In the Jan/Feb 2002 California Pilot, the issue of trees penetrating the 20:1 approach surface at multiple airports cost Siskiyou County the suspension of Caltrans funding to five of its airports. It also cost Dunsmuir Mott and Blue Canyon airports the suspension of their operating permits.
Mark Nahan is a flying machine. He’s an 18 year-old senior at Oak Park High School, in Oak Park, California, and he recently nailed his Instrument check ride.

Caltrans has suspended flight permit operations to Dunsmuir Muni Mott, and airport funds to five Siskiyou County-run airports have been suspended due to safety concerns over County height ordinance enforcement and wording.
