Airport Open; Pirates await flight
Pitt-Greenville Airport is open and planes are flying in and out today, an official there said.
“We’ve got the runways cleared and we’re not expecting any cancellations or delays out of the airport,” said Carolyn Travis, the airport’s office manager.
Several plows and a crew of six were pushing snow off the tarmac about 3:30 today.
While they did that, the East Carolina University men’s basketball team watches and waits for their flight out to Texas for a weekend schedule of games against the University of Houston tomorrow and Southern Methodist University in Dallas on Saturday.
John Moseley, director of basketball operations for ECU, said he isn’t fearing weather conditions.
“I know the flight crew wouldn’t put us in any danger. We’re comfortable trusting their expertise,” Moseley said.
This kind of travel isn’t new to coach Darryl LaBarrie.
“I’ve landed in Chicago in weather like this. We’ll be fine,” LaBarrie said.
