Sedwick Airport - More Spots and a Building

[ALT2870]

Thanks guys, glad to see you are enjoying this.

It has been two years since the airport opened, lets see where things have gone.

Things sure have changed since we last saw this place. From this overhead shot, it's hard to tell so lets get closer.



The small strip has become quite popular among local pilots. Initially it was only open to club pilots, but then the club figured it could make more money if they opened some spots to the public as well. The result was the addition of several more parking spots. Parking spots around the building are for club members (which has grown massively) and the further spots for public.



Then just after the one year anniversary, the club announced they would be adding a "clubhouse" as well. The construction just wrapped up and here is the finished product.



This shot shows the east half of the building. Here are the offices for the higher ups in the club. All meetings and more occur here as well. You can also see the asphalt around the building so club members can park their vehicles.



The other side of the building has the main area where pilots can relax. Of course bathrooms are a necessity too and a small quite room exist as well. The empty room is being saved for future purposes.



As the small strip becomes more popular and the club keeps growing both with members and money, there have been talks about paving the airport. The infrastructure is the clubs biggest expense and paving everything would probably save money.



Next time we will see if the club can gather funds to further enhance the airport.
