PARKING:
The airport has denied us authorization to park inside the gate. Please see the attached picture for places where you can park. If you need to park in the regular free airport parking section, do so.

HANGAR ACCESS:
We have very limited and restricted access to the hangar. Basically, we are requesting to have it open about an hour before Power On until an hour or two after take off. We will also request to have it one hour prior to landing until 1 hour after landing. DO NOT leave anything in there that you might need right away, if they don’t see anyone of our group, they will lock the doors and leave.
The only door that they are letting us use is the one indicated by the orange circle in the attached image.
