From the Puckerbrush...

Runway: run' tex2html_wrap_inline173 way. noun. The most precious component of our flying field.

We have a proposal on the table to pave a portion of our packed dirt runway. This issue will come to a vote at the March meeting... so as a written voice of the club, I'm putting on my best ``objective'' hat and will review what I feel are the most relevant pros and cons of the proposal as it currently stands.

Here's the scoop. Russell Paving has provided the most tenable proposal to pave our field thus far. The pavement will be 1.5'' deep and will cover tex2html_wrap_inline177 . The total cost will be $8290 plus tax, coming to approximately $8500. Without additional revenue, the assessment to members would be $150 apiece but could be much less if funds were raised by other sources such as the County, the AMA, or raffles like at the DM airshow.
