CM PRESS # 850

WANT TO STOP AND MAYBE EVEN REVERSE JOHN WAYNE'S GROWTH?

The ONLY way is to come up with an alternative location. If you don't know why, or if you think that you can stop John Wayne's growth by capping flights you may be beyond help.

For several years, the CM PRESS has said that a new international airport should be built on a sliver of Camp Pendleton. LINK to maps of Camp Pendleton.

Here's why Camp Pendleton makes sense:

The CM PRESS Camp Pendleton proposal would only use about 3% of Camp Pendleton. The rest of the present base (97% ) would continue as a military base.

Consider:

John Wayne Airport is 501 acres.

Los Angeles International Airport is 3, 425 acres.

Camp Pendleton is 125,000 acres and has 17 miles of coastline.

You could fit about 250 John Wayne Airports or 36 Los Angeles International Airports on Camp Pendleton.

Take just a tiny 3% of Camp Pendleton and build a state of the art, 100-year-airport there.

This 3% would be 3, 750 acres.

That's 325 acres larger than LAX and 3, 249 acres larger than JWA!

Plus, the planes can take off over the ocean.

This new airport at Camp Pendleton would also have easy freeway access and we wouldn't need to send people on trains into the middle of the desert to get on planes, which is another idea that is being floated in addition to capping.
