DuPage Airport

And that's the state's job, you would think, to go out and find that second or third supplier.

Now, they don't use salt on airplane, like runways and airport runways.

I believe they use something of a high nitrogen fertilizer concentrate that doesn't, crack or isn't problematic to concrete now if you work in an airport or you know a buddy of mine worked out at dupage airport for a long long time and he used to tell me about what they used out there and how it was safe for your concrete and stuff like that because you can't go through any neighborhood in in any town usa where you have any sort of winter and not see what some lunatic put down on his driveway and it just cracked the entire thing spalding and all that

yeah

But maybe this year what we do is we get a hold of sales and maybe Greg down there in sales, Greg Skunkle, and we work with Western Plows and we all get salt shakers on the back of our truck and we do our part.

The student pilot originally departed Atlanta Regional Airport, Falcon Field in Atlanta, Georgia earlier in the day, and flew 158 nautical miles to Cross Memorial Airport in Crossville, Tennessee, where he landed about 5:29 PM, and was on the ground for about forty-five minutes.

He fueled the plane before departing on the second leg of a long VFR cross-country to DuPage Airport near Chicago, a distance of 386 nautical miles.

The pilot departed shortly after the end of civil twilight on a night where there was no lunar illumination, so he was in dark night conditions where you would need to fly by reference to instruments as you wouldn't be able to see a horizon.

Continuing with the report, the pilot had not filed a flight plan, and there was no evidence that he obtained an official weather briefing from a source that would have logged that contact.

And I got in one of these itty bitty planes, man.

I mean, uncomfortably small, you know, and went up at the DuPage County Airport and around.

And I discovered with that cadet and with a professional captain that really you can fly through some rough elements.

It is actually possible.

I mean, the only question here I'm thinking is what's that airport code going to be? Dolly Parton Airport would, I assume, be the name there.

So that DPA, but that already exists with DuPage Airport in West Chicago, Illinois.

So they work with them and force a change or something.

I don't know how that works, but Dolly in Nashville, maybe DNA.
