Thanked Ray for arranging the grant check presentation. It was well attended and nice things were said about the airport. B. Director Boudreaux: Report on Airport Activity. The Governor's representative and the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics presented the City with a $600,000.00 grant check for their part of the two new corporate hangars. A Change Order on the Striping Project was the result of correcting the amount of required beads in the paint. That will be approved by the City Council at their next meeting. Wilma's Restaurant will be leaving after the Holidays and we have two interested parties. The FAA and SkyVenture Aviation had a Wings Safety Seminar in the terminal. Don Harris visited here and worked out the schedule and funding to complete the North End Safety Area. The project must be designed, bid, and ready to award the bid by May 1 , 2008. It will take 4 million to complete the project. Chairman Nickle thanked Ray for arranging the trip to visit the FAA. C. Financial Coordinator Nicholson: Report on the Budget and FBO. Stated the operations were increasing and displayed the operations and fuel charts. Million Air sold over 50,000 gallons of fuel in October, and this last month was the first time we've seen fuel selling locally for $5.00. Director Boudreaux explained the numbers of operations are tied directly to the cost of operating the tower. Currently we are paying 3%; fewer operations would mean we would have to pay more. All the local GA airports are facing • a decline in operations so the FAA might adjust their formula. Two new VLJ (Very Light Jets) aircraft stopped in Fayetteville for fuel; they were being ferried to Florida. Director Boudreaux said Fayetteville would be a good service area to base six, it would • take abut forty-five minutes to an hour to pick up the customer. James displayed the Financial Report and said the department had done a fairly good job staying within the budget, although there were some unexpected costs. D. Senior Secretary Powers' report on T-Hangar Leases. All units are rented. The waiting list for the single engine hangars has nine names, and the twin has ten names. E. Engineer Wayne Jones' report on construction projects. The final inspection on the two corporate hangars took place yesterday. Runway incursions have become a big problem on airports and the FAA has issued new regulations for the design of signs and markings on runways and taxiways and that project is in the works. The FAA has laid out the steps to accomplish relocating the highway to the west at the north end of the runway; steps have been established to get to bidding the project in February or March 2009. McClelland Engineers does have the staff to work the project, having worked Right of Ways' for five different airports. The project may involve the acquisition of 11 .5 acres. The Obstruction Survey has been sent to the FAA, and we have not heard back from them. F. Director Boudreaux's report of maintenance activity. Mowing of grass has slowed down, . staff has been working on the cables on some of the hangars, particularly Wings. The lights are now all working on the outside of the building. They have worked on the self-serve fueling station. ITEM #4: Old Business. None. ITEM #5: New Business. • A. Discussion Item: Airport Restaurant potential client. Chairman Nickle announced that Wilma' s Restaurant said they were leaving after the holiday, and mentioned the possibility of re-configuring the restaurant space, tum part of it into office space. Director Boudreaux told of two interested parties, Los Reyes Mexican Restaurant and A Fare to Remember. B. Discussion Item: AATC Building proposal. Director Boudreaux reported that Elite Collision Repair, a company that does limited repairs and painting of aircraft has looked at locating here. If there were no planes in the shop, they could paint cars. The facility was previously a paint shop and could be converted back, and wanted to present it to the Board before pursuing it further. Chairman Nickle mentioned that NWACC has given Notice to Vacate the West Campus facilities. Director Boudreaux said he had invited their Dean to come visit the airport and he hasn't responded. Mr. Loewer asked that it be confirmed that NWACC would or would not be willing to relocate part of their school at Drake Field, and Ray said he would call Dave Bowman and the Dean. Mr. DeCoster said the closest aircraft paint shop is in Ozark, and the next is in Mena. C. Task Order with McClelland Engineers for North End Safety Area. Director Boudreaux asked for Board approval to submit the Task Order for planning tasks associated with the Runway 16 Safety Area Improvement Project with McClelland Engineers to the City Council for approval. A motion was made to submit the Task Order to the City Council for approval by • David Hollman and was seconded by Vaughn DeCoster. The motion carried. • D. Establishment of an Ordinance District. Tim Conklin, City Planning Director presented the possibility of creating a Historic Local Ordinance District for the Arkansas Air Museum. The hangar was built in the 1940' s using wood braces when metal was not available during the war. The hangar was designed