Commercial Flights Could Go To San Bernardino

(AP) SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. Commercial airline traffic could touch down at San Bernardino International Airport within two years.

San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa discussed the air field's future as a prime location to take overflow from the crowded Los Angeles International Airport 70 miles away.

Morris said the discussion focused on the role San Bernardino International Airport might play as air travel increases
and as Los Angeles and Ontario International airports reach their limits.

The San Bernardino air field, once Norton Air Force Base, has long been touted by regional economists and civic leaders as a potential spring for renewed economic growth in San Bernardino and surrounding cities.

BSRanch Perspective:

The BSRancher, feels that the Closure of the Riato Airport at such a time when they are talking about opening an Internatinal Airport is a huge mistake and the last word will be said by the FAA, they will say that there is not enough small aircraft air fields for the smaller crafts to land, so there could be and could be a huge crash of small aircraft. That is the trouble they don't have a place to land and they will try to tangle up with the larger air crafts and this will and can cause such a huge headache for the Air Traffic Controler's that we will have houses more then likely in the area that has sold off as a private land, and which used ot be the airport. There might be such a crash above and at the collision site when they were open and they could have such a problem, with the hazardous air and close calls that none of the aircrafts want to land here in San Bernardino, and it would be and could be all Rialto, Ed Scott and Rep. Miller's Fault.

Wouldn't that just be to sad if the whole thing backfired on them and their whole land deals snake out their land because you have to know that they are the quick people to sell and they have to purchase them back via the Imminent domain program that is quick to be out dated, however if there is an emergency and they would figure out to be part of the emergancy, and suddenly the Rialto Airport was right back where it started from, only with better more up to date equipment and better run ways and state of the art equipment for the runways, and the like.
