Sad news to hear. Sandusky Griffing airport will be closed by end the year
More like its just too expensive to keep operating it as a airport. There was a official announcement in the paper last week but it's been in the works I guess for awhile. Interesting to see what it becomes. In the past the metro parks wanted to buy it and turn it back into a wetland like they have done with all the land to the east the airportWow. I was just there a few weeks ago. Guess the property has a really good value.
Yea but problem is most aircraft that fly into cedar point don't buy fuel when they land at griffing. There is speculation around here that cedar point wants to buy the land.What a bummer! PCW is much further away from Cedar Point. Always fun to fly into...
they won't allow new owners to keep it an airport because they don't want someone buying it and competing with their business which is moving to port Clinton. They are taking all the private owners who have hangars there to port Clinton with themTO bad.... Who wants to buy an airport?
Contract you sign when you buy the airport. Alternatively, they could just tear up the runways before they leave. Maybe call in the military and be like 'Free testing for anti-runway weapons available.'That's a shame. I wonder how they could control that though. Some one could easily come in and buy it as a Private field, then turn it back into a public one.
