The airport has five "Density Altitude" signs strategically placed around the airfield to remind pilots that on warm summer days, their aircraft's performance can be greatly reduced by high density altitudes. This means the aircraft's climb rates, ground speeds, control performance and weight carrying capabilities will all be reduced. Click post heading for pics & story.
