Enclosed are 17 letters we recently received expressing safety concerns on the
radio towers south of your airport.
A review of our records shows that the radio towers existed in 1964 when the
City of Kalispell proposed reactivation of the airport. In fact, the Federal
Aviation Administration advised the city at that time that they should consider
the effect the towers would have on operations at the airport and/or the effect
the airport would have on the towers.
Considering the above circumstances, we are forwarding these letters to you for
your action. Enclosed is a copy of the recently revised Marking and Lighting
Advisory Circular for your use should you decide to contact the tower owners
regarding strobe lighting.
If you have any questions, please call me at (206) 431-2535.
Sincerely,
erg
