JANUARY SOLANO PILOTS ASSOCIATION MEETING 2009 As you are aware, our first meeting will not be held on New Years Day but will, for this month only, be held on the 8th. We are trying to increase our membership to over 125 so please bring your friends and other interested parties. Our Airport is too important to give up. The larger membership of the Solano Pilots Association will bring strength in numbers. A unitized force to promote positive airport management and leadership. PLEASE COME TO OUR MEETINGS AND BRING A FRIEND TO INCREASE OUR RANKS. NO F.B.O. ACTION BY COUNTY Solano County just isn't aware of the impact of having no flight training, non-competitive aircraft services, no sources for aviation periodicals, maps, etc. The lack of services makes many question the management style, not only of the Airport management but County as well. Many great things have been accomplished. Airport funding by FAA is one of the claims to fame by our Airport Manager. Andy has also published his first "Nut Tree Airport Newsletter", just in time for the New Year. We congratulate Mr. Swanson on finally getting that small item out. We all encourage him to make it a regular part of the communication at our airport. We encourage all of your Nut Tree Airport users and supporters to let your ideas be known. Come to all the meetings, run for leadership positions in the local organizations, and use the resources of this website as well as the other Nut Tree Blogs. Let's communicate what is on our minds and work for solutions for 2009. Happy New Year to All! GRAND JURY REPORT (NUT TREE AIRPORT) RELEASED The Solano County Grand Jury
