This current City Council has mismanaged the public participation aspect. They seem to underestimate our aerospace heritage and it is a major destination. They should be adding more airplanes like a B-1 or L1011 but our Congressman will not help them. Thisis our heritage!

“ When fully developed, the airpark will showcase over 40 retired military and civilian aircraft.”
“Fully developed?” Not much chance of that due to city neglect. There would be more airplanes there if not for continuing management incompetence.
Better hurry and visit the Airpark when it opens up. As they have shut out the volunteers maintaining the aircraft, it is only going to become a shadow of its former self.
