Please understand, I’m not disagreeing with those who object to chemtrails, air tours (both helicopter and small planes) and the ever increasing noise of low flying aircraft noise. It’s extremely irritating over my own location, at all hours, and sometimes even shaking the house. And I do not live in the area underneath Airport Mesa.

Far more troubling to me and also as a safety factor is the ongoing near-to being grid-locked traffic should be an immediate concern.

City of Sedona, we all should be aware, has no jurisdiction over the airport except to control development through city codes. It’s the responsibility of the Forest Service, Yavapai County and the Airport Authority which I think is presently undergoing revision.

At such a time City of Sedona can adequately address the serious problems of dealing with too much traffic, inadequate city streets and failed drainage systems in many areas and a myriad of other things most municipalities deem essential, how can they possibly take on the airport?

This city council, the same as those in the past, set their priorities to cater to non-profits with benefits to only those who already support them. Much has already been written on this web site about warped decisions when it comes to spending city tax revenue.

Hopefully those with concerns expressed here have taken your arguments directly to the appropriate parties responsible for the operation of the airport – City of Sedona is NOT among them. In fact, why would you even bother when they are incapable of taking charge of their own obligations?

Rescues we understand and encourage public safety but money for profit for a handful at the expense of our quality of life for all and our public safety (who on the ground might have died if that pilot wasn’t a Sully?). Remember those darling four children killed last year after church services? Wasn’t that horror enough lives? Sightseeing flights have to be banned!

It’s the city’s responsibility for allowing unchecked growth in the Airport flight path and surrounding areas and now they need to step up and take the responsibility for stopping future deaths.

I had people sitting on my deck a while ago and it was impossible to have a decent conversation during the better part of an hour. We’ve reported it and no one is listening.

PLEASE FIX IT NOW. Or maybe we should work to ban sightseeing tours over our city? We live here, we work here. Pay attention to us.

i’d not fly to grand canyon airport or flagstaff airport because of winds, sedona has a city and houses on the runway approach and take off.

don’t like copters or balloons around here after one crashed in river killing lots. stay safe up there
