two days that I
662. 23:06don't
663. 23:06>> there were three days and they were they
664. 23:08put white marks everywhere.
665. 23:10>> Oh yeah marks they wereing I watched
666. 23:13them on the cameras for
667. 23:15put
668. 23:16>> no the guys
669. 23:19>> yeah they're getting ready for the
670. 23:20fencing though that's why they were out
671. 23:21there.
672. 23:22>> So it answered my question that I raised
673. 23:23two meetings ago about why are we
674. 23:25spending 138,000 on engineering
675. 23:29>> and for the fence and that explains it
676. 23:32right there. That's expensive stuff. You
677. 23:33got two engineers and you know they
678. 23:35they've been camped out basically for
679. 23:38two or three weeks to do this whole
680. 23:39project. They've been there for two or
681. 23:41three weeks.
682. 23:42>> The engineers or the the surveyors?
683. 23:45>> Well, I don't know. Sometimes
684. 23:46>> the engineers wouldn't be out there. It
685. 23:48just be surveyors.
686. 23:49>> Yeah, it's the two guys were surveyors
687. 23:52that I talked to.
688. 23:53>> One day there was a third guy out there
689. 23:55and they said, "Oh, that's the
690. 23:56engineer."
691. 23:57>> Okay. That's Stephanie who's an
692. 23:58assistant to the engineer,
693. 24:00>> right?
694. 24:00>> Yeah.
695. 24:01>> Yeah. Yeah. So, does anybody have any
696. 24:03new business that they would like to
697. 24:05bring to the committee to discuss?
698. 24:07>> So, Adrian and I went to Wasco. We came
699. 24:10back in the dark. And so, if you imagine
700. 24:12the line that goes from Wasco to
701. 24:14Sunnyside, so we we right at the top of
702. 24:17the hill for Hill, you could see Proer's
703. 24:22rotating beacon. You see the runway. You
704. 24:24couldn't really see the runways very
705. 24:25well, but definitely see the rotating
706. 24:27beacon. And we looked and looked and at
707. 24:29that time where we were at is 19 miles
708. 24:32to Sunnyside. It was 19 miles to Crosser
709. 24:35and I know that whole time didn't even
710. 24:37exist.
711. 24:38>> And so I went down and took some
712. 24:40pictures the videos the other night.
713. 24:42They've got a lit wind sock now which is
714. 24:46that's pretty cool. You can see that
715. 24:49forever. The lights are all white white
716. 24:52lights.
717. 24:53And so I went out I checked our lights
718. 24:55and we've have two different kinds of
719. 24:56bulbs. We got a frosty little bulb and
720. 24:59then we have a clear.
721. 25:00>> That's what you were telling me.
722. 25:01>> Yeah. And so I switched them, you know,
723. 25:05because the our north side of the runway
724. 25:07is like a candle burning and the right
725. 25:09side or the south side is like a it's
726. 25:12it's brighter but not a whole bunch. But
727. 25:14in comparison to Proser, Proser has
728. 25:173,000 lumens. We've got 300 lumens. You
729. 25:21know, that's a big difference. That's a
730. 25:22big difference. Um are those LED down
731. 25:24there?
732. 25:25>> I don't know. I didn't I stayed 1,000
733. 25:28feet from the rotating beacon and I
734. 25:30filmed that and then I went down to ours
735. 25:33at 1,000 ft same night and it's like our
736. 25:39white is orange and our green is lime.
737. 25:43Now their green light is definitely it's
738. 25:47bright. Both lights are bright. D
739. 25:49remember when we came back we had that
740. 25:51day we went down to Idaho and Montana.
741. 25:54We're looking at other planes.
742. 25:55>> Oh yeah. Yeah. And you remember when we
743. 25:57came back, I could not see the rotating
744. 25:58beacon either.
745. 25:59>> Yeah.
746. 25:59>> And I did call you or I know I messaged
747. 26:01you.
