Wild West at Oceanside Airport
R.I.P. for the pilot. The worst argument any aviator can make is “We we’re here first” It is such a selfish statement but unfortunately it is a argument pilots make repeadly. It shows a total lack of concern for the community that help build the airport. This selfishness is exactly why communities are moving and closing General Aviation Airports. In Oceanside the land is simply to valuable to justify 83 aircraft on 43 acres of Prime Property. Of those 83 aircraft 1/2 probably fly less than 40 hrs a Year, if they fly at all. It doesn’t make any difference what you are certified for, if you run out of fuel! Robert— January 31, 2019 7:39 p.m.
Gillespie Field pilots prompted to become “good neighbors”
I'm surprised that Mr. Bardack didn't tell Mr.Strom to move, that is usually Gillespie's answer. The 3 schools that teach China, middle east and Latin America student pilots started in 2006. The schoold don't care about voluntary noise restrictions, there making money. In 2005 US initiated these different Aviation Co-operations Programs (ACP treaties)to keep the FAA and their small airports like Gillespie in besiness with our tax money footing the bill. It is a sell-out to China from these so-called Patroits at Gillespie. Gillespie is 90% flght schools and 10% antique airplane enthusists. The schools are keeping Gillespie solvent but in the meantime training replacement workers for an aviation industry that the US is number one in. The State Dept., FAA and Mr. Bardack's Gillespie Field is helping China take the US's title away but they don't see it that way as they change yen into dollars. We don't need Patroits(neighbors) like this in East County. Gillespie Field has to go!— July 26, 2013 5:56 a.m.
