Pilot Get-Together at BISBEE-DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL Airport at the Terminal Building (NEW!!) Pilot Lounge

Drive-in or Fly-In (but flying is more fun)

FREE   Coffee and pastries provided

WHY?

Do YOU feel the need to fly somewhere – but where?

OR would you like to meet a few pilots for conversation?

It would be great if you can be there!  Feel free to invite others.

The idea is just to meet other local pilots and swap information and stories and keep it VERY informal – NOT a meeting.

But if someone suggests flying somewhere just for fun, a few of us might decide to go as well.

Dan Coxworth (Cochise County Development Services Director) and Russ Stuart (Airport Custodian)  have authorized me to unlock the NEW Pilot Lounge on this weekend.  It's available when Russ is at the airport which is during the normal work week but NOT usually on weekends.

Self-Service AVGAS is available and the pump is working as well as the cardlock for fuel (currently $6.85/gallon).

Cochise County has renovated the old 1950's Air Terminal and has made a very nice Pilot Lounge - if you haven't seen it yet, you'll be surprised!

Also they have cleaned up the grounds around the Terminal and built a new Airport sign at Highway 191 entrance.  Their intention is to promote General Aviation traffic.

If you have never landed at BISBEE-DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL (KDUG), here’s some basic info:

 Located at about 8 miles NW of the city Douglas.

Runway 17/35 paved; 6,430 ft long x 100 ft wide  (the most-often used runway)

* My short (1300 ft) dirt runways are 4 miles north of the Terminal Bldg - I challenge you to find them!
