Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

Bob Eck and other controllers will discuss local procedures, surface safety issues, training and any other Air Traffic questions you might have. Did you know that one of the biggest fears of pilots is talking to ATC? After spending some time with the controllers you will find that using their services is much easier than you might think.

Dr. Jack Shannon, a local AME, will give you some pointers on how to keep that medical certificate in your pocket and answer your medical questions.

Minard Thompson, FAA Safety Team Program Manager will provide you with the opportunity to test your runway signage skills through the use of "clickers" to answer the questions nobody wants to raise the hand for.

Jennifer Skoglund will guide you around the airport talking about current construction projects and other issues.

Christine Gregory, from Chinook Approach Control, will give you hints on how to best use the services that TRACON can provide to you.

Donna Hanebut & Marjy Leggett will address the flying scholarships that are available to high school students who want to learn how to fly.

Dan Feekes, from the local EAA chapter will discuss membership benefits and the local Chapters presence in Walla Walla aviation.
