To celebrate South Carolina Aviation Week--April 27 through May 3--Beaufort Executive Airport is hosting the first Runway FOD Walk Event. FOD stands for Foreign Object Debris and volunteers will help keep the airfield safe and operational by removing any debris from the runway area. That will ensure a clean, hazard-free environment for aircraft operations.

The Runway FOD Walk will be held Saturday, May 3, beginning at 9 a.m., at Beaufort Executive Airport, 39 Airport Circle, Lady's Island (map).

Volunteers are asked to wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Doughnuts and coffee will be served after the walk.

This is a great opportunity to support aviation safety, connect with the community, and get a little fresh air. All volunteers are welcome—no experience needed.
