I wonder if EAA staffer in charge of grounds map will ever correct the statement that "shuttles run from 6:30 AM to 11:30 PM. That statement has always been a "bone of contention" to Tram operators on late afternoon shift when at *8 PM we are told to terminate. We always get people wondering how they are going to get around. The Busses seem to disappear around 9 or so. I asked this question a few months ago and was asked to e mail someone at headquarters. To clarify, the word tram was changed to shuttle a couple years ago.

That will probably happen in the same timeframe as they correct the grounds maps to draw Vern Ave correctly from Wittman Rd to Knapp St and past Parking Lot F to our tram turn North between the exhibit hangars. - lol

Somehow they have a pronounced north dogleg drawn in at Knapp for Vern that does not exist as drawn. It actually is an almost straight shot from Wittman on past Hangar B.

There’s an article in the new Sport Aviation about the expanded South 40. The article and the accompanying map show tram service to the very south end. ChocagoRandy has already told us that will be busses, not trams down there, which would be consistent with last year. And makes more sense. I guess the people who do these articles and maps never ride either the busses or the trams, they tool around in golf carts, so they don’t know or care about the difference. I appreciate both the tram folks and the bus drivers.

It's a rough job, but we love to do it, but Randy needs to come up with some new jokes.
