White/City airportGreetings,
I am writing to offer my support for your continued vigilance with
regard to the airport project. I am a strong supporter of the airport
and its benefits to our community. I am a licensed pilot and fly out of
the city airport. Before I became pilot, I regularly flew out of the
airport for search and rescue operations as the county search rescue
coordinator. I have also flown for law enforcement operations with the
aid of US Customs Air Branch. The proximity of the airport to our
network of public service entities makes it much more reasonable to
transport flight crew members and equipment back and forth between the
aircraft and the agencies that may be involved for mission planning and
deployment. Aviation can save lives when seconds and minutes count -
proximity can be critical!
I love the small town feel of our airport and the benefits of folks
being able fly into the area to enjoy this feeling. I know you all have
a lot of responsibility with regard to this process, but I hope the best
interests of the public as a whole can be met.
Respectfully,
Jordan White
