Fall Meeting, GAI Updates Articles / News Date: Nov 06, 2009 - 02:14 PM Greetings from GAI. I hope that you had a great summer and are enjoying the mostly clear, cool weather of early fall here in Maryland. There are a few exciting things going on around the airport that I'd like to share with you. MCAA Membership Meeting - December 16 First, our next general meeting will be held here at the airport on Wednesday, December 16 at 7 p.m. This will be an important event and we hope you can attend. In addition to conducting MCAA's official board elections and providing an update on happenings at GAI, we will host a seminar on "Safe and Neighborly Traffic Pattern Operations." Attendees will receive a copy of our brand new noise abatement brochure, which includes an aerial photo of the airport and surrounding neighborhoods, and some tips on how to fly safely while also respecting our neighbors. Our airport manager John Luke has been working hard on getting this brochure published soon, hopefully before the meeting. Wireless Internet Access Wifi is finally alive, well and reliable at GAI! Free wireless internet is now available throughout the terminal building and soon will cover the ramp and hangar areas. MCAA would like to extend a huge thank-you to Congressional Flying Club and our airport manager, John Luke, for joining forces on beefing up the equipment so that everyone here can get online from anywhere at the airport. Pilot Lounge Computers MCAA would also like to thank John Luke and the Revenue Authority for fixing the computers in the pilot's lounge, with the help of several resident pilots. Both PCs are now up and running and connected to the internet, so pilots can log on to check the weather and file flight plans. If you experience any problems with the computers in the lounge, or if you experience any interruption in the wireless internet connectivity at the airport, please notify John Luke.
