Welcome to Sightline's Webletter!

Greetings from Sightline! Thank you to all of the new subscribers that have registered at Sightline.us to receive our webletter. Sightline specializes in Airport Marking Consulting, having 30 years of experience regarding pavement markings. The purpose of this seasonal publication, if it is new to you, is to inform about issues regarding Airport Markings.

We have completed all but one of our Airfield Marking Symposiums around the nation in the last few months. The last one is in our home state in Manassas, Virginia. We saved the best for last, so if you've been meaning to attend, Virginia Octobers are hard to beat. We hope to see you in Virginia!

We hope that you enjoy the following articles and strongly encourage feedback in the form of questions and comments! To send us feedback simply click on the "Contact Us" button on the right.

We'll be hanging out in the following places:

Bring Out Your Dead

Whether you're a fan of the Ministry of Silly Walks, Dead Parrots, Lumberjacks, or poor retroreflectivity, you'll find this article less than plaguing. More>>

Wisdom Imparted

Hindsight is 20:20. All we can hope to do is learn from our past experience and put another best foot forward. If you don't have a best foot, borrow someone else's. More>>
