Wow! What a turnout in Tifton! ✈️🚨

Last Friday our membership really showed up for our most recent installment of our lunch and learn series, focusing on airport lighting, and understanding the maintenance and utility of those systems - resulting in our best lunch and learn yet!

We appreciate everyone that took time out of their day to join us, and hope it was time well spent with new dialogues held, and a better understanding of airport lighting to enhance our skill sets as aviation professionals.

We extend very special gratitude to Marty and Jacob Bennett of TCA Electrical Contractors as our session speakers, Holt Consulting Company, LLC as our lunch sponsor, and Perry Brothers Aviation Fuels as our venue sponsor. Your time and partnership make these collaborations successful for our members and industry.

Stay tuned for our next Regional Lunch and Learn topic and location announcement for Winter 2026!
