Editor’s Note: The Fernandina Beach Airport Terminal project is on track and on budget and ready for completion toward the end of July this year. The final element to be added will be the “cockpit” skylight.” Thank you Chris Whelan for the photos.

In keeping with the headline, I wish to add we hear “the plane” has landed. Most recently two were heard doing such around 11PM last evening.
