Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The Buchanan Field Airport Open House to be held Father's Day, June 18, 1995, was approved at the
May 9,1995, meeting of the Board of Supervisors. The Open House Committee has planned an
exciting, fun-filled day to be enjoyed by the entire family, on Father's Day, June 18, 1995, at Buchanan
Field Airport. Shortly after the Board Order had been prepared, John Piggott, performer, a popular
professional west coast airshow, learned of the Open House and enthusiastically approached the
Committee about his interest in performing at this event.
The committee supports John Piggott's desire to provide a 15-minute limited aerial demonstration over
the uncongested area of Buchanan Field Airport. The committee views this as an opportunity to
display local talent and spread good public relations earned through the Airport's continuing effort to
promote our good neighbor policy. The proposed demonstration will be in the public interest and
conducted in strict accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety standards. During
Mr. Piggott's performance, the airport will be closed to other traffic.
