Hello supporters of Ocean Ridge Airport,

I want to personally thank you for making our fundraising effort a success. While we didn’t reach our target, we did make a lot of progress.

And as luck would have it, we were able secure a slurry contract for a much lower price than we had planned on. We had planned for the worst case scenario of having to pay for full mobilization of a contractor–and in Gualala that would have been staggering. But we were able to piggy back with a contractor doing work nearby so we didn’t have to pay for the whole mobilization. We saved ourselves a bundle!

The FAA is about to begin the next step in its search for an unleaded general aviation fuel through the Piston Aviation Fuels Initiative (PAFI). The FAA announced today it has received nine replacement fuel proposals from producers Afton Chemical Company, Avgas LLC, Shell, Swift Fuels and a consortium of BP, TOTAL and Hjelmco, for further evaluation in the PAFI, an industry-government initiative designed to help the general aviation industry transition to an unleaded aviation gasoline. The FAA will now assess the viability of the candidate fuels to determine which fuels may be part of the first phase of laboratory testing at the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center. The goal is for government and industry to work together to have a new unleaded fuel by 2018.
