Dillingham airfield is my home away from home. I skydive there, fly gliders and ultralights there. It is THE most beautiful airfield in the world. It’s important to me and to my friends that work there. It is their livelihood that concerns me most.

Dillingham is a world class facility that would be lost. We must work together to find a way to keep it open and preserve this resource that exists no where else in the world.

I am opposed to Resolution 2-’because it asks DOT-A to remain in
charge of Dillingham Airfield. I have seen over the years that DOT-A has been a Complete failure at managing Dillingham Airfield. The facilities are unsafe, the facilities are unsecure, and aviators and other stakehotders are not listened to or are discriminated against by DOT- A.
Furthermore, there ARE other places to skydive on Oahu as we’ve seen airfield users land on the beaches and other private property around the North Shore without permission, yet are also allowed to
continue the practice in commerce without consequences. I have faith and belief that even though the airport will be closed to civil aviation, that skydiving will still occur on the island and that it will be safer &just Written as big of an economic driver without DOT-A’s constant sabotage & Testimony economic discrimination that has occurred at Dillingham over the years.
Again I am firmly opposed to any resolution that asks DOT-A to mismanage Dillingham Airfield one day longer than necessary. The death and tragedy we’ve seen out here the last few years are due to DOT-A not being able to handle Dillingham Airfield, I’ve seen enough death and destruction, DO NOT let DOT-A continue.
Skydiving willcontinue on the North Shore of Dahu, at least this I am sure of with or without civil aviation occurring at Dillingham Airfield.
I grew up at Dillingham Airfield, I had my first birthday party there and
my 18th birthday party. I learned to fly gliders, airplanes, and skydive
1 at Dillingham Airfield. I also first started working on aircraft as a mechanic at Dillingham Airfield.
The place means a lot to me, but it can’t continue in the state that it is in and I’mready to stop watching skydivers get hurt, airplanes crash, and DOT-A walking away with full benefits and retirement, not a single person responsible has ever been held accountable.
Thanks for your time. Aloha & Blue Skies

It’sa great way to ri. en relieve stress at the end of the week and it many people from Testimony brings different walks of life, together as a family.

I was lucky enough to finally visit the beautiful island of Oahu in 2018.
While visiting a friend of mine and I drove out to Pacific Skydiving. He insisted we do a tandem. Being on that island, watching the licensed
skydivers come in on their own revived a dream in me I had let go of years earlier.
I skipped the tandem while he went up. There was a cool little gecko
that kept me company while I ate an acai bowl and planned out how I would go about finally getting my skydiving license.
I am currently sitting at 328 skydives and a C license. Covid 19 Written altered my plans of re-visiting Oahu and skydiving licensed skydiver Testimony as a last year.
Your islands are powerful and magical. They are capable of bringing dreams back from the grave for me on a personal level, and for most
on this planet I truly believe it as close to paradise as we willget. Soaring above and through the clouds over the island was a highlight
of my friend’s vacation as well as his life and I am eager to return and experience this firsthand.
I truly hope Kawaihapai (formerly Dillingham) Airfield is permitted to continue operations. Testimony Attachment Accept Terms and Agreement 1

Furthermore, there ARE other places to skydive on Oahu as we’ve seen airfield users land on the beaches and other private property around the North Shore without permission, yet are also allowed to
continue the practice in commerce without consequences. I have faith and belief that even though the airport will be closed to civil aviation, that skydiving will still occur on the island and that it will be safer &just Written as big of an economic driver without DOT-A’s constant sabotage & Testimony economic discrimination that has occurred at Dillingham over the years.
Again I am firmly opposed to any resolution that asks DOT-A to mismanage Dillingham Airfield one day longer than necessary. The death and tragedy we’ve seen out here the last few years are due to DOT-A not being able to handle Dillingham Airfield, I’ve seen enough death and destruction, DO NOT let DOT-A continue.
Skydiving will continue on the North Shore of Oahu, at least this I am sure of with or without civil aviation occurring at Dillingham Airfield.
I grew up at Dillingham Airfield, I had my first birthday party there and
my 18th birthday party. I learned to fly gliders, airplanes, and skydive
1 at Dillingham Airfield. I also first started working on aircraft as a mechanic at Dillingham Airfield.
The place means a lot to me, but it cant continue in the state that it is in and Im ready to stop watching skydivers get hurt, airplanes crash, and DOT-A walking away with full benefits and retirement, not a single person responsible has ever been held accountable.
Thanks for your time. Aloha & Blue Skies

