Review Airport Operations at This Month's Summer Safety Briefing! The Aurora State Airport is a busy place, and this summer is no different than any other year. In addition to near-constant flight training operations, everything from small personal aircraft to helicopters and large corporate jets can be seen arriving and departing at all hours of the day. At this month's Summer Safety Briefing, Aurora State Tower Chief Raul Suarez will drop by to discuss Airport Operations, with a specific focus on lessons learned over the past 12 months by the Local Runway Safety Action Team (LRSAT). Runway incursions are always a high-priority safety topic, and we'll hear from the team on what we can do as pilots to keep these to an absolute minimum. We also expect to get tips on how pilots should interact with the tower for effective communication, and we'll be sure to take your questions as well. Don't miss this one!

Short Finals… · We're delighted to welcome Kevin Deccio to our flight instruction team at Willamette Aviation. Kevin was born and raised in Walla Walla, Washington, where he first discovered his love of aviation at a young age while flying with his uncle. It was several years after graduating high school that he decided to pursue a career in aviation. After acquiring his private pilot certificate in Spokane, he attended the University of North Dakota and graduated with a degree in commercial aviation. Kevin spent the next four years instructing in Walla Walla. As a kid, he often flew to the Oregon coast and Portland area with his uncle and family — which shaped his decision to continue flight instructing in the Pacific Northwest.
