The Kalispell City Mport is a great asset to the City of Kalispell. I fly to Kalispell several times a
year for business. I always use the Kalispell City Airport. On rare occasions, I'll use the County
Airport and, again, it is always with reluctance. The City Airport is much more convenient and,
more importantly, considerably more user friendly.
Airports such as the .Kalispell City Airport are seeing a resurgent throughout the United States.
Reason: A lot of it has to do with government regulatory and things called "TSA". However, in
addition to that, there is a greater usefulness now afforded by current general aviation aircraft;
thanks to the marvelous GPS navigation system and overall reliability and equipment in small
aircraft.
As mentioned, I regularly fly to the Kalispell City Airport for business and I always use the City
Airport. I am not alone in the desire to use the City Airport. I have numerous acquaintances who
feel and do the same as 1; namely using the Kalispell City Airport. I've been flying since 1963 and
have been regularly using the airplane in our business since 1977. The Kalispell City Airport is
truly an asset to the City of Kalispell. If I may be of any help or if you have any questions, give me
a call.
Sincerely yours,
Loren Smith
