- Drive on the ramp? All of the OLD MTH electronic entry cards stopped operating on June 12. If you want to drive to your plane or drive on the ramp, you MUST stop at the Airport Admin office upstairs at commercial terminal. See Stacy and she will help you with the paperwork. Be sure to bring vehicle tag numbers and your driver's license.
- Our own Dr. Julie Floyd will be giving FAA physicals the 4th Saturday of every month in Marathon. Call 305 292 4970 to make an appointment.
- Many of you asked for the Garmin 430/WAAS module in our Elite Flight Simulator and so it is now part of the system! Now, you can train exactly as you fly! The Garmin 430 is now a part of our simulator.