by a City employee. Karen Minkle, City Long Range Planner related there are fourteen Cities in Arkansas that have local ordinance districts. The Museum would become eligible for thousands of dollars in grant money. Every addition to the building would be reviewed by a seven member committee, which would be appointed by the Mayor. The Museum would be able to apply yearly for restoration funding. There have been significant changes made to the hangar through the years. Museum tourism would benefit from the restoration projects to the Musem. Chairman Nickle asked staff to check with the FAA as to whether the FAA would need to be involved? Director Boudreaux said he would get a letter from the FAA to protect the relationship and asked the Board to approve forming the district, pending approval from the FAA. Warren Jones said the Museum didn't see a down side to forming the local ordinance district. The Museum will be applying to the Smithsonian as an affiliate and this will go a long way towards the Smithsonian's acceptance. There have been Mystery Tours conducted in Northwest Arkansas with stops at the hangar. Architects appreciate the uniqueness of the hangar, so anything the Board can do will help. A motion to pursue the Local Ordinance District, pending approval by the FAA, • was made by Otto Loewer and seconded by Janice Stanesic. The motion carried. ITEM #6: Other Business. A. Items from the Public. None. B. Items from the Airport Board. V. Decoster asked the Board to consider at the next meeting renaming the airport; dropping "Municipal" and replacing it with "Executive" to become Fayetteville Executive Airport. It was decided to cancel the December Airport Board Meeting as Director Boudreaux would be attending the Arkansas Aeronautics and AAOA meetings in Little Rock on the scheduled Airport Board Meeting date. Attention was called to the article from the Times about the first female pilot to receive her license at Drake Field on January 17, 1940: Maurice Ash McClelland. Director Boudreaux asked if anyone knows someone from the past that has an aviation related story about Drake Field, let's get it to the press before these stories are forgotten and lost.

ARKANSAS AVIATION 8 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FAYETTEVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT • DRAKE FIELD QUARTERLY REPORT FOURTH QUARTER CY2007 AVIATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS January 4, 2008 AVIATION: • Flight Operations in December were off by almost 50% putting an exclamation point on the year of high gas prices and low air traffic volume! Operations ended the year nearly 25% below 2006 representing a decrease of 11 ,240 takeoffs and landings during the year. That is almost a thousand a month that can be attributed to increased cost of fuel as most of the operations decrease can be attributed to the local and recreational flying. • Million Air Fayetteville exceeded one half million gallons sold for the second year in a row. They were still about 50K or 10% below 2006 reflecting the overall trend. • The AAOA Board of Directors voted to hold the 2008 Conference at the Embassy Suites in Rogers September 14-16, 2008. We are on the Board of Directors and thus on the Conference Committee. Since it is in the area, I hope that many of you are able to attend some or all of the sessions. We • are lining up sessions now so if you have a particular session that you would be interested in attending please let me know so that we can arrange for the presentation. • The NWACC Aviation Advisory Board met for the fust time in a year and discussed the enrollees from the j ob fair held the end of October. They expect to get at least 6 new students from the event. They have 20 full time students and 20 High School Students enrolled today. They know that they will not have a facility July 1 , 2008 but have not considered where they might end up. We offered the Hangar that they used to occupy on the airport but the decision is made by the NWACC administration. They have received our offer. • Two projects were initiated in the fourth quarter. The first was to repaint all airfield striping and to add new enhanced taxiway stripes leading to the runway hold lines. The FAA directed all Part 139 commercial service airports to install the new enhanced Taxiway Markings and asked that non- commercial airports install the new enhanced lines as well. We were in the midst of the new paint project so we changed the project to add the new enhancements. • The second project underway in the fourth quarter is the Runway Obstruction Survey. The project was awarded in the third quarter but did not get underway until the fourth quarter. All obstructions will be located and remedial action identified. We should have the report in January 2008. • On November 8, 2007, John Knight, Director of Arkansas Aeronautics; Jon Moran, Governor Beebe's Special Assistant for Agency and Legislative Affairs; Richard Mills and Jerry Chisum from the Arkansas Aeronautics, flew into the Airport and presented the Grant check for the Executive Hangar proj ect to Mayor Coody. We set up an event at the last minute as the Director of Aeronautics wanted to personally make the