    Where'd all the cement benches go?

    Several years ago, a gracious spouse of a member donated a bunch of $$$ to install the cement benches. It seems they've now been greatly reduced in prescence. None at all around hangars A and C. None along Celebration Way except at the entrance. None along Knapp by the forums. (Well a few in the middle).

    Whatzup? Someone getting a little sporty with the forklift and crunch them? Or just not enough attention to detail when planning their locations?

    I have a bad back. The wood benches just kill me. I guess it's the angle of the backrest. I can sit on a concrete bench for 5 mins and be good to go.

    There are a large number of concrete benches along Whitman Road. They run from ultralights to Vintage to homebuilts. Must be well over 100 of them.

    Yeah; no prob finding them there. As I perhaps poorly stated, they just weren't evenly distributed as in years past.
