SubscribeMcClellan Palomar International Airport
Airports globally are facing new problems due to reduced maintenance resources, the accommodation of larger aircraft, and surfacing which requires ongoing maintenance.
When McClellan Palomar airport decided to renovate its segmented windsock area, it was apparent that Air FieldTurf's aviation-grade artificial turf would improve the color contrast and allow pilots to see the windsock from much greater distances. When the windsock at McClellan Palomar airport was re-located, it was necessary to have a background to contrast with the tan desert surface.

This same aviation-grade artificial turf can also be applied to reduce the ever present threat of foreign object damage. It also reduces the need to close operational areas for mowing & ground maintenance.
This 10,000 square foot windsock installation represents yet another innovative surfacing solution. The installation of Air FieldTurf is an effective solution for complex surfacing problems. A sound investment. A better alternative.