748. 26:03>> The city sign right next to the fuel
749. 26:05tank. The two pair of lights that line
750. 26:07up with that.
751. 26:08>> The north lights out.
752. 26:11>> Yeah. I just used the GPS to line up the
753. 26:13runway and come in.
754. 26:14>> Yeah.
755. 26:16Adrian's not coming.
756. 26:19blade up there.
757. 26:22>> How do we get a new vegan?
758. 26:23>> I don't know if I need a new
759. 26:26lens.
760. 26:28>> It's either dirty or because they in in
761. 26:31201
762. 26:3315 I think 2015 when that thing would
763. 26:36rotate. It come through the the upstairs
764. 26:38and you could see it on the wall. It was
765. 26:40bright. Now it's so money.
766. 26:43>> Yeah, maybe it's a multiple bulb dealer
767. 26:46down to one bulb or something. Lens may
768. 26:48may have to be cleaned, too.
769. 26:50>> But our runway been a while there. We're
770. 26:52going out.
771. 26:53>> Yeah.
772. 26:54>> Yeah. Strobes are famous for being able
773. 26:56to be seen at 15 miles.
774. 26:58>> Oh, you can. Adrian says, "Where's the
775. 27:00Sunnyside airport?" And I said, "Well,
776. 27:01it's got to be right there. Going to be
777. 27:03close." We kept flying. It's flying. And
778. 27:04we're looking at Proer and it's Devon.
779. 27:07We get closer and closer. She goes, "I
780. 27:08still don't see it." And we're probably
781. 27:10over
782. 27:11Mapton by then.
783. 27:13>> You just go to Proer, line up the
784. 27:15Walmart, and come this way. Well, I mean
785. 27:17Walmart distribution. If it wasn't for
786. 27:19Walmart that new those new lights are at
787. 27:21the gas station, you wouldn't know.
788. 27:22>> Yeah.
789. 27:23>> What time was it?
790. 27:24>> This was two weeks ago.
791. 27:25>> Oh jeez. Yeah. Yeah. Because we had
792. 27:28Well, we had fog that one morning and it
793. 27:31was it was gone by [clears throat] 8
794. 27:349:00. But it was you couldn't even see
795. 27:38anything down below it. I mean looking
796. 27:41down and I thought, "Wow, that's thick."
797. 27:42>> It's got an ice.
798. 27:44This was about 8 8:30 the other night
799. 27:48>> and he I says we've done this trip how
800. 27:50many times we go
801. 27:52you land at Bosco and then you walk down
802. 27:54the hill and you go to that cavern they
803. 27:55got good burgers and stuff so we
804. 27:59>> yeah really cool you can actually taxi
805. 28:02here
806. 28:04>> you can you could if you want the runway
807. 28:07comes right off and goes right right
808. 28:09down the hill but uh anyway the
809. 28:14That process is well that wind sock
810. 28:20that's prock.
811. 28:22>> Oh jeez.
812. 28:22>> Yeah, you can really see that dude.
813. 28:24>> Let me hear that LEDs.
814. 28:26>> That's just a lit.
815. 28:28>> Oh jeez.
816. 28:29>> Yeah.
817. 28:30>> And the runway lights are but I think
818. 28:32they just they worked on that runway
819. 28:34here what two months ago
820. 28:37>> because they had no set process. They
821. 28:38had it shut down and I think they put in
822. 28:40all new lights.
823. 28:42>> Yeah. They not fit. I remember there was
824. 28:44a there was a crew over there working.
825. 28:47They did put new lights in.
