I was in town visiting relatives and got stuck in by some weather. Spent some time walking around speaking with other pilots in the hangers. Everyone was cordial and the medevac guys let me get up close and personal with the helicopters. SUPER COOL! The airport manager Michael really cares about the airport and all the pilots there. He even came out to the ramp to warn me about some weather that had turned since my brief. Thanks Michael for caring!
