Mission Critical: Keep Military Aviation Airborne

摘要

Greg McShane, airfield operations officer for the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma - which operates in conjunction with the Yuma International Airport through a shared-used contract - detailed the differences between the air station's and airport's FOD needs. "They have one FOD sweeper on their side. We have a fleet on our side," McShane said. The overlap in equipment and operational needs between civilian aviation and military is most often found at joint-use airports. Though, as McShane explained, even then there is little the two entities share besides land.
