And Finally........

Please keep in mind that your safety is our primary concern. Remember the following important safety tips:

Uniformed security personnel are there to help. Follow all instructions from uniformed security personnel.
Very few things on our flight line are soft to the touch; most things are made of metal and have lots of edges on them. Keep your eyes focused in the direction you’re walking and be aware of low-hanging (and flying!) aircraft components.
Medical personnel are on call to render assistance to anyone that requires it. Notify any uniformed security person or air show worker if you or any member of your group requires medical attention.
Call 433-3103 for emergency assistance, if needed.
