August 15, 2004Small airports to the rescueDuring the California 1989 earthquake, many small airports -- which ironically are always under attack from those who want to see them closed -- played a critical role in the disaster relief effort for the large areas which were cut-off from effective ground traffic. We're seeing this again as Lakeland's Linder Airports has become a hub for the provision of disaster relief to the hurricane stricken areas of southwestern Florida. Good thing we didn't close that one. Posted by jackhodgson at August 15, 2004 11:58 AM |
