California airport overcomes threats, gets facelift

Key Los Angeles International reliever airport, Hawthorne Municipal, will be closed for almost a month—but it's a good thing.

Just a few years ago, AOPA helped with multiple efforts to protect the airport from closure and encroachment. Read more on AOPA Online.
