BACKGROUND: Mr. James E. Simmons, General Manager of the 1986 Buchanan Field Airport
Open House —letter of February 26, 1986—requesting the Board consider designating
June 15, 1986, for a one-day Open House at Buchanan Field Airport. This request was
modified by the sponsoring groups to include "recognition" of the preceding week as
"Contra Costa County Aviation Week".
The Federal Aviation Administration (Buchanan Field Airport Tower) , the Contra Costa
Airports Business Association, and the Aviation Committee of the Concord Chamber of
Commerce, request support for this Declaration and the use of the County's Buchanan
Field Airport. Fixed Base Operators will actively support this event and the Concord
Chamber will help manage the activities slated for the day, as well as noting our other
national observance this year, that of 75 years of United States Naval Aviation.
The one-day Open House will not include any air demonstrations, (acrobatic or aerobatics,
or air shows) except those routinely permitted under ordinary and normal FAA Tower
Control . Exhibits, static displays, food and beverages, concession stands, FBO demon-
strations and 10-cent/lb. airplane rides, etc. , will be included in the Open House.
Satisfactory insurance coverage will be provided by the Concord Chamber of Commerce.
