Well, SAN is a Navy town after all and they like the aircraft carriers out there.

Isn't that the truth!

Interesting idea....never happen, but interesting.

There was a study done years ago (1970s I think) on the feasibility of an offshore airport down in that area. I know this because I found it in looking for a topic for my Economics of Ocean Resources course at UCSD. I even got an A on the paper, probably because it was the only paper not written about fish!

The one that has controllable hydraulic supports under the terminal because of the ground movement?

wouldn't it be great if there was a military field there that is scheduled to close. oh wait, there is. Miramar. but NIMBYs want a big park. so let's spend 20 billion instead of 1 billion to build a terminal and a parking garage.
