Center and it’s connected to one of our available hangar spaces. So, when military units come to Charleston for multiple days to do training here, we offer that space to them so they’re not feeling as if they’re in the middle of our lobby and getting in people’s way. So it’s a complimentary space for them when they’re here training.” Lastly, the team at Yeager hasn’t forgotten to pay attention to the next generation of pilots and airport personnel. “One of the things we have at the Airport is a dog name Hercules,” says Public Affairs Manager, Chris Williams. “We have issues, sometimes, with wildlife; we have a lot of birds up here, so his job at the Airport is chasing the birds off the runway. His second job is to go out into the community. Last month, he went to a career day at an elementary school and he interacts with the kids. At the Halloween Parade, this year, which is a mile-and-a-half long, everyone knew who Hercules was. It was pretty cool to see.” PREFERRED VENDORS n Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center www.chaswvccc.com n Marshall University www.marshall.edu
