The new green replacement metal canopy donated by Willits Power Equipment is in service at the Willits airport. Mike Garrity, owner of Willits Power Equipment donated the new canopy after learning of the need.
“The prior canopy was a popular meeting place for the local EAA chapter and the many pilots who fly into Willits during the summer,” said Willits Airport Manager Dan Ramsey. “Unfortunately, the old canopy was recently damaged and we’ve been looking for a low-cost but sturdy replacement.”
John Sherman of the City of Willits contacted Willits Power, a local supplier for West Coast Metal Buildings, and Garrity agreed to make the donation.
“We appreciate our local airport and community,” said Garrity, “and want to support them in any way we can.”
“Other local businesses have offered to replace the old picnic benches with new ones and they will be delivered this fall. This is truly a community airport,” Ramsey added,
