Hi Ed,

I made a presentation about converting the Jetstream 41  fuselage into a 
flight simulator, outlined the educational opportunities this  offers the 
community and local organizations, and offered my assistance with the  
technical 
aspects.  The commission will consider this and another proposal  to use the 
fuselage for fire and rescue training at the next commission  meeting.  The 
commission asked that interested parties contact them in the  interim.  [For a 
copy of 
the presentation, email me at  sean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Here are some highlights of the rest of the  meeting.  Be forewarned, this is 
not complete, and perhaps not even  accurate, as these notes are from my 
memory.  

- ILS could take as  long as three to five years.

- Numerous complaints about aircraft noise  have been received from a nearby 
resident.  The commission discussed ways  to address this concern.

- Two medevac companies are planning to move to  Leesburg Airport.  
Representatives of both companies attended the  meeting.  Noise impct and 
effect on 
nearby tied-down aircraft were  discussed.  One of the proposed sites is also 
one 
of the proposed self-fuel  sites that was the least preferred self-fuel site.

- A vendor for the  display in the new terminal (as part of the Airport 
Gateway project) was  selected.  A small team of commissioners was formed to 
work 
with the  vendor.

- New terminal open house will be held in the beginning of May,  rain or 
shine.

Sean
