What's New at Richard B Russell Regional Airport Coosa Valley Technical College Aviation Facility
Runway Paint Project Completed Russel Regional Airport has recently completed the repainting of the lines on the runway to improve visibility for aircraft landing at the air field. The $80,000 project was completed by Hi-Lite Markings, Inc. in 7 days. A complete refurbishment of all the proper markings required by the FAA for an ILS (Instrument Landing System), runway and its taxiways, are visible for day and night use. As required by the FAA, glass beads have been added for excellent reflective exposure at night.
Fun and Informative Field Trips The Civil Air Patrol and the TigerFlight Foundation host field trips for local elementary, middle and high schools. These field trips are designed to educate students about aviation. Working by modules, the students learn about the administrative side of running a Fixed Base Operater (FBO) by touring the terminal building and learning about the operations of an airport. The FBO is the business on the airport that services the planes and the customer. They are in charge of fuel sales, fuel tanks, trucks, hangar rental, etc. Some airports have several FBO’s depending on how busy they are. Students then gather in the Civil Air Patrol briefing room where they are taught the anatomy of a plane, basic avionics and what makes a good pilot. In the final module, the students tour a World War II hangar and sit in an airplane allowing them to have a hands-on experience while seeing first hand the anatomy of a plane. Finally, students sit under the wing of a DC-3 plane to eat lunch while learning about its significance in World War II.
