What happened to you? The city of Santa Monica must have the same condition as me, they filed a Lawsuit to force the FAA to allow local control of SMO, for a park or anything more useful than a private club for 200 flyboys. Were you so incompetent that you couldn't fly a plane safely? I prefer the pilots of AA chaueffering me around the country, thanks. |

The city of Santa Monica must have the same condition as me, they filed a Lawsuit to force the FAA to allow local control of SMO, for a park or anything more useful than a private club for 200 flyboys. Slight problem there -- it seems that at least part of the airport was granted "in perpetuity" -- what part of that clause don't you understand? SMO is a center for transportation for many of the prouducers in the area, rather than for the looters, moochers and drones who wish to close it. Were you so incompetent that you couldn't fly a plane safely? I take the answer is "yes." I prefer the pilots of AA chaueffering me around the country, thanks. The only problem with that is that AA doesn't necessarily take you where you want to go; SMO can, and does so. You can go to anywhere in the world from SMO or any other GA airport -- and -- you don't have to depend on somebody else's schedule or routes.

You're welcome. g My favorite commenter: "Everyone here is going to hate me, but.....I think redeveloping SM airport into a modern mixed use neighborhood would be amazing. It would certainly benefit a lot more people than the airport does. You want to talk about jobs? How about the construction that will take place. Then the highly paid knowledge workers will come in and make the area even better. These people won't commute. They'll live in the mixed use housing. The taxes from property and sales in the area will be huge. Its a no brainer. Yes it sucks that we lose an airport, but the reality is the piston aircraft hobby is a dying one. As far as the 1%ers and their jets/turboprops, I couldn't care less if they have to sit in the back of a limo from Van Nuys to Brentwood. As a Bonanza pilot in Los Angeles, I'd use the redeveloped airport more than I use the airport right now.".......... Many posters discount noise complainants as living outside of Santa Monica, of course they live in the adjoining city of Los Angeles, which gets all the inbound noise. Face it, the lease expires in 2015 and a Leisure World complex works for me! In closing, you still have LAX 6 miles away, with plenty of acreage for hangers along the perimeter, and LAX is buying up more land to the NE of the field. |

These VIP can trek the extra long SIX miles to LAX. Were you so incompetent that you couldn't fly a plane safely? I take the answer is "yes." I prefer the pilots of AA chaueffering me around the country, thanks. I live in the Chicago area and on average fly twice per year, its not economical or conservative for me to take flying lessons. My taxes paid for the flight training for many AA pilots in the USAF, so that works for me. AA has bathrooms and had kitchens, which I like. All the interesting destinations are served by AA, many with nonstop service from ORD. AA has upgraded me to First Class twice and has never stranded me overnight. These days I fly even less because I find Chicago more useful as a vacationing spot. More people come here every year from all over the world. |
