Here 's another airport that the City people wants to see it go. Write to these city members even if you are not local.. Oceanside Airport Needs You! Yet another valuable airport is being threatened by those who do not understand the immense value aviation plays in this nation. This time, it's a wonderful little airport in Southern California, specifically Oceanside, CA. We received the following missive courtesy one of ANN's favorite News-Spies and are sharing it, in its entirety, with you to respond as you see appropriate. Please note that if this potential closing does not directly affect you, that it is STILL advisable to show what support you can... because the next airport threatened may be yours, and you'll need all the help you can get... Dear Fellow Pilots: The City of Oceanside has scheduled a Workshop to determine the future of the Oceanside Airport on Wednesday, February 19th. The time of the meeting has not been determined yet. I will inform you when I know. It will be during the day. I am asking all area pilots to attend this meeting. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this meeting. The Council will either vote to CLOSE THE AIRPORT or vote to develop it. We cannot tolerate AIRPORT CLOSURE. The Oceanside Airport Association Board of Directors has done everything possible to garner support for the Oceanside Airport. If the Oceanside Airport is important to you, or if you would like to help prevent another airport closure, a few minutes of your time to email can make a difference. Here is what I need from you today: If you live in Southern California, please make a commitment to attend the workshop on February 19th. If not, please CALL, FAX, and/or E-mail the Oceanside Mayor and City Council asking them to Implement the 1997 Airport Master Plan Immediately. You can E-mail the council members simultaneously at council@ci.Oceanside.ca.us. Fellow pilots... this is the fork in the road. The future of the Oceanside Airport depends on what we pilots do in the next two weeks. The future of the Oceanside Airport depends on all of us.
