Hello to everyone at Front Range -

I made it safe and sound (and very quickly) to Kyrgyzstan. By quickly, I mean 31 hours of travel with short stops in Baltimore, Germany, and Turkey. The planes didn't break and there were no delays - the best I could ask for. I'm already on my second day of work and finally have a minute to e-mail. Tired but otherwise doing fine.

It's very cold here - 20s - 40s, and this is a warm week. There is a lot to see. The mountains are HUGE here. When I get the chance I'll send some pictures. The highest peak in Kyrgyzstan is over 24,000 feet high!!!

I hope you all are doing ok.

Experimental Aircraft Association volunteer pilot Lothar Klingmuller and Young Marine Sgt. Elizabeth Struwe, 16, get ready for take off Saturday, Aug. 23, from Front Range Airport in Watkins. Klingmuller is part of the EAA Young Eagles program which gives interested youth, ages 8 to 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane.

Welcome to our new Website. The Front Range Airport is an incredible story of an airport that continued to grow in spite of overwhelming opposition. Our Website has been redesigned to tell our story and provide easy to find information for those interested in our vision and sharing its opportunities.