826. 28:48>> But that that uh beacon is
827. 28:52>> way if you can go different pictures and
828. 28:55just take that dude
829. 28:58>> and then you go you go to Sunnyside it's
830. 29:01just like thousand feet from there from
831. 29:04the rotation of vegan sunny side is
832. 29:05about well it's past yorns. It's
833. 29:10the biggest pass of 7,500 yards past
834. 29:12your I sat there and I it's like this is
835. 29:14a joke and so I went to the other end
836. 29:16which towards almost to the end is
837. 29:18another thousand ft from the rotating
838. 29:21beacon and it's
839. 29:23they make a [clears throat]
840. 29:26they call it beehive and it's um all
841. 29:28LEDs the whole picture is LED so if we
842. 29:32went out and tried that sometime
843. 29:35>> does the city [clears throat] have a
844. 29:36budget for the report money in the
845. 29:39budget.
846. 29:39>> We have a budget, but it doesn't have
847. 29:41any numbers on it.
848. 29:43>> Our our wind saw, you know, we're old
849. 29:46school. We got the H hallogens point
850. 29:48down at it and it's
851. 29:51you can't see it when you go top. I
852. 29:54don't even I don't fly at night stuff.
853. 29:57And I leave here in the dark. I go to
854. 29:59Royal, but I don't even look at that
855. 30:00stuff. And I am getting comments from
856. 30:02pilots about the camera. A lot of them
857. 30:05said, "Oh, you know, look kind of
858. 30:06sketchy." So I went on and looked at the
859. 30:08camera. I look okay. So I come on down
860. 30:11by the fuel. Yeah,
861. 30:14that works pretty good. That's okay. I
862. 30:17mean, when it's raining on a day like
863. 30:19today, sunny side. [clears throat]
864. 30:22>> Well, yeah, that's that's the the
865. 30:24irrigation
866. 30:26issue. But in case you're wondering,
867. 30:28>> if anybody's if any guys are coming
868. 30:30back, want to come back and you can't
869. 30:32get on the cameras, call me because I
870. 30:33get on my camera and let you know. Oh,
871. 30:35it's great.
872. 30:37>> Come on back.
873. 30:39>> I can't see anything.
874. 30:42>> I I went up we came over a tan and you
875. 30:46know it was all black. I was looking
876. 30:47down because at night
877. 30:51what do you see? Nothing.
878. 30:52>> Yeah.
879. 30:52>> You know, and then all of a sudden it's
880. 30:55going over the top of that thing.
881. 30:58That's what would be nice is to go the
882. 31:01big Vox because you could put one on the
883. 31:04[clears throat]
884. 31:05by rotating I mean by the wind sock and
885. 31:08it probably light that thing
886. 31:11>> those white light they use them a lot in
887. 31:13the construction
888. 31:15the iron workers use them a lot up
889. 31:18>> well LEDs have just changed everything
890. 31:19for lighting
891. 31:20>> oh it's just in their so low you don't
892. 31:23use
893. 31:24>> they just run forever yeah
894. 31:27>> you put 15 string strings on our little
895. 31:29Christmas tree float that's mounted on a
896. 31:32zeroturn mower. You might see it, but we
897. 31:35had 15 strings on there and it was run
898. 31:37by a little Honda 2000 generator inside
899. 31:40there out the back and
900. 31:42>> yeah,
901. 31:43>> it didn't even come out of idle. All
902. 31:45that the music, you know, the and the
903. 31:48incredible. I thought, man, this these
904. 31:50LEDs are great.
905. 31:51>> We got power. Yeah, we have Patrick got
906. 31:53lights on. We just need a lid and sock.
907. 31:57I do away with that.
908. 31:59>> Do they do they that one that you have a
909. 32:01picture of is that that's in Proer?
910. 32:03>> Yeah.
911. 32:05>> Find out.
912. 32:06>> This is the time of year that I'm
913. 32:07starting to do nightfall.
914. 32:09>> Yeah, it's nice. I run out of daytime.
915. 32:12Yeah.
