This is great news not just for aviation but for the local community as well who continue to fully support the efforts to retain Lee as an airfield. Unlike some GA airfields, there was no nimbyism here, quite the opposite in fact. The local residents association was one of the biggest supporters of the campaign.
As a local myself, I hope that Lee will soon be able to welcome flying visitors to the area. It has much to offer. Situated literally yards from the Solent, it has a beautiful coastline, great sailing and the friendly borough of Lee-on-Solent just outside the airfields gates. Visitors will find a warm welcome from the locals.
Thank you AOPA and the Lee Flying Association for fighting the cause of commonsense against such idiotic taxpayer funded bureaucracy.
