Greetings from Sightline!

Sightline is a team of Airfield Marking Consultants. We don't paint; instead we are marking experts, working with the industry to improve marking systems worldwide.

The purpose of this seasonal publication, if it is new to you, is to inform about issues regarding airport markings. Thanks to all of you who subscribed through our website at sightline.us.

We hope you had a restful holiday season and spent some quality time with family and friends. The fiscal cliff was averted for now, but many of us felt the sting losing another two percent of our paychecks. We're going to somehow have to pay for the tremendous gap in the infrastructure budget... Two percent may well be a harbinger of things to come.

Ignorance Is Brief

Many of you are probably reading this on your cell phone right now. In the age of information, the focus has been on presenting content to users conveniently and fast. People are glued to their cell phones so much, it's hard to have a good 'ol fashion conversation anymore. But there's no need for conversation when everyone has already heard or read anything you'd want to talk about anyway. More>>
