Thanks guys, this morning 90% of the votes were to close the airport. After a day of it being posted on a few forms looks like things changed.

That's a beautififul airport.

No option of noise abatement procedures? It's all or nothing with these folks...heh.



Oh we already have that. Were not allowed to do tough and go's and were supposed to avoid flying bellow 6.5K unless landing.

I tried to vote, but it said that I already had. (I had not.)

Looks like we're losing.

Same here, I absolutely had not voted but said I already had.   A definite  :noid
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

They need to stop trying to build so many houses in an obvious loud noise area or just shut up and move one. Airports are good for business of all types.

Yeah.
If you take a look at MCAS Miramar in the middle of San Diego it has a whole bunch of empty space around it. Military does not need it at all but they don't want to sell it because as soon as civilians move in they'll start complaining and the base will be forced to move.

How about this news article on the subject from this morning?

Quote
In the Crescent Moon Park area, near Cathedral Rock, is where Kristin Monday says exhaust fumes are the worst.
 
This isn’t simply exhaust from vehicles or lawn mowers, but jet exhaust from planes coming in and out of the Sedona Airport, and it’s making Monday and her husband ill, she says.
 
Monday is leading a charge to close the airport, both online and locally, in an effort to keep her home, which is located under the airport’s flight path, and remain in Sedona. Monday believes the facility should be relocated to another site or not used at all. Fumes from aircraft, she believes, are drifting into her neighborhood and making those who live there sick.
 
For the full story, see the Friday, April 20, edition of the Sedona Red Rock News.

Kristin Monday needs to move. The airport is much better to the local economy than she is.

When I'm not at my "real" job, I'm at my "fun" job working at the local airport. I have never become sick from any exhaust fumes, and I can guarantee I have been exposed to it much more than any of those hypochondriacs.

Dare I say I kind of like the smell of it?  :airplane:

The biggest reason folks go to Sedona is for tourism.

The bunch of times that I have been there, I have never seen any type of "industry".  At least not as it would be classified around here.

That lady is completely full of crap.  I would wager that there is three times as much pollution and "fumes" from vehicular traffic in the Sedona area than could ever be produced by air traffic.

Sounds more like a case of "I bought this house so I could have "stuck-up snob status" and now wants to keep the tourism down so that her and her ilk can try to keep Sedona to themselves.

I would say that that area is one of the most scenic places to visit in that part of the country, by land and ESPECIALLY by air.  I do not believe that there will be less air traffic if there is not an airport there.  Just less planes landing and taking-off.

The touch-n-go/6.5k rules are very reasonable.

My question what does the Chamber of Commerce think about all this?  I would also appeal to the Arizona Dept. of Tourism.  I certainly wouldn't just roll over on this issue.

Contact the EAA, AOPA, etc.  Get some pilots fired up about this.   :aok

I agree Von, but tourism is big industry, or the only industry for many regions. Airports like this are important.
