I say not much going on, but really, there is!

Busy, busy at the Siler City Airport....not me, but lots of other folks.

It's beee-uuu-tiful hay-baling weather. Hot, hot, hot and dry.


The expanded ramp area is finally finished grade and ready for pavement next week.



And we've got a work crew out sealing cracks in the ramp and runway. This is a NCDOT project, but I end up having to coordinate the work with the runway closures. This is difficult when someone needs to land but can't due to the workers on the runway!



Here's what they're doing - this is a crack in the middle of the runway. It's been sealed before - a few years ago. But, freeze/thaw cycles open it back up and will eventually "crumble" the runway if not addressed.


Here's the finished seal - good for another few years!

Hey K,

Do you have them move off the runway for a landing? They seal the roads up here like that too and it makes a sticky mess - the first year we were here we saved a mama kildeer and her five babies and a snake and another bird or two that got trapped in the tar...

love,

T
