Jun 13th
“With lineage dating back to 1928, Boulder Municipal Airport has played an amazing part in aviation history,” said Boulder Municipal Airport Manager Tim Head. “On Airport Day, we bring out the planes, old and new, to celebrate. It is a great combination of fun and education that everyone in the family can enjoy.”
In addition to showcasing airport amenities, the event will feature numerous types of aircraft, including military helicopters, sport airplanes, experimental airplanes, WWII aircraft and antique airplanes. There will also be kids’ activities, shops, food vendors, and rides for purchase in a helicopter and an open-cockpit bi-plane.
At approximately 6:30 a.m., there will also be up to six hot air balloons conducting a joint lift-off. Spectators may park on the east side of the terminal building, at 3335 Airport Road, to watch the launches from up close.
Boulder police to conduct bomb training exercise on June 8
Jun 7th
On Wednesday, June 8, Fairview High School will be the site of a bomb training exercise involving the Boulder Police Department, the Boulder Fire Department, Pridemark Paramedic Service, the FBI, Boulder Valley School District officials and administrators from Fairview and Boulder High Schools. Several students are also volunteering.
There are several objectives for the exercise: to provide the Boulder Valley School District with information and recommendations for dealing with a bomb-related incident on school grounds; to coordinate a multi-agency response and to allow the participating agencies an opportunity to fine-tune their tactics and protocols.
The exercise will begin at 12:30 p.m., and will take place mostly inside the school. School is out for the summer, and there should be no impact on traffic or roads in the area.
Members of the media are invited to attend between 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. For safety reasons and to insure the integrity of tactics used, reporters are asked not to videotape the drill or to photograph or videotape the students who are participating.
Fairview High School is located at 1515 Greenbriar Blvd.
