Execflyer Completes Eye in the Sky Press tour
The brief was to transport over 20 journalists and key Bausch and Lomb representatives to a series of lunchtime briefings, designed to introduce the new product and educate more fully on age-related macular degeneration – the UK’s leading cause of blindness. With helicopters departing Bristol, Cardiff, Nottingham, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Pegasus and the team at Execflyer worked for two months planning the events, ensuring that venues, drivers, helicopters and landing sites were all prepared. Passengers were transported in VIP helicopters including the Agusta 109, Eurocopter EC135 and the AS 355 Twin Squirrel. Given the weather that the UK experienced in the last two weeks, all parties involved made an exceptional effort to ensure that all flights went without a hitch.
Stuart Hehir, director of Pegasus commented, “We have been highly impressed by the level of professionalism and attention to detail in the planning and operation of this potentially complex series of events. Our priority was to ensure that the briefings went as smoothly as possible and this was certainly the case, with many journalists actively emailing us to say how enjoyable the transport had been. I would happily recommend the team at Execflyer and we will certainly be using them for all our future chartering needs.”
Steven Moth, director of Execflyer added “My thanks go to all operators and crew that were involved in this tour of the UK. Weather factors were certainly against us on most days, though the planning and expertise of all parties involved ensured that we managed to fly all but one sector which was affected by fog. Pegasus did an exceptional job and their attention to detail as well as clear communication were important components in completing these charter trips”.

AboutAirportParking.com Helps In Fight Against Hunger
Between now and November 30, as families across the country make travel plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas, each airport parking reservation made through www.AboutAirportParking.com/FeedingAmerica will result in a $5 donation to Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity.
“People come to our site for a convenient way to get great deals on airport parking. Now, they can go to www.AboutAirportParking.com/FeedingAmerica for a convenient way to make their parking reservation while, at the same time, contributing to the fight against hunger,” said Erik Budde, CEO of AboutAirportParking.com.
A report Monday from the United States Department of Agriculture said 49 million Americans are food insecure. This marks an increase of 36 percent over the 36.2 million who were at risk of hunger a year ago.
According to Feeding America, 41.5 percent of all the households it serves reported having to choose between buying food and paying for utilities or heat within the previous 12 months. More than one-third (35 percent) of client households reported having to choose between paying for food and paying their rent or mortgage.
“Not having a place to park at the airport is a minor inconvenience. Not having enough food on the table to feed yourself or your family is a major problem that we should all be working toward solving. Our contribution is just a small part of the concerted effort it will take from businesses, individuals and charitable organizations like Feeding America to address this issue that impacts nearly 50 million Americans,” said Budde.
AboutAirportParking.com
AboutAirportParking.com is a directory of over 400 airport parking lots at more than 100 airports in the U.S.. The site provides price comparisons, interactive maps and user reviews to help travelers find the best lot for their needs.

