Midwest Flyer Magazine

LETTERSDear Dave:Thank you for the donation ofmagazines to the annual WisconsinLight Aviation Safety Seminar. Theywere very popular and disappearedquickly!On behalf of the Wisconsin LightAviation Advisory Council, thankyou for the generous donation. It isappreciated!Lee Taylor, Board MemberWisconsin Light AviationAdvisory CouncilWhitewater, WisconsinMr Weiman:I saw a mention of your magazineon the Cessna 195 website thismorning. I was not aware of yourpublication, so I checked it out andenjoyed it very much, especially seeingthe picture of Kalvin Arder!s C196,along with a couple of C195s. (First-Timers From The Midwest Fly To Sun 'nFun, June/July 2012).The thought crossed my mindthat you may be interested in runninga press release on our airport here incentral Alabama (08A) that is facingclosure, or at the very least, beingmoved. A few local politicians andbureaucrats have targeted it as a goodspot to place an industrial park...nonews there.In defense of the airport, we formeda support group called "Elmore CountyAviation Alliance# (ECAA) with thegoal of stopping this move. We haveproduced an interesting documentaryvideo that runs 13 minutes andcontains interviews of some 21 peoplewho love the airport. I would appreciateyour taking a look at our website fromwhich you can go to the video andperhaps then, run a news release inyour magazine and on your website,to generate more viewers of our video.While we certainly are not located neareach other, all publicity is good, andthis threat we face is common thesedays.Our website is at: http://ecaa08a.org/index.htmlThanks very much for anyconsideration.Dave RamseySecretary/TreasurerElmore County Aviation AllianceWetumpka Municipal AirportWetumpka, AlabamaHi Dave!Another family member was justdeployed and she will fly in combat.
