Down and out in San Diego
A developer pays dearly for threatening GA

Sunroad Enterprises defied the San Diego city attorney, the FAA, and the California Department of Transportation when it built a too-tall building seven-tenths of a mile from a Montgomery Field runway. Now deconstruction work has begun to lop two stories off the top of the building.

AOPA members helped make it all happen!
