🌾✈️ When the county proposed closing the airstrip,
the town voted 71% in favor.
Nobody uses it.
Waste of money.
Too small for anything real.
The remaining 29% said: "Wait.
You don't see what we see."
In the past 5 years alone:
A mercy flight that saved a diabetic woman who couldn't make it to the hospital by road.
A crop duster who saved 4 farms from an aphid outbreak.
A bush pilot who flew a premature baby to a NICU in a storm.
A volunteer pilot who flew blood supplies during a winter road closure.
A Young Eagles event that gave 34 kids their first flight.
Three business owners who flew in investors from the city.
A grieving father who flew his son's ashes over the county.
The list went on.
The 29% read it at the council meeting.
The council went silent.
The chairwoman: "We didn't know about any of this."
29%: "Because these people don't make noise.
They just fly when they're needed.
And they're needed more than you think."
The vote to close failed.
The strip stayed open.
It still sits there, quiet and unnoticed.
Until it isn't.
Type "THE STRIP STAYS OPEN" 🌾
