Surely the time has come for San Diego officials to push for a swap with the Navy of Lindbergh Airport for Miramar Naval Air Station. Lindbergh Airport may not be suitable for international air services, but in conjunction with the North Island Air Station, it should be able to meet all Fighter I helicopter requirements, plus the fact that it adjoins the San Diego Training Center would seem to strengthen the bid for the retention of the latter.

By acquiring Miramar Naval Air Station, San Diego would have an airport meeting international standards less than 10 miles from downtown.
