This is my home airport and a valuable asset to San Jose. It is a shame and I'm disappointed in our officials in Santa Clara County. As the article suggests, it a a MAJOR reliever to San Jose International and having E16 so far south, it makes it unpractical to use that airport. Please help support Reid Hillview!
The noise will never go away even if the airport is shut down. That area would be a prime flight training area just north and away from LAX. My friends in Santa Monica don't want the airport to close. They are afraid of more development, more people, and more traffic.
