Newbie Come-Here Didn’t Think Much Of Plane Traffic

Until now and wants to sue. She should move to P.G. where wind chimes can get you a $435 fine.

When Nancy Runyon bought her house in New Monterey in 1998

1998? Newbie.

She realized her house was now in the “instrument flight path,” where planes have to rely entirely on their instruments as they approach the runway when it’s socked in by clouds, which is often. She says planes “fill the sky” above her house on a regular basis as they’re coming out of the fog bank.

“I’ve lost a lot of sleep over this, because of plane noise, but also because of worry,” Runyon says. “I usually don’t go to bed until the last plane has landed.”

Over the past couple of years, Runyon and a group of New Monterey residents formed the Monterey Fly Safe Coalition to organize and exert pressure on the Monterey Peninsula Airport District board to mitigate the problem.

Tourist Hucksters Want To Change Airport’s Name

Carmel-Fresno Airport

Carmel-Fresno Airport has a nice sound, right? Is this the same group that wanted to change the name of the Stockton airport to San Francisco Stockton Regional Airport.

Should we all just start tacking “Carmel” to everything to increase it’s value to the less than intelligent tourists?

A Carmel tourism group has proposed changing the name of the Monterey Regional Airport — as it’s currently known — to the Carmel-Monterey Regional Airport, according to a proposal to the airport district’s board of directors this week.
Representatives for the group, Visit Carmel, which is funded by hotel and restaurant customers, showed Monterey Peninsula Airport District’s five directors Wednesday a presentation outlining why it believes including “Carmel” in the name would benefit the airport and the city.
