One less airport means fewer crashes?

No, but RHV has been on borrowed time for some time now. All the
paperwork is already done to close the airport (EI study etc). The
developers are circling and its just a question of when. Its an
interesting airport to fly into. Its about the most city-locked airport
I've seen. On final you can expect updrafts from the A/C units at the
shopping mall.
