Carter/AirportDear Kalispell City Council,
The last two years I have made a trip to Montana each summer, to fish in
your pristine waters of the south fork Flathead river. Each time I have
flown my 32 year old airplane into the Kalispell airport, for a stop
before we entered the backcountry. Each trip I have spent over $500 in
fuel, food, supplies, and fishing licenses in your city. I realize that
is small peanuts in your arena, but the convenience and hospitality of
your airport and city, make it a must stop on every trip to Montana. I
urge you to take a close look at the economic statement your airport
creates, and I feel closing it would be a detriment to your fine city.
Thank you for your time.
PS. I live in Oregon and regularly fish the McKenzie River. It is
another pristine river that you should see, although with a different
view due to its location.
