Aircraft Owners Still Waiting for Hangars at Oceanside Municipal Airport
Twenty-one new hangars at Oceanside Municipal Airport were approved by the Oceanside City Council in 2001, including the first 11, which were finished last summer after two years of work.
Meyers pointed out the same thing that's been told to the council: By accepting federal money in 2003 to purchase land for the airport, the airport must remain open at least 20 more years, and possibly in perpetuity.
"The FAA will not allow this airport to be closed," Meyers said. "It's a grant obligation. What's left to discuss?"
