Anyone fly out of Ramona, CA?

Yup!

I think it's completed now, but not operational yet. I have heard they
also want to spread some traffic out from the other local airports,
the runway was also extended not too long ago. But you're right, even
at the most busy times there were only 3-4 planes in the pattern, and
most of those were from other airports going to RNM to do touch and
go's. There's always F70...

RNM is getting a TOWER??? That place isn't nearly busy enough to rate a
tower in my book, CDF tankers or not.

RMN is functional, it's far enough away from the fire. It's also a CDF
air base so they'll do everything they can to keep it open. (decent
airport too, just expanded with a new tower opening in the spring)

They claim it's the 3rd busiest airport in the county with over 130,000
operations a year :-)

By that score, APA should rate it's own Departure/Arrival control.

(1194 operations a day vs RNM's 277...actually 101K according to AirNav) :~)