916. 32:12>> Yeah. Run out of daytime. So at the
917. 32:14equinox at halfway point
918. 32:17>> better than daytime. I told Hector, I
919. 32:19said, "If you guys buy the bulbs, I
920. 32:21mean, it's literally, it takes
921. 32:2430 seconds, pop that clamp off,
922. 32:28take the lens off, unscrew the bulb, put
923. 32:30the new bulb in, put it back together,
924. 32:32onto the next. You could do two guys
925. 32:34could do that.
926. 32:35>> Yeah, you can do that in an hour.
927. 32:37Replace every one of those poles.
928. 32:39>> Yeah, I'm I can run out and take a look
929. 32:40at them. I mean, I the I tone somewhere
930. 32:45else.
931. 32:47[laughter] Here you can buy it right
932. 32:49online. Blade wind socks.
933. 32:51>> That's a That's a two bulb we got.
934. 32:53>> Oh jeez.
935. 32:54>> Yeah, we got to go to LED.
936. 32:57>> LEDs make sense.
937. 32:59>> Okay. This one does the one that Thomas
938. 33:02Edison made. [laughter]
939. 33:04>> They actually screw in. They don't.
940. 33:06>> Yeah. This the clear one. The the
941. 33:09frosted one says nothing on the top. The
942. 33:11clear one says something about
943. 33:13>> it has an aviation marking on it.
944. 33:15>> Oh, it does. So, I don't know if it's a
945. 33:16special bulb or what, but
946. 33:18>> a real thick filament. Maybe
947. 33:19>> he told me that there's a box somewhere
948. 33:22or not box, a room somewhere that had it
949. 33:25was full of these bulbs.
950. 33:26>> Alvarez.
951. 33:27>> Yeah.
952. 33:28>> Oh, I'll go talk to him.
953. 33:29>> He says, but I don't that he says it's
954. 33:31been a few years ago.
955. 33:32>> Well, and those would work until we
956. 33:34figure out better. Myself, I'm sold on
957. 33:36LEDs. So,
958. 33:37>> Oh, yeah.
959. 33:38>> We get we get the chance. Well,
960. 33:41>> I don't think it has to be anything
961. 33:43special. just a normal LED bulb, you can
962. 33:45just screw it in and be done. But
963. 33:46>> well, some of them, but you can get a
964. 33:48real high output.
965. 33:51Most a lot of them will work off of a
966. 33:53off of a transformer and then you can
967. 33:56really get very neat. But um because you
968. 33:59have like the beehives, they just plug
969. 34:01in 110
970. 34:03there. There's a lot of uh issues with
971. 34:07routing. That's processor's lights.
972. 34:10Yeah. Runway lights. Ours are like
973. 34:13candles. That's like true.
974. 34:16>> That's that lit.
975. 34:18>> Yeah.
976. 34:22>> Can we have Adam give us an update on
977. 34:23the hanger?
978. 34:25>> I'll get a internet quote on
979. 34:29our next Adam.
980. 34:31>> Oh, well, uh, the update is, uh, we're
981. 34:34still waiting for an environmental
982. 34:35review. Uh, calling Agnes every week.
983. 34:39Hector, I'm calling you every week. uh
984. 34:42trying to push on everyone if we can
985. 34:43maybe get a another conference call
986. 34:45scheduled with them. You know, sounds
987. 34:47like Laura is supposed to get back to us
988. 34:49there for the environmental, but uh
989. 34:51yeah, had a meeting with Mountain
990. 34:53States. They're ready to roll and all
991. 34:54the equipment's all the materials there
992. 34:56ready to wreck this thing. So, just need
993. 34:58a pore foundation, but um yeah, a little
994. 35:01frustrating.
995. 35:03>> Adam is I noticed one of those biffold
996. 35:06doors has a walkthrough door and only
997. 35:08one of them. Only one.
998. 35:10>> So, is that going to be the entry for
999. 35:12the whole hanger?
1000. 35:14>> No, each one should have one. So, I'll
1001. 35:16take a look at that.
1002. 35:17>> One of them has a door on, the other
1003. 35:18ones don't.