Dillingham Airfield has been the location of several youth outreach programs/ activities and is a meeting place for women in aviation. Perhaps more importantly, skydiving and paragliding businesses that are currently operating there support the local economy.

Dillingham Airfield is the only place in the state that these Testimony . . companies can feasibly operate out of, meaning that if Dillingham Airfield were to close, several businesses would be forced to shut down, the state would no longer benefit from the revenue generated, and hundreds of people would lose their jobs.

IF the main reason for closing, as the State, says, is Testimony because they are running a deficit, my suggestion is that the state can easily hire a professional management team to run the airfield in a businesslike manner.

Dillingham Airfield is extremely valuable to the North Shore of Oahu. Our youth here on the North Shore have access to an incredible training facility right in their back yard. Jobs in aviation can be very high paying, and inspiring our young people to pursue that career path can change their future and, in the end, help our economy. The main airports on the island are already fully taxed and extremely busy. Access to hangers and tie downs at these airports are limited and difficultto acquire. Additionally, why would we want more people to fly in and out of our busy class bravo airspace, when people could be utilizing our smaller airports and reducing air traffic congestion in Honolulu’s class Bravo airspace? This airport can and does relieve some of the stress that has been placed on the larger Written airports. Testimony Closing this airport would uproot hundreds of professionals and their families. Glider operators, glider tow pilots, mechanics, flight instructors, ultra light pilots, securitas employees, tower operators, fuel concession employees, skydive instructors, skydive pilots, tour operators, skydive video editors, parachute riggers, etc would be forced to leave the island, the state or completely change careers after years working in their particular field. These professionals rent or own property here on the North Shore. Their children attend schools here and they spend their money in the Haleiwa and Waialua area. If they were to lose their jobs, the places that they live would go vacant, affecting the home owners and the home price value in the Mokule’ia area.
1 It would also reduce tourism on the lesser visited part of the North Shore. Skydiving, glider flights and the air tours operate out of this airport. The gliders and the skydiving have nowhere to go. Shouldn’t we be encouraging companies that show offour islands in unique ways? There is more to Hawaii than just our ocean and beaches.
All we would be doing ifwe shut down our airport is harming our community. We would be putting hundreds of people out of jobs in an economy where we we want to be saving jobs and taking away an educational resource from our children.
Please help us save our airport. Once it is gone, we will lose it forever. Closing an airport should not be a matter taken lightly. Testimony Attachment Accept Terms and Agreement 1

my first solo flight in a glider at Dillingham. At the age of seventeen I passed my first checkride and got my Private Pilot’s License at
Dilhngham. At the age of eighteen I became a commercial glider pilot
and scored my first pilot job at Dillingham. At the age of nineteen I Written became a certified flight instructor at Dillingham. Most importantly, Tes imony Dillingham Airfield is more than a slab of asphalt where I and others like me become pilots; Dillingham is an Ohana filled with life and
people. Each day I go to Dillingham, I notice the joy and the smiles that my coworkers, my students, and every other person at this Airfield shares with each other. Even a couple weeks ago, my seventeen- year-old student (now private pilot) brought his family out to Dillingham to fly with him.

