III. OLD BUSINESS
A. Airport Activity Report — Mr. Loy presented the airport usage report for November
2013. Airline enplanements were up 4%. There were several flights cancelled during the
month due to weather, however, most of the flights were full. The load factor percentage
continued to do well for the month at 63%.
B. Cape Aviation Report — Mr. Irwin presented the Cape Aviation Fuel Report for
November 2013. Fuel sales were up 35% which Mr. Irwin attributed to having a larger
fuel truck. He also noted an increase in military traffic reportedly due to new regulations
that require them to use airports with military contract fuel.
C. Project Updates —
• Hangar/Lease Update —Mr. Loy informed the Board that the restaurant lease is
now on the Council agenda and does include new carpet. Mr. Loy hopes to have
the carpet soon after the lease is approved.
• Commander Update — Mr. Loy informed the Board that due to ongoing
negotiations between Ms. Berms Mao and Sabreliner in Perryville, MO, the City

T -Hangar Construction Update – Mr. Loy informed the Board that the work on
the new t -hangars has been suspended until the rest of the building materials are —'
received. The materials are expected to arrive in approximately one (1) week.
• 2014 Air Festival and ICAS Conference Follow Up – Mr. Loy informed the
Board that he attended the 2013 International Council of Air Shows Conference
(ICAS) where the Canadian Forces Snowbirds officially announced they will
perform in Cape Girardeau on May 17-18, 2014. Mr. Loy reported that the
conference went well but attendance was down due to fewer military shows
planned for 2014. Mr. Loy stated that he was able to speak with all of the
performers he is considering for the show and received several commitments. At
present, he has only paid a deposit to Paul Stender. Other performers being
considered include: Aerostars, Melissa and Res Pemberton, U.S. Army Golden
Knights, and Matt Younkin. Mr. Loy noted that the sequestration continues to
affect this air show season as he does not anticipate receiving any military support
in regards to static displays.
Mr. Loy is planning an air show meeting with key volunteers very soon to discuss
some of the logistics of the show. He has also been in contact with Bootheel
Harley Davidson about the possibility of them sponsoring the Friday night social
event. Mr. Loy plans to meet with the casino as well in hopes they will participate
in a sponsorship capacity. Lambert International Airport has agreed to sponsor
again at the $10,000 level and conversations with other sponsors have been very
positive. Additionally, Lambert is also assisting in requesting static aircraft such
as a regional jet from commercial airlines.
