U.S. Military To Replace California Airport Runway
As part of a training exercise, the Department of Defense is sending in the Marines and Navy to rebuild the strip at Catalina Island's Airport in the Sky.
The U.S. Marines and Navy will replace the aging 3,000 foot asphalt runway at Catalina Island's Airport in the Sky with a concrete strip, as part of a training exercise. Aimed at giving the troops experience in repairing and developing runways in remote areas, the military involvement in the three-month project is estimated to save the Catalina Island Conservatory which has operated the airport since 1972, approximately $1 million in labor and equipment costs, over using a private contractor.