RESOLUTION 21-7 — CONTINUANCE OF GENERAL AVIATION Agenda Item AT KAWAIHAPAI(DILLINGHAM)AIRFIELD Your position on Support the matter Representing Self Organization Honorable City Council Members,
My name is H. Gert de Couet and I am writing to give my strongest support to the City Council resolution to encourage the DOTA to ensure continuance of operations at Kawaihapai Airfield.
I have been a flight instructor in Hawaii for 20 years and I am a lead representative of the FAA Safety Team (FAASteam), a volunteer outreach organization that forms a liaison with the general aviation community to improve aviation safety through continuing education and training. Kawaihapai Airfield is one of only two airfields available for routine pilot training operations Written and the only one not surrounded by dense housing developments. The proximity of John Rogers airfield Tes imony (Kalaeloa) to Honolulu airport and the limitations caused by controlled airspace would create dangerous traffic congestion ifthe frequency of operations were to increase further as a result of the closure of Kawaihapai Airfield. By the same token the noise exposure of Ewa residents from training aircraft taking off may also increase as a result.
The geography of Mokuleia has made the airfield a world-renowned gliderport that attracts many pilots year-round from all over the world. The location of the runway also lends itself to offshore aerobatic training and represents the only feasible location for parachute operations on Oahu.
Through the 1940’s Oahu featured five additional airfields (Haleiwa
1 Fighter Strip, Kahuku A4F, Kualoa AAF, Kailua Sky Ranch, Bellows AAB) none of which are in operation today and only one is even recognizable. The purpose of these fields, including Kawaihpai/Dillingham, was primarily to support the defense of Hawaii and they were abandoned after WWII. Kawaihapai Airfield is literally the last lifeline for general aviation and associated businesses and activities on Oahu.
Finally, it is important to underscore that alternative management plans exist for the airfield that involve a public-private partnership. There is a future for the airfield that will relieve the State of some of its financial obligation relating to the maintenance of the facility.
I urge the Council to support RESOLUTION 21-7--CONTINUANCE OF GENERAL AVIATIONAT KAWAIHAPAI(DILLINGHAM) AIRFIELD.
Thank you for this opportunity to testify. Testimony Attachment Accept Terms and Agreement 1

I write today in support of Resolution 21-7 to keep Dillingham Field open as an operating Airfield. As the only glider facility on the island, a civilAviation mainstay, as well as a popular skydiving site, Dillingham Airfield serves a unique and valued community service. It sustains multiple businesses, employes residents in various fields from food service to aircraft maintenance and operations and provides recreational pilots a facility on which to operate private aircraft. All of these operations and activities bring revenue to the City and County of Honolulu in rents/leases, permits and fees, and sales tax revenue. Written There are at least three qualified parties who have interest es imony expressed in providing management of airport services for Dillingham Airfield should the City and County of Honolulu decide that this is the best option to keep the Airfield open and viable.
To close Dillingham Airfieldwould be a great disservice to the aviation
community as well as all residents of Oahu. I respectfully request your vote in support of Resolution 21-7.

I am a skydiving instructor at Dillingham Airfield and have been living and working on the island since 2017. Dillingham is a rare and beautiful location for skydiving, as evidenced by the many tourists that come here to skydive. Many of our students come from overseas specifically because of this place. What’s more, at a local level, the airfield supports the economy of the North Shore and employs many people, This benefits the whole island. Written It would be tragic in Testimony to lose this fantastic location, particular since there is nowhere else in the state that can offer a similarly favorable location where skydiving would be feasible and safe in such a way that most tourists would be able to jump. But skydiving is only one of the activities that visitors to Hawaii can enjoy at Dillingham. All in all, the loss of the airfield to the public would adversely impact the local economy but also the livelihoods of the many who depend, directly or indirectly, from the activities available at Dillingham.

The first time ever flew in a small aircraft was when I was a kid. My

life changed after that flight. Iwas hooked on aviation. 20 years later, I ended up moving to Oahu and immediately signed up for lessons at
Dillinham Airfield and the rest is history. I have owned and operated 3 aircraft since and formed an aircraft leasing company and Aerial Survey company based out of Dillingham. My daughters were born Written and raised on the North Shore and took their first flights when they Testimony were babies. My youngest daughter is currently the first female to attend the US Air Force Academy from Waialua HS. This Airfield is an important part of our lives. It provides jobs.

