Security System Upgrade.

What system, I don't know. Perhaps Airport Security per 14CFR 107.13.

KDAG does not have scheduled commercial service. The 'terminal' building is a temporary trailer but it looks to have been there for many years. It appears the Army is the primary (only) tenet of this public use airport.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

The Army's presence explains why the yellow sign would be posted at this desolate, almost deserted, airport.

Promises, promises. I figure I'm on my 12th life by now.

I don't know, but they misspelled "Daggett", so why do you think they got "SSU" right?

You mean Homeland Security raised the field elevation? Dang, they have some power!

Curiosity got the best of me, so I called the fbo who referred me to source. Bob w/ the FAA tells me it stands for the FAA's Sector Support Unit. They maintain the navaids, runway lights etc.

Am I the only one who noticed that they spelled Daggett two different ways?

No. But we ALL noticed you didn't read the whole thread.

So maybe the FAA is sponsoring a Daggett chapter of the SDU?

Ah... thanks. Gotta love "telephone Googling". Works great.

Obliquely referring to Ron's comment, that's what they want you to think. Afterall, sector sounds a lot like SPECTRE.

Heh... Well, I read the whole thread after I'd already disconnected from the grid. I wrote my post, and when I reconnected, it posted... And showed me Grant's now-previous post.
