Notes
“Nobody WANTS an airport in his backyard,” said Mayor Lorraine Hine of Des Moines. “But in South King Couniy we’ve always lived in the shadow of airports and planes and there seem to be more planes all the time.” Mayor Hine said the smaller general-aviation planes are be-coming a real hazard competing for air space with the large jets. “Every additional plane coming into or out of Sea-Tac increases the chances of a San Diego-style collision of a small plane and a large jet.”