The Lights are Falling! How Not to Lower the Lights
In August, the CPSC issued an advisory about outdoor steel stadium light poles after nine in Texas fell and 50 developed fractures and/or cracks. The problem was so persistent the CPSC is now investigating a variety of manufacturers’ light poles. In response, two wholly owned subsidiary of TUV Rheinland North America Holding Company called Non-Destructive Testing Services, Inc. (NDTS) and Unified Testing Services, Inc. (UTS) are reminding facility managers that visual examination of the outdoor structure is not enough to catch potentially fatal flaws.
“The high-mast luminaire, if overlooked, can become a loaded gun but many of the issues cannot be found with the naked eye,” said Donald Uptain, president of Unified Testing Services, Inc., a full-service testing and consulting engineering firm headquartered in Woodstock, Ala. “A thorough safety inspection and testing program should be established for these types of structures. Even brand new, they could have serious flaws that had been introduced during the manufacturing, welding or anchoring stages. Specialized testing equipment will catch those issues.”
High-mast luminaires are commonly found lining the nation’s highways and roadways, providing light once the sun sets. Outdoor stadium light poles, also known as high-mast luminaires, are usually found in facilities such as recreational parks and fields, parking lots, outdoor stadiums, high schools and colleges, and prisons. These towers usually withstand years of abuse from the environment. But wind can fatigue the entire structure from the anchor bolts to the vertical welds, and moisture from rain and snow can contribute to corrosion. In some cases, improper installation can result in a tilted pole or loose screw plates.
“The safety of an outdoor structure can be compromised by either environmental conditions or human error,” said Bob Bills, president of Non-Destructive Testing Services, Inc., a full-service material inspection company headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich. “In worst-case scenarios, structural or construction flaws can cause serious injuries or even death to bystanders. Safety inspection and testing along with periodic assessments can help minimize those potential dangers.”
NDTS and UTS provide inspection services for high-mast luminaires using qualified/certified personnel and specialized ultrasonic testing equipment. Inspectors are certified to the requirements of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) recommend practice SNT-TC-1A. Pole inspections follow written guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) ‘Procedure for the Inspection of High-Mast Luminaires.’”
Services consist of certified welding inspectors and NDT technicians inspecting the general structure including the welded and bolted connections, and utilizing liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, and ultrasonic testing for cracks. Additionally, a thorough visual examination of the pole base is offered along with testing of the nuts to the anchor base.
For more information about the High-Mast Luminaires Inspection Program at UTS, call 1-TUV-RHEINLAND (888-743-4652).

Mobility Scooter Rental in Disney, Orlando only £22 per day
I suffer severely with arthritis, so decided to use the service of a Mobility Scooter Rental company in Orlando on this visit.
After trauling the internet, we found a company called www.SunMobilityRentals.com . Not only was their prices the lowest on the internet, but their service was second to none.
The Pride Elite Traveller PLUS mobility scooter arrived at my Disney Hotel at 8am in the morning. It was not just dropped off outside like some of the other companies were doing, a young man called David delivered the scooter to my room, and spent about 20 mins with me, showing me how to break it down into 5 pieces, to go into the back of the car. He also gave me some tuition on how to use the machine.
I was so delighted with the scooter at the end of my trip, I asked www.SunMobilityRentals.com how much one of these scooters would cost to buy. This is what really blew me away. They sold me the machine that I had been using around the Disney Parks for the past 2 weeks, at a fraction of the price that I could buy a new one for. I simply booked it onto the Virgin aircraft home for FREE... (Airlines can not charge you for taking these on board, and it is not classed as part of your luggage allowance either)... when I got off the aircraft at Gatwick, the scooter met me at the enterence to the aircraft.... I simply put it togehter which took 15 seconds, and then rode it through the whole airport, and back to my car.
Fantastic service guys. I would certainly recommend www.SunMobilityRentals.com to everyone.
P.S. Disney now charge $45 per day to rent a scooter in the parks. www.SunMobilityRentals only charged me $22 per day for a much better machine!

Senator Patty Murray requests funding for the Northern Columbia Basin Railroad Project
On her website, Senator Murray states, "An important part of my job as your U.S. Senator is to help Washington state communities and businesses get federal support for projects that will create jobs, get our economy moving and make a difference for Washington’s families. My staff and I have taken a look at all of the project requests that have come in this year. We put a priority on those projects that have broad-based local support and will create jobs and generate economic growth."
The $5 million in funding requested for the Port of Moses Lake will provide for the construction of Segments 2 and 3 (of the Northern Columbia Basin Railroad Project), which is a trunk-line extension serving the Grant County International Airport's east industrial area and the rehabilitation of existing track and upgraded crossings.
"Extending a line to the airport's east industrial area will provide for further economic growth and facilitate the operations of over five existing companies that employ over 1,000 workers, and the additional developments of crossings along the line will significantly enhance the safety and flow of commuters and pedestrians in the region," said Murray on her website.
