President’s Message
Temperatures are beginning to rise as we dive deep into the summer months. Things at PCAM move along normally as we trundle through our 35th year of operation. I want to emphasize safety to all of our members. Back in the days of the air show, we were always known for our safety record, the safest one in the land, one that set the benchmark for other shows to follow. Year after year, we received many compliments on how we ran our operations and our attention to detail. We’ve had a few oopsy daisies in the past couple of months. Whether it is man vs. machine or face vs. concrete, there is no doubt we have some hard-headed volunteers. Maybe the metal is beginning to seep into the skin. Nevertheless, please be mindful of your surroundings and don’t try to work out here alone. Many hands make light work.
I want to thank those volunteers who have made it their mission to make sure we are all up to snuff and ready for any situation. We set the bar pretty high during the air show days, but now I think we can launch that bar into the stratosphere. As always, Keep Calm and Work On!
