<br />FL/OHTCIAFT <br />~ <br /> <br />a PAPE GROUP company <br /> <br />January 6, 2006 <br /> <br />Oregon Transportation Commission <br />Oregon Department of Transportation <br />355 Capitol Street N.E. <br />Salem, OR 97301-3871 <br /> <br />Dear Commission Members, <br /> <br />This letter is intended to provide support for the Eugene Airport's application to the <br />Oregon Transportation Commission to seaJre a Connect Oregon Grant to improve air <br />cargolfreight facilities at the Eugene Airport. Flightcraft has operated the full service <br />FBO at the Eugene Airport for a number of years and we are interested in creating <br />options for future growth and expansion of our operations. <br /> <br />We have been working with the airport staff and recently have been provided copies of <br />the draft concepts for these improvements. We will work with the airport further when <br />refinement of these plans becomes available. <br /> <br />Our company is focused on providing the Lane County region with aircraft support <br />services that result in the efficient movement of goods. We clearly understand the <br />importance of good inter-modal transportation systems and the need for appropriate <br />infrastructure and facilities at our airports. <br /> <br />The Eugene Airport is a great asset to us as it provides convenient access to the air <br />transportation system and has connectivity. The airport also has great attributes with a <br />CAT III ILS, unobstructed approaches, an Air Traffic Control Tower, and a well lit ramp. <br /> <br />Improvements to the taxiways and ramp, and the construction of a distribution facility <br />would add significant value to the system. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of the Airport's proposal. <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />J <br />1 <br />j <br /> <br />j7;1~ <br /> <br />Derek Burge Y <br />Location Manager <br />Flightcraft Eugene <br />dburae@fliahtcraft.com <br /> <br />J <br />J <br /> <br />Flightcraft, Inc. <br />90454 Boeing Dr. <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />541.688.9291 · FAX 541.688.5749 <br /> <br />Portland OR <br /> <br />j <br /> <br />Eugene OR <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />Complete Aircraft Sales, Parts, <br />Service and Charter Since 1948. <br /> <br />PAPE <br /> <br />- <br />GROUP <br />