presentation. The Airport Board was present and we had a very nice crowd. Our photo was in the City Newsletter, "City Biz." • 1 4500 SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE, SUITE F • AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING • FAYETTEVILLE AR 72701 479.718.7642 • 479.718.7646 FAX • www.accessfayetteville.org/govemment/aviation airport_economic—development@ci.fayetteville.ar.us i • We finally closed out the Corporate Hangar Project. There are still a few items that are covered • under the warranty and will be fixed. The tenants are happy with the buildings and have filled them up. • We leased the Terminal Lobby space to C3 Incorporated, a marketing and advertising firm. Five full time employees will work out of the space with two part-time in and out. • The Runway and Taxiway Striping Project was completed this quarter. The project was fully funded through the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics. • The FBO Hangar Floor Restoration Project was completed this quarter. The new surface is guaranteed for five years. • We are working closely with a paint shop wishing to locate in the former AATC Hangar. We have referred them to the EPA representative in Springdale to insure that the applicable environmental requirements are well understood prior to entering into an agreement. The owner/operator has a print operation in the area and caters to high-end paint projects. He has done aircraft in the past and wants to insure that what we do in Fayetteville is the best it can be. He is hoping to have a decision in January. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: • A subcommittee of the Chamber of Commerce Transportation committee met several times to discuss the access to the Retail District from I-540. It remains a strong desire to make that access easier. Several suggestions have been run up the flagpole but none have received support. We attended a meeting with all the players and the decision was to go with the engineering recommendation. • • The Arkansas Economic Development Commission visited Fayetteville for two days hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Bill Ramsey and Steve Rust squired them around for briefings from several Chamber committees and the U of A. I met them for dinner and had a chance to visit with Maria Hailey and several friends on the commission and to talk about the needs of Fayetteville. • I was asked to serve on the Arkansas Air Museum Board of Directors and was approved by the Board. I was elected Vice President. Hugh Brewer was elected President. • We attended the ribbon cutting of the newly finished Van Ache which is a new route into the Mall area from Greg Street. We worked on the project early to coordinate the partnership with the Steel Crossing owners and developers for half the construction cost. The road opens up their land for development and provides the new access for the citizens. A win-win situation. It was great to see the project completed. • We met with property owners from around the airport to discuss the future and opportunities available. We will be working with several families in 2008 as we prepare for several projects to improve our airport infrastructure and available land for airport development. 4Respecy Submitted, udreaux, Director • 2 Tayeey1e • ARKANSAS Airport Progress Report TO: Fayetteville Municipal Airport Board THRU: Ray M.

Boudreaux JAN 0 2 2007 4500 S. School Ave., Suite F Fayetteville, AR 72701 AIRPORT Subject: VOR/DME-B Dear Mr. Boudreaux: This letter is in response to your comments received in reference to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) proposal to cancel the following Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP): Drake Field (FYV) Fayetteville, AR VOR/DME-B The number of IFPS available to the public has nearly doubled over the past decade and will continue to grow with public's demand for new WAAS procedures. The elimination of redundant IFPS is a critical step the FAA is taking towards managing the continuous growth in the number of IFPS within the National Airspace System (NAS). The cost of maintaining the • existing ground-based navigational infrastructure while expanding new area navigation capability is challenging to the FAA because maintenance of ground-based procedures places considerable strain on limited FAA resources. Life-span maintenance of an IFP includes but is not limited to amendments, issuance of Notice to Airmen, obstacle evaluations, reviews and inspections to ensure compliance with changing Flight Standards' criteria and required periodic flight inspections for both the facility and the IFP. Amendments to IFPS arise out of navigational aid facility relocations, airport infrastructure changes, construction of new obstacles, criteria changes, magnetic variation changes, or user/customer requests, etc. These changes/revisions can result in additional flight inspection requirements and charting costs. As we continue to identify possible candidates for cancellations, our focus is to minimize the impact to our customers. The cancellation of this IFP is necessary in order to expand the FAA's ability to support the new performance based NAS. Sincerely, omas C.

