Hats off -
To the Peninsula Aero Club; Bravo and well done.
Their 'tale of woe' may not carry the interest levels the Buckley story attracts, but when you think about it, there is much to admire. No small feat, standing alone, raising not only the funds needed but gathering local support and having the determination and intelligence to not be beaten into submission by the opposition.
A great effort and an excellent demonstration of what 'men of goodwill' can achieve. A lesson for every aerodrome and flight operation under threat from the bulldozers.
Nothing but praise and respect for this fine aero club. Thanks, is not much of a reward for the efforts – and the lessons learned. But Thank you anyway gentlemen.
I should also mention AOPA, this is now the second aerodrome story they have not only promoted but been effective in helping to save it. Looking back at some of the posts on this thread – it would be hard to gainsay the continuing AOPA efforts on behalf local aerodromes and operators.
Well done all concerned – well done indeed. AOPA do need your support – and grass roots aviation needs the advocacy of AOPA – join up if you can pay the modest fee, be part of the solution.
Toot – toot.
