IMPORTANT NOTICE

3 Dec 08

 

Everyone needs to know the correct procedure for locking the main gate at our John Long Road flying field.

 

Our lock must be looped inside the city lock.

Not into the chain beyond the city lock!!!

 

If our lock is locked into the chain beyond the city lock, the city will not be able to unlock the gate. In this case the city will simply cut our lock off and we will have to buy another lock.

 

Even worse, if this happens, the city will lock the gate back with their lock only and we will not be able to access the field until we get the city to unlock the gate. This will not usually happen on a weekend!

 

The reason for this notice is that the gate was found locked incorrectly on Thanksgiving Day.

Luckily we found the mistake, and not the city.

 

Happy holidays!

 

 

From: Dean Walker, 1Lt. CAP, Commander, Iredell Composite Squadron,

NC Wing Civil Air Patrol

 

I want to thank you very much for letting members of the Iredell Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol, visit the flying field on 7-19-08. We appreciate the opportunity to see what RC flying is about and to actually fly a plane. I believe everyone there had a good time. The instructors were great and encouraging. Thank you for working with Lt. Jacob Deal to help make this possible.
