Unlike Owensboro, Louisville, and Lexington, Capital City Airport has no control tower. But how do pilots keep track of traffic? Using a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (STAF), pilots can communicate with one another directly without an operating control tower to coordinate their position, intentions, and ensure safe aircraft separation.

Drones are becoming the norm in performing various tasks across multiple industries, and they are far from a toy - they are aircraft in and of themselves. Licensed Drone Operators help capture a wealth of information, processing it in order to provide helpful insight on a variety of projects - from tracking wildlife to inspecting structures!

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage and dedication have safeguarded the freedoms we enjoy every day.

As aviators, airport staff, and members of the aviation community, we are especially mindful of the many service members who took to the skies in defense of our country. Today, we honor their legacy and extend our gratitude to all who have served.

From all of us at Capital City Airport, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
