One thing which didn't take place w/ Miramar over the years was "complete" encroachment. The military got lucky on that point.


Um...with the quantum leap in helo ops at Miramar (that's where the MCAS Santa Ana folks went), I've heard that the locals are complaining like never before, from areas that these low-flying, JP5-to-noise converters traverse on their way to Camp Pendleton.

"Encroachment" in reverse.

Indeed; adding the helos is a new twist to the situation.

As an aside, last Sat. was the last opportunity for visiting and saying
"good bye" to former MCAS El Toro before it's completely dismantled.
The efforts of some to turn that completely encroached location into a
new regional airport never really had a chance.
