replies: text: There's no reason not to have it in both places. Yes, it's significant for the program, but it's also a significant event for the airport as well. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 13:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Shorter names in Spaceport template 

message: Popular Mechanics has a good article on the spaceport including the following on its history. I think that, reworked to avoid copyright issues, the information below should be included and quite possibly a page put up on Dan Sabovich. 
Mojave's earliest airport was scraped into the desert in 1935 to serve the surrounding gold and silver mines. The government appropriated it during World War II as a Marine auxiliary air station, where Corps pilots received gunnery training. When the Marines pulled out in 1961, the airfield might have slowly reverted to sagebrush if not for an aviation-obsessed rancher. Dan Sabovich, who liked to fly his V-tail Beechcraft Bonanza from his own strip on his spread near Bakersfield, Calif., had a vision for the underutilized facility. He imagined Mojave as a civilian test-flight center that would cater to experimental aviation and be run by its own elected officials who could shield the airfield from political interference and protect its spirit of adventure. Sabovich had the political savvy to match his outsize vision; in 1972, after enduring several years of his intense lobbying, the state created Mojave's special airport district.
Sabovich ran the airport until 2002; he died in 2005. But the marriage he envisioned between public spirit and private enterprise lives on. Today, most of the airport district's board of directors are tenants, pilots or both.
No time to do it now for me. Hopefully somebody else will take up the edit or I'll get back to it later. TMLutas (talk) 17:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
