Port of Ephrata Executive Director David Lanman sits at his desk in the port office. Through the systems available on his computer, Lanman can track the types of aircraft that fly above or near the port, allowing him to identify opportunities to draw in more traffic at the port’s airstrip. As a pilot himself, having served in the military and as an on-call pilot and airport consultant for years, Lanman is hoping to leverage his experience to help the port flourish.
