We have an exciting event coming up in May: for those of you who enjoy the “classic military” aircraft, Legend Aviation has been notified that a B17 and a B25 will be at our facility on May 8, 2010. Rides will be available to the public and Legend Aviation would like to invite the public to come out and enjoy the food (pancake breakfast will be offered by the EAA) and have fun. We hope to have some Static Warbirds on display, as well.

Additionally, for those of you that enjoy the “fast & furious” aircraft, we’ve been notified that four (4) F18’s are planning to be at the Prescott Airport over the Fourth of July weekend. Again, keep watching our Newsletter’s for additional information.

VARDIMAN'S VECTOR

Dear Airport Users,

I wanted to take a moment to provide you with an update on activities at the Prescott Municipal Airport .

A fresh coat of paint at the airport … I hope that you noticed the recent change in some of the pavement markings on the airport as we work to bring the markings up to standard.


The biggest change that you may have noticed has been the installation of a Dashed Taxiway Edge Marking along Taxiway Bravo and the North Ramp, Taxiway Foxtrot between Foxtrot 4 and Charlie, Taxiway Echo between Echo 4 and Charlie, Taxiway Foxtrot between Foxtrot 2 and 3, and Taxiway Charlie adjacent to the South Ramp. Other marking that has been going on includes repainting of the various runway hold short markings on the airport. We have focused on those markings which were in the worst condition and we will continue to work on getting the rest of the markings over the next couple of years. We appreciate your patience during the various closures of portions of the airfield while we complete this work. Funding for the equipment and materials was authorized by the City Council from the capital improvement fund for this Fiscal year. Please take time to express your appreciation to the members of the City Council for their support of the Airport.

Fire season draws closer … A quick reminder that fire season is drawing closer here in Arizona and with that comes some changes at the Prescott Municipal Airport. Taxiway Hotel is scheduled to be restricted to fire aircraft starting in the beginning of May.

Status of the State Aviation Fund …Attached you will find a letter from the Arizona Department of Transportation Director, Mr. John Halikowski, to the Aviation community regarding the most recent transfers from the State Aviation Fund to the State General Fund. Since July of 2008, the Legislature has diverted more than $40 million from the State Aviation Fund for use in the General Fund.

As you may or may not know, the State Aviation Fund was established in 1979 to provide funding for airport/aviation projects such as planning, design, and development, acquisition of land, construction, and improvement of publicly owned and operated airport facilities in counties and incorporated cities and towns in the State of Arizona . Projects such as pavement maintenance, hangar construction, and various other airport improvement projects are funded through the Stated Aviation Fund. State Aviation Fund Revenues are paid for solely by aviation users through the following sources:

Flight Property Tax;
Aircraft License (lieu) Tax;
Aviation Fuel Tax;
Grand Canyon Airport Revenue (to be used at the state owned Grand Canyon Airport );
Investment interest on the aviation fund balance and
Miscellaneous revenue sources such as lieu tax penalties and interest on tax collections.

I hope that this information is useful to you

Sincerely,
Benjamin Vardiman, ACE
Airport Manager
