LETTER OF THE WEEK

I believe it is time someone defended the attacks made against John

Wayne Airport concerning the noise. I live in Santa Ana Heights and I

hear planes all of the time. I don’t mind the noise at all and enjoy

having an airport nearby.

The airport is good for business and leisure travel, and encourages

growth. In short, it is financially good for the county and good for us

for having the convenience of having a small airport in our neighborhood.

We know it, the politicians know it, and that is why John Wayne Airport

is not going anywhere or will ever change.

I challenge all those who whine about the noise to write in and say

that they drive to Los Angeles or Ontario Airport and actually boycott

John Wayne Airport. Do they tell their friends and relatives to fly in

other airports because the planes that fly into John Wayne disturb them?

You cannot have it both ways. If you enjoy the convenience and

prosperity of having an airport nearby, then deal with the noise.
