Brief Description:
**PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION IN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT PRIOR TO REGISTERING!**
The 514th Air Mobility Wing Safety Team sponsors this event in order to promote safe flying in Alert Area A-220. The objectives are to:
- Inform general aviation pilots about the hazards associated with operating in busy military airspace,
- Provide strategies for flying safely in and around the McGuire AFB Alert Area, and
- Encourage communication between general aviation pilots and their military counterparts.
The program includes presentations on the types of military aircraft and operations a GA pilot might encounter when flying in the Alert Area, information on flight physiology, a tour of the McGuire Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) facility and control tower, and a static tour of aircraft on the flight line, including a C-17 Globemaster III and a KC-10A Extender. This special event gives pilots the unique opportunity to land at McGuire Field.
