FIREX-AQ 8/19/19-9/5/19 Salina, Kansas Deployment Guide TRANSPORT OF LUGGAGE FROM BOISE TO SALINA The DC-8 transits to Salina on Monday, 8/19. Those that will be flying from Boise to Salina on commercial airlines will need to take their luggage with them. Those that will be flying from Boise to Salina on the transit flight will have their luggage transported via the trucks that are carrying the science equipment from Boise to Salina. The trucks are scheduled to leave Boise on Sunday, 8/18 and arrive in Salina on Tuesday, 8/20. This will require the luggage to be dropped off in a designated area of the hangar (TBD) before the end of the day on 8/17 and the need to carry an overnight bag on the transit flight that contains all personal hygiene, medical necessities and clean clothes needed for three days (8/18, 8/19 and 8/20). SALINA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT The Salina Municipal airport lies southwest of the city of Salina. Salina Municipal airport was a Strategic Air Command base that was closed in 1965 and is currently operated by the city of Salina. We will be operating from Hangar 600 at the airport (see maps). LODGING ESPO has set up room blocks at the Holiday Inn (3145 S 9th St), Fairfield Inn & Suites (2455 Virginia Drive) and Candlewood Inn & Suites (2650 Planet Avenue). See: https://espo.nasa.gov/firex-aq/content/FIREX- AQ_Lodging TRANSPORTATION We are attempting to have the rental cars that those flying on the transit flight have reserved staged at hangar 600 so they will be there when the DC-8 arrives. If we aren’t successful in arranging that ESPO will have two vans to transport people to their hotels. There will also be some participants with rental cars that will have arrived before the DC-8 that can hopefully assist in transporting people to their hotels. In this scenario ESPO, and others that have rental cars, will also then transport people to the rental car offices the morning after arrival.