This has never been done before.They literally drew a 5 mile circle around Dillingham and allowed us to stay open even though we were in close proximity to the President which normally requires that we would have to close. It was done because this airfield is an essential economic asset to the North Shore, Oahu and the State of HawaN. There is in NO place that these businesses can relocate on Oahu or the other islands. The DOTA has suggested 17 other airports. Besides none are acceptable due to airspace restrictions, geographic issues such as no ridge for gliders to rien soar on the wind or turbulent air tumbling over mountains such as at . Kalealoa. The DOTA is either completely clueless on why Dillingham is Tes imony so special or they really are being ingenious in their suggestion that we can move. We have families with kids in school and they think we can just move to other islands. Everything about this decision by a couple of people at The DOTA with NO public input or economic study is ludicrous. There are three playgrounds for humans. The sea, the land and the sky. This portion of the sky with the geographic and meteorologic conditions make Dillingham uniquely suited for this busy airport. The DOTA does not get all the funds generated at Dillingham but this airfield makes more money for the community and state than The DOTA spends. Closing Dillingham is exactly like closing all the surfing beaches on Oahu to surfers for us that work and play in the sky- This is the ONLY place in the State of Oahu that these activities can take place. We are professional pilots, skydivers, mechanic etc. We will have to move to the mainland. All 150 families supported by the airfield will have to sell their homes, move out of the homes they rent. All of this property will be empty. We will have to move out of the State to continue the professions we love. The DOTA has mis managed this amazing resource for decades. They have NEVER even had an on site manager. I went over 8 YEARS without seeing a manager at the airfield. The DOTA is either un-willing or incapable of managing this type of airfield. That does not mean it should close, it means we need to get competent and passionate management. We have great companies interested in taking over this resource and just need the time to remove the inept DOTA from having control of a resource they do not appreciate or understand. Location, Location, Location. That is why we have all thrived while oneratino our
DOTA. Both of my businesses have been inducted into the Hall of
Fame. I understand good management and The DOTA is worse than NO management. There are so many people that use Dillingham Airfield from hikers, beach goers that need a bathroom, police, fire, road workers that need bathrooms, neighbors to the airfield walk inside the airfield to avoid the dangerous Farrington Highway etc. This is a TREASURE that the residents and visitors from all over the World enjoy. The field has been used for filming shows like LOST which stored aircraft on the field for 7 years, Hawaii Five-O, commercials, TV shows and movies. These location fees go to the State not The DOTA. The exposure is seen world wide. The videos our customers purchase of their aerial adventures are posted all over the World. It is simply outrageous what The DOTA is trying to do to this resource just because they have no passion for flying and no have never had an on site manager. There are thousand of residents the live in the State of Hawaii that come to Oahu since it has the best weather, geographic features and meteorologic conditions for these aerial activities. There is big money being generated and with proper management it could be the premier location in the World for General Aviation and air sports. Please do not let The DOTA do this to our industry and families.The photograph attached was taken of me at work above Dillingham while I was filming for the feature film Stealth. I have shot 4 James Bond movies, Point Break with Patrick Swayze, in charge of filming
President Bush’s skydives. I am a professional skydiving stuntman and a member of the Screen Actors Guild, I am a professional pilot with a Certified Flight Instructor. Our business Paradise Air is famous world wide for being at Dillingham and my photography business requires a high end skydiving center like we have ONLY at Dillingham. If Dillingham closes we all have to leave HawaN.

