Pendleton Field?
Assemblyman Steve Peace is introducing legislation to allow a study to put an international airport at Camp Pendleton. This could only have a tremendous adverse effect on the life style of those of us who live close to or near Camp Pendleton. The areas available to put an Orange County-San Diego International Airport, which is what is proposed, are too near to the cities of Oceanside, Vista and Fallbrook.
My objection is not only to the destruction of the quality of life; but, because my husband, Mac, is a retired Marine and spent much of his time at Camp Pendleton, I am extremely aware of the national safety of having Camp Pendleton here. The training must occur for the mission that must be carried out for national defense. Let us always remember that Camp Pendleton is the one stretch of open space that separates us from Orange County and Los Angeles.
I do not believe that San Diego County needs to solve Los Angeles’ and Orange County’s problems.
