  17. AWOS III Benefits: 1. Real Time Weather 2. Available In Flight or Pre-Flight 3. Allows Pilots to Make Safe, Educated Decisions

  18. Next Stop: Security & NAVAIDS Discussed Next Project with Owner: 1. Post 9/11 GA Security Needs 2. NAVAIDS Requiring Replacement 3. Maintain Airport Pavement 4. Maximize $150,000 Entitlement Funds “How Much Can We Get Out of One Project?”
