While we had hoped to be installing the vapor barrier, insulation and tubing for the floor in the APM Restoration Center this weekend, a combination of events have postponed that work for a few days.
However, we will have news of an important donation to the Restoration Center project that will help us move ahead with this project in a few days, so stay tuned. Further, as of 07-16-11 our "Buy-a-Foot" campaign, to finance construction of the Restoration Center, has topped $52,000.00. That leaves only 760 sq ft available in the "Buy-a-Foot" campaign so please consider joining with all those whom have helped move this project forward and get your foot or feet today.

Along with the Restoration Center project we are deep into preparations for the upcoming AAA/APM Invitational Fly-in just a little over six weeks away! APM director Steve Adkisson and Ben Taylor continue working on the APM's Monoprep in hopes of having it flyable by the fly-in. With a donation of some needed Velie engine parts by Wayne Muxlow of Minneapolis it's looking more and more as if that will happen.
Field preparations are also underway with several projects ongoing. Those include an expansion and slight re-model of the Pilot's Pub via volunteers Ken Marth and Luke Pieper, repainting of the signs on the hangars by Annie Price and other projects.
