Hawthorne Airport
“The Battle Over Hawthorne Airport” (Oct. 29), placed next to “3.7 Quake Produces Brief but Heavy Jolt” near the Newport-Inglewood fault, should remind everyone what critical and important roles our general aviation airports play in emergencies.
Southern California is earthquake country, and if streets and freeways in the Hawthorne area and the South Bay were damaged, that airport would be invaluable in getting help into and out of the area and to LAX itself.
