New hangars and runway for law enforcement signal less turbulence between town and county

The law is coming to the Apple Valley Airport. The Apple Valley Airport, one of six owned and operated by the county, will soon be the new home of the High Desert aerial units of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and the California Highway Patrol. The county plans to construct hangars for law enforcement and an additional 24 T-hangars for private pilots is signaling a thaw in icy relations between the town and the county over airport control.

Palo Alto Airport Needs Your Help
By Andy Wilson |
Dear Fellow Airport Supporters:
It’st “crunch time”. Monday night, the Council will consider what we have to say regarding PAO and its’ future. There is a serious danger that they will take the cautious, bureaucratic “wait and see” approach of wanting more data, studies, and time, before postponing a decision yet again…..all the while not accepting Federal Grant aid while the physical plant deteriorates. We need to do the following two things, and I ask that each of you do so!

I will also represent myself, from Menlo Park, with an airplane based at Palo Alto Airport (PAO). I expect to comment on the key role that PAO plays in serving various area businesses and surrounding communities.
