Thankfully there are a lot of thriving FBO's at Reid-Hillview Airport, so I
don't see the airport disappearing because Amelia's closed. Having said
that, Amelia's is THE 'cornerstone' of the history of the airport. I will
always recall walking off to my lesson (when I was working on my PPL at an
FBO that is cattycorner/across the street from Amelia Reid Aviation) and
watching Amelia heading off to teach an advanced aerobatics lesson with her
seat cushions in-hand.

I had been hoping against hope that Robin and Marici could find someone who
would be willing to keep the FBO open - but I guess not.

It will be missed by all of us at the airport.
