Operation Report for May
During the month of May 2011 there were 74 flight operations. There were 4 med-evac operations during May 2011. The weather for May 2011 was “on again, off again” during much of the month. But even with weather conditions less than ideal, we are seeing the usual increase in air traffic that comes with the spring and summer.
With the unsettled weather there are several projects on hold at the airport. As soon as the weather shifts into a late spring/early summer mode we will see more activity. Several things need to be cleaned up, and with better weather then should be some construction commencing.
We have been mowing the airport…and mowing…and mowing. Each time it looks like summer is here, we start mowing again. And of course we are also spraying for weeds, which also re-appear with rain and sunshine.
On May 20, 2011 Rancho Tehama sent two airplanes to Corning to help fly over 90 kids as part of a Young Eagles event. We are hoping that either fall of this year or spring of 2012 we will be able to hold another Young Eagles event here at Rancho Tehama.
