It was heavily damaged by an ice storm last winter but a small, dedicated team has refurbished it and remounted it. Thanks go to Doug Dringoli who fabricated a new--and much heavier duty--mount. Joe Bogaki and Mark Scott did the lion's share of patching metal, scraping paint and repainting first with day-glo orange and then a clear top coat. Randy Seeber and Rick Beebe chipped in as well. The team that got it remounted in position was Doug, Mark, Rick, Hank Wimbrow and our new assistant airport manager, Dean Shields.
