Military airspace expansion could disrupt Permian pilots
The U S Air Force seeks to widen eastern New Mexico airspace west of Cannon AFB from 500 feet to 32000 feet, potentially forcing Odessa Midland departures to detour via Clovis, increasing fuel use and flight time. USPA president Steve Uslan warns of higher midair collision risk with F 16s and smaller aircraft.

Leonardo Bridge project aims to grace West Texas campus
Norwegian artist Vebjorn Sand and Odessa architect Dan Hart unveiled a Leonardo designed pedestrian bridge for UTPB. The plan ties Da Vinci’s timeless aesthetics to Texas limestone, with two site options costing about 1.5 million or 400 thousand dollars. Funding hopes include a 40 thousand dollar Texas Parks and Wildlife grant and donor support. Team da Vinci includes Odessa art figures UTPB and Parkhill Cooper Smith. Completion could take six months to a year after site approval, possibly this summer.

Pilots Seek Remote Radar to Safeguard Nearby Airspace
Odessa pilot Steve Uslan and a U S Pilots Association rep back a plan to help navigate military airspace. They warn radio gaps 30 miles north of Roswell to 10 miles east of Albuquerque raise safety concerns and could lengthen routes for private and commercial flights. Air Force hearings are set in Santa Rosa Fort Sumner and Clovis this week.
