The local chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America wants to place a special memorial in Hays. John Pyle is a member of the organization and has presented a request for land from the City of Hays for a helicopter display.

The request is for land on the east side of the airport entrance. The helicopters would come from Army surplus, and the group will fund and maintain the display.

The city wants to review the airport’s master plan before signing off on that location.
