The construction of the new airport is on schedule with paving of the runway to begin in 12 weeks. With over 40 million cubic yards of material moved since the beginning, still much work is to be done – obviously.
I’m not telling you anymore, you’ll just have to watch the video after the break.

That’s right, you read correctly. Almost live coverage of the Grand Lagoon National Fishing Tournament. By Almost Live, I mean that I’ll be posting tournament results and updates as often as I can, but not exactly as they occur.
Crews were getting set up today for the events to start tommorrow, a day later than originally planned due to Tropical Storm Fickle Fay. Of course, now, Fay is expected to make her way back over our area Friday and Saturday.

Ahh, summertime at the beach. It really doesn’t get much better than this. Of all the joys in this world, it is hard to beat a beach sunset on Panama City Beach. People come here from all over and almost everyone believes our beaches really are amongst the finest in the world. White sand, emerald waters, beautiful skies. . .
Anyway, enough chatter, check the vid after the break.
A needed and overdue skate park is being built on Panama City Beach and is set to open in the next two weeks.
Brian Kehl, local developer and restaurant owner had a vision and wanted a place for not only him and his 7 year old, but a place for local talent to skate ramp.
Growing up, Brian had a 9 foot vert ramp in his back yard that him and his brother Corey would skate after school and on weekends. With the only place to skate ramp around here being in Lynn Haven at Renegade Sports Center, Brian wanted something that was not only closer, but a place that would be taken more seriously as a skate park.

The construction of the new Panama City – Bay County International Airport is ahead of schedule. The entire 1300 acres of the initial footprint is cleared with crews to start paving the main entry way from 388 in the next couple of weeks.
The recent approval of the state budget that included $12 million from the state will fund the first extension of the runway. Day one of operation for the new airport will include a full 10,000 foot runway. In addition, all the preparatory work will be done so that when they need to lengthen the runway to the full 12,000 feet, it will take a mere matter of months.
Something else that is cool about the construction of the new airport is that the terminal will be LEED certified using all recycled material. The stormwater treatment will be 50% greater than what is required.
There will be an additional 1400 acres outside the airport property that will be used for commercial development.
Check after the break for the video and more pictures.

I’m sure this happens every year around this time, but this is really the first time I’ve noticed it – huge, beautiful cumulus clouds.
Everytime I’m outside, I’m completely captivated at how beautiful these clouds are.
Apparently when the warm ocean air blows inshore and rises to meet the cooler air at a higher altitude, the water vapor condenses and begins a rising/falling behavior that results in the formation of these huge cumulus clouds.
Again, one of the neat things about our area that makes it so beautiful.

The FSU Flying High Circus has come to Panama City Beach. They’ve got a ten-year contract with the city to be at Frank Brown Park. They put the tent up a couple of weeks ago and started rehearsal this week. The show will start next Friday.
All of the performers are students, some full time, some not, but all totally dedicated. Nate Stapp said the FSU Flying Circus has been performing for 62 years, the whole time in Callaway Gardens in Georgia.
In the next couple of weeks, it will turn into a “little city” with RV’s all around, concession stands, and a fence. The performers are staying at Seahaven and will be here all summer.
Check out the video after the break.
