| Well just to make things more fun, this isn't reflected in the latest

the

| Oh yeah, they've installed an AWOS out there about a year ago -- nice,

| It is reflected in the A/FD dated Nov 20th.

| Even if it weren't in the A/FD, it could just as easily have been
published

simply

|
| What really blows away some pilots is sometimes changes are made
coincident
| to the new A/FD publication and the change is not reflected in the NOTAM.
| So even if you check your chart and the NOTAMs, if you don't check the
A/FD,
| you still may not have all the available information.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

You figured that out all by yourself????