As reported by the Airport Legislative Alliance, the House and Senate earlier this week passed the omnibus appropriations bill to fund all government agencies in FY '08, including FAA. The President is expected to sign the legislation by the end of December. The FAA portion of the omnibus bill fully funds both the contract towers in the base program and those in the cost-share program - $103 million for the fully funded towers and $8.5 million for towers in the cost-sharing program, which were the funding levels requested by AAAE/USCTA. Additionally the conference agreement allows FAA to "use unsubscribed funds from the contract tower base line program to avoid elimination of communities from the cost-share tower program after baseline tower obligations are fulfilled." With this action, the funding levels for the contact tower program for FY '08 are set and will also allow FAA to add "new start" towers that will be ready for operations in FY '08. • These record funding levels for the contract tower program are significant, particularly considering the change in House and Senate leadership following last year's congressional elections. Thanks to each of for the work you did with your congressional delegations earlier this year. Your emails, letters and visits clearly were instrumental in us securing these record funding levels for the contact tower program . It would be helpful to thank your House member and Senators (and their staff) for their support of full funding for the program the next time you see them. Thanks for your time and let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Hope you and your families have a wonderful holiday season!

For example, at three months only $235 million would be available for entitlements and set-asides. This figure would fund apportionments and set-asides at just 10 cents on the dollar compared to a full year's worth of spending authority. • Six month's worth of funding at the annual rate included in the short term extensions would provide about $ 1 .757 billion in AIP funds. This level of funding would provide sub- optimal results for airports. ➢ The $ 148 million minimum discretionary available to the FAA would be about $99 million below the amounts needed to meet Letter of Intent (LOI) commitments. FAA would have to choose between fully funding some LOI commitments while leaving others unfulfilled or imposing a 40 percent across the board reduction in all LOI(s), with the balance due after later extensions. ➢ No discretionary funds would be available at the six-month mark for projects to comply with regulatory safety and security requirements under Part 139 and Part 1542. ➢ No discretionary funds would be initially available for completing improvements to Runway Safety Areas RSA(s). • The rules that increase various categories of apportionment funding whenever Al? is at least $3.2 billion would not be applied to the $ 1 .757 billion program. ➢ Minimum passenger entitlements would be reduced from the $ 1 million level applied in FY 2007 to less than $637,000, after reductions to meet the $ 148 million discretionary minimum. ➢ For larger airports, passenger entitlements would be reduced. ➢ Total passenger entitlements would be reduced from $858 million in FY 2007 to $420 million. ➢ Non-primary entitlements, which totaled $409 million in FY 2007, would not be apportioned at all. They would not become available to general aviation airports until AIP is extended through August. General aviation airports as a group are the most dependent on AIP funding, up to 48 percent of FY 2007 levels. ➢ $44 million in state apportionment funds will have to be held back, to assure that non-primary entitlements can be fully funded, once AIP is extended through August and the total AIP reaches $3 .2 billion. • The net effect is that some projects will not be funded at all, and many projects that are funded will be funded too late in the construction season to begin meaningful work.

