and, shortly, another airport lost.

Unfortunately, you're right, Claire McMillen was seeking somebody to
purchase his share of the airport to keep it open, but now that he's out of
the way, the airport will probably become another subdivision of Fort
Collins within the next 5 years. It's a pity, 3V5 has the small airport
charm, but people want the land to build more subdivisions, more Wal-Marts,
more, more, more - yet they don't care one bit about GA. Just last year,
one of the women in my subdivision was upset that her house is in the path
of airplanes landing. She's afraid an airplane will 'fall' out of the sky
and kill her children (The largest plane is twin engine prop planes - no
jets on this small airstrip). Also, terrorists may use an airplane to spray
Antrax over the city - I'm not making this up.

Fellow aviators, we are an endangered species.....