1004. 35:21>> Yeah, each one.
1005. 35:23>> Yeah. One's got a white, one stacked.
1006. 35:24So, there's two or three standing up. I
1007. 35:26think three standing up, two
1008. 35:28[clears throat] laying down. One of the
1009. 35:29ones laying down has a walk through
1010. 35:30door. I drove over there and looked at
1011. 35:32it today.
1012. 35:33>> Okay. Yeah, I'll go talk to Mountain
1013. 35:35States on that and we'll go walk it real
1014. 35:36quick. So, we need to order something or
1015. 35:39cut it in somehow. See what their plan
1016. 35:41is.
1017. 35:42>> That's going to be partitioned off on
1018. 35:44the inside, right?
1019. 35:45>> Yes.
1020. 35:45>> So, you can't get from bay to bay to
1021. 35:47bay. Corre correct. Yeah.
1022. 35:50>> I'll uh request a meeting with Angus
1023. 35:54tomorrow. Um I got to have two meetings
1024. 35:57with her. So,
1025. 35:59>> I will definitely and then I I'll email
1026. 36:01you. I'll put you on the email once I
1027. 36:03email her in the morning.
1028. 36:05>> Yeah. Kind of. Yeah. keep pushing them
1029. 36:07along. So,
1030. 36:10>> thanks Hector.
1031. 36:15>> Thanks.
1032. 36:17>> Where was your What was your
1033. 36:22>> Where you at on this courtesy vehicle?
1034. 36:26>> Vehicle is I have to contact another
1035. 36:28insurance. our insurance will not cover
1036. 36:30the
1037. 36:31>> might say Monica I think might be able
1038. 36:34to do something that and I talked to a
1039. 36:36pilot they were fueling up and I said
1040. 36:39yeah we'd like to do a flying one
1041. 36:44oh that would be so great you know
1042. 36:46>> oh add to the airports has courtesy car
1043. 36:50a community that's onetenth the size of
1044. 36:52sunny side Lopez island where I was this
1045. 36:54morning
1046. 36:55>> they have a courtesy car
1047. 36:58>> and uh You know, it's just a rural small
1048. 37:00island. So,
1049. 37:02>> and that's what I noticed when while we
1050. 37:04were doing a little project for Ted out
1051. 37:06there one time.
1052. 37:10>> We had dwell on that too much. In fact,
1053. 37:14>> but we uh we had planes coming in and as
1054. 37:18one girl drops in there and puts her
1055. 37:20cover on and right as she finishes, this
1056. 37:23car pulls up, picks you up, takes off.
1057. 37:26Thought, "Wow, that'd be neat to have a
1058. 37:28things set up ahead of time to where
1059. 37:31pilot comes in, you can just call or
1060. 37:34have there,
1061. 37:36you know, accessible there because then
1062. 37:39if you're registered and you check in,
1063. 37:41then your insurance covers,
1064. 37:44you know, run into town and
1065. 37:47so
1066. 37:50quite a few guys since I got put on this
1067. 37:52on this thing. I was pretty amused. A
1068. 37:54gentleman about my age uh flew in a
1069. 37:57little Highlander, little two seat sport
1070. 38:00class airplane and lots of contortions
1071. 38:04and stuff going on. He pulls out this
1072. 38:05folding bicycle from the back seat, gets
1073. 38:09it assembled, off he goes on his and
1074. 38:13about 35 minutes later comes back with
1075. 38:16like two Omar bags on each handlebar,
1076. 38:19you know,
1077. 38:21>> electric bikes, you know. Yeah, a lot of
1078. 38:23them are electric, but uh this is
1079. 38:26>> this is I never seen anybody do that
1080. 38:28before to go over to the Walmart and
1081. 38:30shop.
1082. 38:31>> Yeah.
1083. 38:32>> Like do they live in their airplane or
1084. 38:33you know if they have a house?
