Foreign Object Debris... FOD is a problem on any airport runway. It causes damage to engines and planes. It can also injure runway workers when jets take off. It is a constant battle.
We have an annual FOD walk that is open to the public on Saturday, August 21, 2021, from 6:30 - 9:30 am EST. It is a good day to network and help clean up the runway. See our Facebook site for more details.
