YOUR DEPARTURE CHECKLIST ...
You've
got a lot on your mind as AirVenture approaches, and we'd like
to remind you of a few things. Most importantly, be sure you're
up-to-date on any temporary
flight restrictions or NOTAMs along your route, and be aware
of the changing parking
status on the field at Wittman Regional Airport. And don't
forget to pack your membership card and pre-purchased
tickets!