1085. 38:35>> Well, they probably remote, you know,
1086. 38:36like Wasco or somewhere not a Walmart.
1087. 38:41>> Well, that the one we did um
1088. 38:45it was just a barbecue and the cars and
1089. 38:47the music and stuff. We had a little
1090. 38:50party out there one time and I was well
1091. 38:52attended and this guy says, "Oh, we'd
1092. 38:54spread the word and get everybody with a
1093. 38:57set of wings coming in here and we're
1094. 38:59all excited about." So, I mentioned it
1095. 39:02at council meeting and then I thought,
1096. 39:04well, it's getting what time of year is
1097. 39:07it going to be the best to do something
1098. 39:08like that? But we put together a big
1099. 39:11barbecue out there and start cooking 30
1100. 39:1340 hamburgers.
1101. 39:16Yeah. to get around mall. That was kind
1102. 39:19of fun. That's when uh
1103. 39:22um
1104. 39:24what's his name? He's over in wall now.
1105. 39:29>> He was Jake.
1106. 39:30>> Oh, J.
1107. 39:33>> We we did a and this probably 30 years
1108. 39:35ago. We did a a
1109. 39:38young young eagles, you know, this
1110. 39:41program for kids to learn or just get
1111. 39:43exposure in a plane. Mhm.
1112. 39:45>> And the group from Yakma came down. I
1113. 39:47think we had about 10 or 15 planes just
1114. 39:49flying kids.
1115. 39:50>> Yeah. And we flew probably 60 or 80
1116. 39:53people kids out and kids get a free ride
1117. 39:56in an airplane and put two or three in a
1118. 39:58plane. I'll keep going [clears throat]
1119. 40:00fly them around. You read the EAA
1120. 40:03publications, the experimental aircraft
1121. 40:05association. They they sponsor a lot of
1122. 40:08these Eagle Day type things and then
1123. 40:11they do interviews.
1124. 40:13Apparently, they take their email or
1125. 40:15their phone numbers or something and
1126. 40:17they follow up. And it's surprising like
1127. 40:2010% of the people that get in the
1128. 40:22airplane for the first time when become
1129. 40:26trained pilots.
1130. 40:26>> Yeah.
1131. 40:27>> 10% of kids are adults.
1132. 40:30>> That's from the the the young eagle.
1133. 40:32>> Yeah. When they first get in, it's it's
1134. 40:34probably a lot lower scared to death.
1135. 40:38Well, we didn't bear it.
1136. 40:42>> But there was there was one girl that I
1137. 40:44I know of and she actually airline.
1138. 40:47>> Good for her. Yeah.
1139. 40:50>> Yeah. We had a gal come. It was 98
1140. 40:53degrees. She comes walking down the taxi
1141. 40:56way. It's at 4:00 in the afternoon.
1142. 40:59She's got her drink in one hand. She's
1143. 41:01got a pet carrier in the other hand. I
1144. 41:04had to go out. I had to see what's this
1145. 41:05story. And did you see her on the
1146. 41:07camera?
1147. 41:08>> It's about three weeks ago. And so I
1148. 41:11went out see if I could help her and she
1149. 41:12goes, "I got flat tire."
1150. 41:14>> Oh yeah.
1151. 41:14>> I bought this airplane. It's my third
1152. 41:16flight in this airplane and I got a flat
1153. 41:19tire. So I said, "Well, let me go get my
1154. 41:20air pump. I'll see if I can inflate it
1155. 41:22up." And the tube was bad. It turned out
1156. 41:25the tire was also bad. Called the guy
1157. 41:28from from the FBO in Yakaba. came
1158. 41:34whistling down and he and I and her we
1159. 41:37got it changed in like 35 minutes, you
1160. 41:39know, and got her on her way. But, you
1161. 41:42know, she was just kind of an unassuming
1162. 41:44maybe 40ish uh slim gal and she finally
1163. 41:48let out who goes, "Well, I'm a senior
1164. 41:50captain. I fly trip 7s to China for
1165. 41:53United once a week and my husband flies
1166. 41:56whatever equipment, etc." So, people's
1167. 42:00appearances are sometimes misleading.
