Local Schoolchildren Tour Airport

pikecountyairport — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:06:59 +0000

The Pike County Gifted and Talented students, grades 3 thru 5, stopped by the airport yesterday. They are beginning their aviation section of study which covers history, logistics, and the science of flight. The staff and participants were amazed by their indepth questions even though this outing is the start of their aviation learning. A great bunch of future pilots perhaps?

We have nothing exciting to report but just wanted to let you know we are still here Monday thru Friday and still selling reasonably priced fuel everyday 24/7. If you’re flying by the area, land and get something cold to drink and say HOWDY!!!

GYPSY MOTHS….BEWARE!!!!

pikecountyairport — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:29:14 +0000

This week we are hosting the gypsy moth spraying project with the US Dept of Forestry and the Pontiac Spraying Service. The bright yellow air tractors spread a flake product which lands on the tree vegetation and when the male gypsy moth eats this product, it “confuses” their mating process. The flake product is not harmful to other plants, pets or humans. The gypsy moth eats vegetation and eventually the defoliation of trees. This spraying project has proven successful in the past 10 years in reducing the population of gypsy moths.

FLYING PUPPIES!!!!

pikecountyairport — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:18:16 +0000

We had a fun day today when 9 lab puppies landed. They were being transported from Tennessee to Medina OH by Pilots N Paws. This wonderful network of pilots transport rescue animals – dogs, cats and just about anything else that will fit in their plane. If you love to fly and love animals, I’m sure they would love to have you in their database of volunteers …… check out their website www.pilotsnpaws.org
