Landmark Aviation acquires former Skybus hangar

Landmark Aviation acquires former Skybus hangar

Landmark Aviation is spreading their wings in an effort to expand and enhance its general aviation
service capabilities at Port Columbus. In March they acquired the hangar formerly used by
Skybus, adding 63,000 square feet of hangar space, 79,000 square feet of potential office space
and convenient access to maintenance garages.

“The additional space enables Landmark to stay true to our mission to unite exceptional customer
service and uncompromising safety standards at our Port Columbus facility,” said General
Manager Irene Batty. “Landmark can more efficiently serve existing customers while providing
room for growth. We’re bringing in additional aircraft and tenants as well as more staff to support
the increased activity. The extra space is already proving to be a timely investment for us.”

Landmark Aviation-CMH, which operates 7 days, 24-hours, established their FBO service in 1998
as Million Air in what was once the World War II-era Northrop Grumman manufacturing facility.
Eventually they transitioned briefly to the Odyssey name until 2011 when branded Landmark
Aviation, which is a global organization. Their CMH FBO unit is one of a broad network of
Landmark FBOs totaling 40 American, 3 Canadian and 13 European locations.

Capital City Jet Center Lands Two FltPlan.com Pilot
Choice Awards
Congratulations to Capital City Jet Center, Bolton Field’s FBO
since October 2006, for receiving two FltPlan.com 2014 Pilots
Choice Awards. Capital City Jet Center scored higher than
ever this year with pilots voting them 4th Top Regional U.S.
FBO in the East Central U.S. and the 5th best Ace FBO, which
recognizes those FBOs who received the most votes at
airports with fewer than 4,000 arrivals per year.

“Capital City Jet Center is honored to be among our
customers’ favorite FBOs,” said Brenda Clemens Customer
Service Manager. “We try our best to anticipate pilots’ needs
and have everything ready and waiting when they arrive. Plus,
Bolton Field Airport provides easy access to interstates and

the entire Columbus region.”

The Airport Authority appreciates the service Capital City Jet
Center provides Bolton’s vital customers, and we applaud
them for receiving this national recognition.

MU-2 aircraft converge on Bolton Field for PROP 2014
Capital City Jet Center recently hosted more than 30 MU-2
aircraft owners who flew to Bolton Field for the 2014 Pilot’s
Review of Proficiency, an annual safety seminar designed to
enhance MU-2 pilot awareness, to sharpen decision-making
skills and to provide tips and techniques to assist in more
efficient and safe operation of the aircraft.

Last hosted in Columbus in 2012, the gathering also serves as a mutually beneficial forum for
pilots and primary sponsors Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc. (creator of the MU-2),
SimCom and Honeywell. Because of the phenomenal success of PROP 2014, Mitsubishi plans to
return to Bolton Field for PROP 2016, inviting Capital City Jet Center to once again serve as
seminar host.

The Mitsubishi Utility-design 2 (MU-2) models went out of production in 1986; however, current
innovative operators have found numerous applications for this high performance aircraft, such as
air ambulance operations, air cargo and corporate aircraft. For more information about the MU-2
aircraft and related training opportunities, visit MU-2Aircraft.com.

Port Columbus developments diversify revenue sources
Revenue diversification, a strategic priority pursued by the Airport Authority, gains altitude at Port
Columbus with several active projects and recent announcements. Besides diversifying airport
revenues which helps keep operating costs reasonable, these projects will help expand Port
Columbus’ economic impact on the region, which equates to 33,464 jobs, $1.1 billion annual
payroll and $3.7 billion total output.

    z   A $12.6 million Airport Authority-owned Fairfield Inn & Suites opens Aug. 1 adjacent to
        the terminal. Investment assumptions indicate that the hotel will generate revenue of at
        least $1 million annually after expenses. Separately, the Authority has partnered with RBX
        Media LLC to install a 30.5-foot high digital advertising wall on the hotel that will result in
        additional non-airline revenue for Port Columbus.
    z   Flight Safety International announced it will position a new Learning Center on 8.7 acres
        of CMH property near Berkshire Hathaway sister company NetJets. The international flight
        training firm will add 15 simulators in the new facility.

z   Columbus developer Daimler Group Inc. partnered with the Airport Authority to create the
        AirSide Business Park with four buildings on CMH’s north airfield. Daimler’s $20 million
        investment will include two call centers, a flex office/warehouse and light industrial building.
        Columbus-based Homage announced it will occupy 30,000 square feet of one of the
        100,000-square-foot structures.

