Narrative:
Again an aircraft was sent around because the savannah airport commission refuses to put a C3 taxiway sign, for aircraft landing runway 27. C3 taxiway is the first taxiway available for landing aircraft on runway 27. This is about the fifth time an aircraft was sent around because of this unmarked taxiway. Why! Why!