ATLANTA — On October 3, with the state Lieutenant Governor, the local mayor, and Eclipse Aviation CEO Vern Rabum in attendance, DayJet Services officially launched its very light jet (VLJ) service in Tallahassee, one of four initial Florida destinations for the company's 'per-seat, on-demand' service using Eclipse 500s. The week before, founder Ed lacobucci was heavily promoting the upstart at the • annual National Business Aviation Association convention, during which this interview took place. For airports and airport-based businesses, two key questions about DayJet and other proposed start-ups that remain are, 1 ) When is it coming to our community? and 2) How does a service company make being a DayJet partner a profitable experience? lacobucci knows something about start-ups, having founded Citrix Systems, Inc. after a prior career with IBM. Prior to the launch, DayJet had become the media darling, bringing an array of exposure. "We've had the major networks chasing us on this concept," he relates. "I saw a report the other day that we reached 20 million households in one day. "Frankly, from a business standpoint, getting a lot of calls from Minneapolis and Lincoln, NE about when are you going to be here is not really productive. Even when we go beyond Florida, we're still not going to go to Chicago. We're going to do adjacent markets. We know where they are. I don't care if we're not visible in markets that we're not in; that's irrelevant." Headquartered in Boca Raton, DayJet Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, DayJet Services, LLC, is holder of the Part 135 air carrier certificate from FAA. The company launched its on-demand service with a dozen VLJs, and anticipates having 30 Eclipse 500s in service by year's end. It has a five-year order for more than 1 ,000 units. Initial waypoints include Boca Raton, Gainesville, Lakeland, Pensacola, and Tallahassee. The company plans to expand service within two years to "dozens" of additional DayPort locations across the Southeast. • Explains lacobucci, "Our model is very simple. It's based on the one thing that people have told us is worth something to them — time. We don't place any value on accoutrements, on sitting in the front or back of the airplane. The only thing that matters is how much of my time am I saving? "The way we express it is, leave no earlier than, arrive no later than If you tell me, 'I'm willing to leave no http://Iicense.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?f iid=NjE2NzI0 12/5/2007 Airport Business: Enter the VLJ: Dayjet Launches Page 2 of 3 earlier than nine in the morning but I have to arrive no later than 10:30 for a one-hour trip,' that's going to • be pretty close to $4 a mile. If you say, 'I'm willing to leave as early as six in the morning and I'm willing to be there as late as 1 p.m .,' then it's more like $1 a mile." So, he says, Boca to Gainesville — about 245 miles — might be $1 ,000 if the timeframe is tight; if it's loose, it might be closer to $250. A key component of going to market is DayJet's Advanced System Technology for Real-Time Operations (called ASTRO) programming, which automates and manages every aspect of the operations. Becoming a dayport With limited operations through September, lacobucci said DayJet had to date used some 35,000 gallons of jet-A. The answer is in response to the question, "What does a fixed base operator get from being a DayPort?" "Fuel is an important piece," says lacobucci. "We're still exploring this and trying to figure out what is attractive. We are good business partners. I don't know what the right equation is. At some locations we're renting space and buying fuel; at others we have a day base operation; we have hangars and more people. "I'm not exactly sure there's a magic formula that fits all yet. We are committed to making it work and making our partners successful. "We're not expecting the FBO to do everything. We recognized from the beginning that we're going to have to put our own skin in the game. The rental car goes to the FBO. Our focus is on building service and reliability. We're not trying to do a broad expansion into all the related services; we want to partner • for those. "We look at the market potential and then identify all the potentials within that. There's a community level; then there's an airport/FBO level." It's about connecting communities, says lacobucci, and he expects a potential destination to do some of the homework — identifying need and commitment. "From a community standpoint, introduce us to your Chamber of Commerce. Let us talk to your business leaders. Help us develop the benefit for you. "We're not interested in fighting our way into a community. If a community doesn't want us we won't go there. The economic benefit is very high and the noise profile of the aircraft is very low." Even if that commitment is strong and well-documented, he cautions about building new facilities in the short term. "Right now it's probably not realistic" for a city to be constructing a VLJ-dedicated terminal, as some have suggested, he says. "I don't know that any of us can tell you what the volume is going to be. I can tell what the model is, but you don't want to make a capital investment on the model." North American Jet One Step Ahead WHEELING, IL — Ken Ross, president of North American Jet, smiles as he relates that his company was the first charter firm to be certificated for on-demand Part 135 using VLJs. He's also quite enthusiastic about the potential for expanding the service — but it's not a DayJet model. • North American Jet, based at the Chicago Executive Airport, entered its own very light jet era on August 18, putting its first Eclipse 500TM into on-demand service. The company specializes in charter and http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=NjE2NzI0 12/5/2007
