Ladies and Gentlemen:
As an active general aviation pilot and aircraft owner, I am appalled at
the continued efforts to close the only general aviation airport we have
available in the Kalispell area.
Developers have a huge selection of available real estate in the valley
and none of which would impact the aviation public as negatively as
closing Kalispell City Airport.
I urge you to consider the amount of travelers and visitors to our area
that this airport accommodates on a yearly basis. I think you should be
planning additional flying facilities rather than subtracting from the
precious little we now have available.
The safety factor of general aviation having it's own facility and not
having to mix with airline traffic at Glacier Park International is a
real and serious factor to weigh. The relative difference in operational
speeds make big and small aircraft very incompatible in a confined area
such as this valley between the mountain ranges.
I ask you to take these comments into consideration before slamming the
door on a well functioning, viable general aviation airport that
benefits many more residents and visitors than, maybe, you give credit
for.
Sincerely yours,
Larry Phillips
