I love it when people move to an area next to an airport and then have the audacity to complain about noise. Get a white noise machine or just MOVE!
Well for those of us on the air side of this argument, it is nice to see the govt standing up to keep this historic and well loved airport open for a while longer. Sadly, I feel that the writing is on the wall and the community doesn't understand the revenue and access that an aiport can provide, especially one this busy, and will only come to realize what they are pushing away once it is gone.
This crowd will never understand....Douglas Aircraft moved to Long Beach with 44,000 jobs when the city refused to extend the runway to allow the DC-8 to be built there. Now they claim they need the land for "public purposes" so essentially they will lose all airport revenue from landing fees, fuel taxes, etc.
Won't they need to reimburse the FAA for all the monetary help they received over the life of the contract? Seems to me, this happened when Daley Jr decided to plow up Meigs Airport on Chicago's lakefront one weekend.
