Tex Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 They just spent a truckload upgrading the current airport... also a bit of history there... I think the original location (or alternate) for the city airport once suggested was a similar location to this new one. Not sure it will be an easy road ahead for Wagners. Who knows what the local politicians would be thinking... Should be more airports and less trees everywhere IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well I drove around there this morning and there is already a SIGNIFICANT amount of money poured into the development of the area... new rail hub on the cards too I have been told. This will be a goer for sure I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M61A1 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Call me selfish, but, I'm not sure if I'd be happy about it.......... how much controlled airspace will they want for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I was thinking the same thing. Another airspace we cant use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
