PROJECT STATUS UPDATE 11/12/2024
Hangar Painting
The East-Ts are getting a face-lift. The peeling paint on some of the hangars has been repaired over the past week--a great
improvement in the looks of the East-Ts. Next, maybe a taxi lane resurfacing to reduce the sand-induced erosion of propellers?
Runway Closure
In order to install some FAA equipment, the north runway 29R/11L will be closed from 7 AM to Noon on Monday, 4 November.
The south runway will be open.
Airport Noise Hearing Board
After being presented with a second letter outlining the illegal aspects of the Board's activities, the City of Torrance has
given notice that the Board will be dark until early next year. Over the last 12 months, 4 Torrance-based pilots were called
before the board. They enlisted the help of Shaby and Associates, which researched the legal issues involved and wrote the
letters. All of those hearings were cancelled or "postponed."
Measure TC
A reminder: if you have not yet voted in the November 5 election, please vote NO on Measure TC. Besides giving City Council
Members a 2,300% raise, it also repeals the Airport Fund and the requirement that all money earned from airport property be spent,
as a first priority, on airport operations and maintenance. One can only guess what mischief the City plans if Measure TC passes
and the airport loses its currently guaranteed funding source.
