For Double Eagle II Airport (AEG) users, check NOTAMS. Airport Management gives this heads up. A1 taxiway is closed for a few days. They’re almost done- although NOTAM indicates longer.

To access 17/35, you’ll use taxiway A3 from the compass rose. So:
From the south ramp, A3 to A, A4 to C, then left or right on Bravo to either 17 or 35.

Merry Christmas from all the members of EAA Chapter 179 in Albuquerque New Mexico!
