~ Dr. Coldwell stated that the two.
‘main problems facing residents
‘of:.this -area® in ‘respect. ‘to. ‘the.
-airport ‘are the training of. pilots, ‘

particularly by C.P.-Air,. and the

“newly. lengthened _ runway by a.

thousand fect: which will make it
possible, and, to some it would
seem. inevitable, for. regular
flights of large: jets. oes

Most | people, she . explained,:
have no objection to regular:

‘flights, but they do object to the

C.P.A- training flights. This was|

‘particularly apparent later in the
