“Aerotropolis” plan for Gillespie Field?
More small planes over El Cajon, Santee and Lakeside will be horrible! They are noisy over our homes, even going late at night! They use Fully Leaded Fuel, spewing it over our families, homes and properties. I was horrified to learn that all of these planes use fully leaded fuel. Why is this allowed to happen. Leaded gas in planes has been banned all over the world, except in the US. Why? That's why these foreign flight schools want to use our air space. We are the only modern country that will allow them to fly! Please people! Protect our environment and insist that the FAA ban the use of leaded fuel!! How many Americans actually fly small planes anymore? Not many. WW2 veterans used to fly. Most American's can't afford to fly private planes anymore. Why do we want all these foreign pilots flying planes using leaded fuel over our airspace? Especially in San Diego with it's important military presence! Please resist the major expansion of Gillespie Field over our community!!— July 23, 2013 8:47 a.m.
