Lodi’s Lowdown

Lodi’s Lowdown for the month of April was correctly answered by Nicholas Musashe, Dave Gardner and Wendy Gorham.

The name of NASA’s experimental aircraft pictured were the X-31, F-15S/MTD, SR-71, F-106, F-16XL, X-38, Radio Con-

trolled Mothership, and X-36. Thanks for answering!

The question for May is:

How many missions did the Space Shuttle Discovery Fly?

How many total days did it spend in space?

Please email your answers to [email protected].

NBAA Staff and Static Exhibitors made a special trip to KORL in April to fa-

miliarize themselves with our airport and to learn about the ramp improve-

ments that will be happening prior to the show. It was a nice opportunity

for us to show off our ample ramp space and get a better feel for their

needs this fall. As we’ve already mentioned, this year’s show will require

more ramp space than previous years to accommodate the size of the dis-

plays. This means that we will move more based aircraft for a longer period

of time in preparation for the show. But, keep in mind that NBAA will reim-

burse each based customer for the days their aircraft is displaced. We can-

not host a show like this without causing some disruption to the normal

flow at the airport. However, our goal is to always put the needs of our

based customers first!

NBAA 2012 Update

Thank you to all of our

airport friends for making

the Run for the Angels 5K

a success! As a result of

your participation and

support, the event raised

nearly $2000 for Angel

Flight Southeast. This

money will go to help

support Angel Flight’s mission of removing transportation as a barrier for

people seeking medical attention. Showalter would like to give a special

“THANK YOU” to our very own Rusty Fleming for his hard work in planning,

promoting and executing the event! Let’s do it again next year!