1168. 42:02Yeah,
1169. 42:03>> but she did mention I asked her, "Well,
1170. 42:05how'd you get into piloting?" She goes,
1171. 42:06"Well,
1172. 42:08I went down to this local airport and
1173. 42:10they were giving rides." So, I said, "I
1174. 42:12got a ride." And thought to myself, "I
1175. 42:15need to do this." You know, so come to
1176. 42:19that fork in the road like Yo Bar says,
1177. 42:21you come to that fork of the road, you
1178. 42:22take it.
1179. 42:26Is there anything else? Anybody wants to
1180. 42:28draw on the Ben new business?
1181. 42:35You just hold your pen up.
1182. 42:37>> Yeah.

1184. 42:41>> No, I just wanted to go.
1185. 42:42>> Well, I think we can adjourn if that's
1186. 42:45it. We're going to discuss uh next
1187. 42:47meeting.

1189. 42:50want to do a poll by email?
1190. 42:53>> Uh it's up it's up to everybody. I mean,
1191. 42:56we can we can set it now or does
1192. 42:58everybody want to go monthto month or do
1193. 43:00we want to go every other month?
1194. 43:02>> Right now, every other month would cover
1195. 43:03it. Does anybody
1196. 43:04>> Well, I'm just kind of wondering if want
1197. 43:07if we want to talk about it lighting
1198. 43:08wind socks, that kind of stuff.
1199. 43:10>> We can.
1200. 43:10>> I think we ought to be
1201. 43:11>> and we should do it on a month basis

1224. 43:50order for all that rock to come in.

1228. 43:59not putting it over. So,
1229. 44:01>> so now we're running north south.
1230. 44:03>> We're going to go back to the original.
1231. 44:05And then I am working on with Angus
1232. 44:08hopefully that I can get some asphalt
1233. 44:10money. Then we can get that Um,

1246. 44:39>> 20th is four weeks out. You want to try
1247. 44:41and aim for the 20th? We can do that. We
1248. 44:43typically don't do
1249. 44:46November, December, and January, right?
1250. 44:48>> Yeah. Yeah, we typically don't. So,
1251. 44:50we'll add everything into October.
1252. 44:52>> Yeah. Whatever we need.
1253. 44:54>> Is 5:30 a workable time for everybody?
1254. 44:56>> Yeah.
1255. 44:58>> Just you know, when normally uh you
1256. 45:01know, Adrian is here, but he doesn't get
1257. 45:03off work until like 5:15.
1258. 45:07>> So, 5:30.
1259. 45:07>> That's why we moved to the 5:30.

1264. 45:17their on call.

1268. 45:25more screwed up now
1269. 45:26>> without that third surgery.

1280. 45:51and I put I Okay,
1281. 45:53>> that was my mistake. I called them. I
1282. 45:55should have emailed them like I did last
1283. 45:57time.
1284. 45:57>> I pulled through there
1285. 46:01three or four nights, five minutes, but
1286. 46:02there was like a young guy there trying
1287. 46:04to get fuel. It was dark. It was about
1288. 46:0610:30, 11:00. I was like, "What are

1290. 46:10at his card and get it get fuel and
1291. 46:13stuff and that purple lights that's got
1292. 46:16to go.

1296. 46:26new, it's been several years now.
1297. 46:28They're really bright and they're tilted
1298. 46:29in a way that, you know, so it doesn't
1299. 46:32>> my mine on the front of my hanger is
1300. 46:34really bright and I just leave it like
1301. 46:36that because yours is so dark. But that
1302. 46:38light above t we get more light off the
1303. 46:41city side as we off the accent light.
