 This trustee August is hotter than ever at Appalachian Wireless as they are slashing all normal contract pricing on all smartphones by 50% when you sign up for service. Better service, bigger saving. Serving you for the last 25 years at Appalachian Wireless. Aviation in this region is still a slow growing hobby. We've only had the luxury of airports in this region for a short while. The Big Sandy Regional Airport hosted its 15th annual Airport Day to promote the hobby and offer those who may have never flown an opportunity to do so. The first airport day I had here 15 years ago there was a lady in her probably upper 70s was here real early and she said I want to sign up for one of those airplane rides and I said okay and she looked at me a serious committee and she said all my life I wondered what this world looks like from up there and today I'm gonna find out and she she hugged my neck when she got out of the airplane and and she was just ecstatic how beautiful things look. As a result of these airports that have been built on reclaimed surface mines many have not only found themselves a new hobby but a career as well. This is my third year coming to the airport days and I've been to the helicopter flying that they have. My dad's an air traffic controller and when I decided that's what I wanted to do the college I was going to required you to get your pilot's license and so before I moved off to college I started to fly with Larry Short here and out of Combs Airport and I finished my license here and I just think this airport is one of the best things about this area and this will always be home. For more information on this event simply call the Big Sandy Regional Airport and Gary will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Reporting from Martin County for EKB News, I'm Sean Allen.
