Pfc. Stephen J. Compos (front to back), Cpl. Landon J. Wallace and Pfc. Bryan J. Craddock took down an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile after training at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station yesterday. Officials explained why they oppose joint use of the airport.
Chief Warrant Officer Robert Schmidt said the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team practices at the east side of Miramar, where terrain is similar to that in Iraq.
Hope it always stays military.
San Diego Lindbergh airport is fine where its at. We dont need a huge international airport contributing to even more conjestion in an area already badly conjested, both on the ground AND in the air. Leave it be. The quality of life here is already suffering enough with traffic.
San Diego is NOT Los Angeles or New York and never will be.
That's a negative ghostrider. The pattern is full
NO.
(We hope you understand the message.)
Don't worry; ain't happening.
I live in a community which borders Miramar. I've never had a problem with the Navy or Marines but I do have a problem with the city obsessively wanting Miramar for an freaking airport.
I was based at DaNang AFB in 68-69-70. During that time it was the busiest airport in the world. Two runways, each two miles long, with an average of one take-off or landing every 30 seconds, 24 hours per day. Trying to work in a civilian timetable would just not cut it if a military airfield needed to go to a war footing.
