They should be able to do it w/o refueling. Santa Monica City Government will be selling two types of reformulated fuel- Chablis & Merlot from what I hear.

Seems like an odd business decision with all the turmoil at that airport. However, it does seem like they are trying to show the residents that there can be a benefit to them by having an airport with affordable air fares to other cities, but I suspect it is far too late for them to see reason. Then again, maybe they'll start using the flights to Carlsbad and get angry that there are no caves...

I guess they really should be on the lookout for bulldozers in the night, no wait, there is a curfew on noise.....thta would be funny to take the city to court.

Nice a strong response without knowing the facts and whys of the situation. Clearly the FAA is actually standing up for the flying public's interest (who they are supposed to represent).

Meanwhile he is promoting an art show at the local Yaht club... I bet he would feel differently if this was a fight over the marina.
