News on Airport Watch Program

In cooperation with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Sherman Municipal Airport has instituted the Airport Watch Program. This program was launched as a result of the events of 9/11. While the small general aviation airplane has not proved to be a threat, it is nevertheless a good idea for pilots and the general public to be aware of what is going on at our local airport. Informational brochures were mailed to the pilots/tenants at the airport explaining the Airport Watch Program. These brochures also were made available to local law enforcement personnel. The Airport Watch Program solicits the help of pilots to watch for suspicious activity around the airport. If activity is spotted, but it does not appear to be of a critical nature, the pilot will call 1-866-GA-SECURE. If it does appear to be critical, the pilot is asked to call 911 first. This program also encourages pilots to provide security to their aircraft by locking them while unattended. To learn more about this program, call Jeff Miller at 903-892-7035 or Ross Richardson, the AOPA Airport Support Network representative, at 903-893-4221.
