Here in San Diego, we are in the midst of yet another airport study.
We have lived here twenty years and this is at least the fifth such
commission chartered to study San Diego's need for a larger airport.
In every instance, they recommend an active military base as the
choice. Funny thing, the military has never waivered in their position
that they are not moving from Miramar (the air base that was the
backdrop to the movie "Top Gun"). That's OK, because the commissions
never listen to them anyway.

=====================
What a difference a few years and a bridge make! Back in the 60's when I was
there, you couldn't have given Miramar to SD. It waqs about a 60 mile round
trip to get from downtown down to San Ysidro (sp?) and back up the Strand.
And the Strand was mostly deserted most of the time, except for the
personnel at NAS.