Jerrie Mock Anniversary Focus of GA Business Partner
Event

Many Port Columbus GA partners helped us commemorate the 50th anniversary of Jerrie Mock’s
round-the-world trip in a Cessna 180, “The Spirit of Columbus.” The 38-year-old pilot took off from
Port Columbus March 19, 1964, returning 29 days, 21 stops and over 23,000 miles later. The feat
landed her a revered place in aviation history as the first woman to circumnavigate the world
alone. The life-size statue of Mock unveiled at the April 17 celebration is now a part of the airport’s
Legacy of Leadership historic exhibit.

After the ceremony Dorothy Cochrane, Curator of the Smithsonian’s General Aviation Aircraft and
Flight Material, provided GA partners exclusive insight into the museum’s unique holdings in their
Jerrie Mock exhibit, which includes Jerrie’s beloved Cessna 180, Three-eight Charlie, aka “The
Spirit of Columbus.” The general aviation aircraft is displayed with many others at the Smithsonian
National Air and Space Museum’s companion facility Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly,
Virginia.

Airport Improvement Projects
Rickenbacker confirms plans for new air traffic control
tower
Construction is expected to begin this fall on a new state-of-
the-art air traffic control tower that will replace Rickenbacker’s
existing WWII-era tower. The investment is a timely one
considering increased cargo and passenger activity at
Rickenbacker, which continues to grow as a world-class
logistics hub for the 21st century.

The new, modern control tower will have separate meeting
and training offices, more space for controller utilization, and
new communication radios and equipment. The current tower
will remain operational until completion of the new structure,
which is anticipated in December 2015.

New CMH Taxiway D emerging from old RWY 10R/28L
The airfield has been in constant motion since early April when

work resumed on the conversion project. Most work on the south edge of the terminal ramp from
Taxiway D-3 to Taxiway D-1 is complete and surface course pavement finished on Taxiways C-4,
C-5 and C-6. In late June – if weather cooperates – all taxiways are expected to open.

    Pilots are giving the new LED lights rave reviews. Besides being a bright beacon on the new CMH runway and taxiway, the
                                                  energy-efficient LEDs should help reduce airfield power consumption by 60%.

The next phase converting the former runway into a taxiway will involve restrictions when work
moves to the far east end of the south airfield. Subsequently, progress moves to the far west end
to finish removing excess portions of the old runway followed by installation of the final pavement.
The final conversion phase involves resurfacing the full length of Taxiway D, with all work
scheduled for completion by the end of October.

CMH Trench Drain Repairs Continue
The fourth of a 5-phase, 5-year trench drain project
progresses. The new system has a different grate style that
will support the heavy commercial aircraft and deicing at CMH
gates.

CMH solar panels to offset energy demand
If you’ve seen and been curious about the new solar panels
atop Concourse A, they were installed as a green,
supplemental power source that will generate enough
electricity to offset the power used by Port Columbus
passengers to charge their electronics. Smarter connections
and better business are at the heart of this sustainable energy
investment, which is possible thanks to a unique partnership
between the Airport Authority and CMH concessionaires. The
airport decreases energy demand and controls energy cost,
millions of passengers continue receiving complimentary
access to airport electricity, and airport concessionaires gain
another platform to promote their products and services.

Dates to Note
July 8 – CMH’s 85th birthday
On July 8, 1929 Port Columbus opened as a stop on the first
transcontinental air/rail service from New York to the West
coast. Passengers arrived by train at the Columbus railroad
station across from the original Fifth Avenue, Port Columbus
terminal where two Ford Tri-Motor aircraft awaited the
inaugural flight to Oklahoma, the next stop in the
transcontinental trip operated by Transcontinental Air
Transport. Average price for a one-way ticket: $351.94. Read more about CMH and TZR history at

September 9 – CMH Full-scale Emergency Exercise
Port Columbus is in the process of planning its 2014, Part-139 emergency exercise required every
three years by the FAA. For the first time we’ll be testing ourselves and partnering first responders
with an evening exercise designed to commence at 7:30 p.m. If or when this operation affects our
GA partners, we’ll keep everyone informed.
