Did anyone here attend the talk by the MD of Global Trek to the UAS last month? I missed it but it would be interesting to hear how much support they receive from BIA and Stormont; apparently they have to solicit and tender for each individual USAF Wing's business, which must be a tedious and expensive process.
Missed it too, but real credit to these folks. I'm guessing the profits justify the effort, and it's one of those things where building the relationship hopefully reaps real long term rewards. I think we had 7 C-130s at BFS the other day at one point...and it's good to see C-17s as well. Hopefully it's business that's here to stay now. And the same goes for the bizjets...both our local airports seem to be getting lots of such traffic these days.
