Gallea/Kalispell City Airport ImprovementsDear City Council Members:
I am writing in support of the Kalispell City Airport and the proposed
improvements.
I am a private pilot residing in Helena, MT. My wife and I fly into and
out of S27 as our first choice whenever business or personal matters
arise in the Kalispell area. We feel your City Airport is a huge asset
to your community, offering safe and convenient access to Kalispell's
many amenities.
I am in total support of the proposed improvements at the airport. I
believe that lengthening and re-aligning the runway will make an already
safe airport even safer. These changes, plus raising the pattern
altitude, should also reduce the 'noise footprint' and lessen any
negative impacts of air traffic on nearby neighborhoods.
Please support not only the continued existence of Kalispell's City
Airport, but also the proposed improvements, and keep S27 the major
factor in Kalispell's vitality that it is today.
Sincerely,
William S. Gallea, MD
