 2011 Full Scale Exercise

  

The Dane County Regional Airport was the scene of an aircraft disaster

exercise on Tuesday, June 14th when airport officials, law enforcement agencies, Dane County emergency responders, the Red Cross and many other state, county and local agencies staged a mock incident to test their ability to respond. 

 

Over 300 volunteers, emergency responders, military personnel, and airport staff participated in this very important exercise.


The Federal Aviation Administration requires disaster exercises to be held every three years to ensure emergency personnel can act quickly and effectively. Officials used this exercise to focus on testing communications, victim rescue, firefighting capability and how different agencies work together.  View the photos HERE!

Flight Tails

Frontier Airlines -- ANIMAL TAILS

Frontier Airlines uses a unique motif for marking aircraft.  Frontier is the first air carrier to debut wildlife photography on the vertical stabilizers and winglets of the aircraft to produce a distinctive look, touted in their slogan: "A Whole Different Animal".

 

Each animal on the tail of a Frontier Airlines Airbus and Lynx Aviation Q400 has a name and a unique story, the most famous being "Larry the Lynx," "Grizwald the Bear," "Jack the Rabbit", "Flip the Dolphin", "Hector the Sea Otter", and "Jim, Joe, Jay, and Gary the Penguins. When Frontier was promoting its New Mexico service, the airline launched its "Send Flip to Mexico" campaign, and Frontier's "Denver's Favorite Animal" campaign continues to shine attention upon their popular tails.  Watch for your favorite as you travel from Madison, or view them all HERE!  Or visit YouTube to see the television commercials.