Meeting Date 01-12-2021 Council/PH Transportation, Sustamability and Health Committee Agenda Item Resolution 19t 21f Your position Support on the matter Representing Self Organization I am writing to support working with interested parties to ensure continued operation and civilian access to Kawaihapai (Dillingham) Airfield. This resolution and passing it on the City and County level shows the State that it mailers to us on Oahu, and we want it saved and accessible beyond June 30th (when the lease is set to be terminated by DOT).
I have so many fond memories growing up watching planes at Dillingham airfield and the Written now defunct Wheeler Aero Club, and spent many weekends tagging along and “kicking tires” Testimony with my dad (who was an airplane mechanic). Dillingham Airfield is one of the few places left where non-commercial pilots have a place and a space to exist and the loss of this airfield would me immeasurable. In addition, legitimate small business and the Civil Air Patrol would be displaced. In an already tough economy, we should be supporting local businesses and organizations that make our community better, not displacing them in their entirety.
Thank you for your consideration. Testimony Attachment Accept Tenns and Agreement

Airfield was my absolute favorite place to be. I met not only the amazing staff that work on the airfield but also thousands of tourists

Testimony internationally. There are people I met who travel to Hawaii only for
skydiving. I also plan on visiting again, as soon as the Pandemic
allows it. I am not sure if I would come again, if my friends lost their

I am a non-resident of Hawah, and a frequent visitor due to having family that has lived on the island for 30+ years. Kawaihapai
(Dillingham) airfield is a key site that I visit, and bring my family to multiple times per trip. These visits include: -Glider rides -Glider pilot training for my glider rating -Fixed wing airplane tours of the island -Landing/operations practice in rented airplanes from Kalaeloa airport. -Parking and access to the Kealia hiking trail -Watching skydiving and gliding activity.
I have not seen mention of this, but many paragliders fly off the ri en . nearby cliffs and have Testimony a landing sight established on the Dillingham grounds.
Additionally, visiting the nearby beach is a preferred location to be able to view and witness the multitude of aviation activities occurring.
Many of the Hawaii tourism websites to include hawaN.com lists several of the above activities as attractions for visiting Qahu and it would be a shame to remove these key highlights from those travel sites.
For these reasons I strongly feel the lease for the airfield should be extended (for decades to come) with planned improvements for the airfield for safety, comfort and convenience.

I urge you to allow continued operations at Dillingham. It holds a very

Thank you for your time and consideration, -Alex DiCecco

Aloha Chair & Vice Chair,
I am writing in strong support of this resolution,
Kawaihapai Airfield is the most special place in the world to skydive and soar thanicsto perfect weather, topography, and boundless natural beauty. Without any coordinated marketing or support, Kawaihapai Airfield is the number one drop zone in the Written world for skydiving. Testimony
An estimated 52,193 visitors went skydiving in 2019, contributing $12.6 in visitor spending. Closing the airfield would erase this economic impact, and shutter the doors of about a dozen businesses and negatively impact the lives of 130 people employed at the airfield. This is not the time to take away jobs and close businesses - the airfield must remain open.
Again, I am in strong support of this resolution and urge this committee to pass Resolution 21-7.

7 years ago I left California and journeyed to the Hawaiian islands. I was given the opportunity to become a parachute packer for Pacific
Skydiving, and live on the beautiful north shore. When I arrived the
first place Iwent was straight to Dillingham airfield, boy was I in for a
treat. I have never seen an airfield as perfect as Dillingham. This place is truly where all aviation dreams become a reality. From skydiving, to glider flying, to a perfect place for General aviation to come enjoy.
Everything about this place is perfect. I worked for Pacific skydiving for over 6 years and completed 6,000 skydives over Dillingham. 5 years
ago I started flying airplanes and have done hundreds of takeoffs and
Written landings on that perfectly placed runway. I even completed my private Testimony pilot check ride using Diilingham. This place is a huge asset to not just the aviation community but the islands community. If Dillingham closes hundreds of people will be out of work, and thousands will never fulfill there dreams of skydiving over the iconic north shore. COVID-19 has already made this year incredibly difficult by ruining the economy and thousands loosing their jobs. Closing Dillingham willonly make things
worse. I hope and pray there can be a positive resolution, and we can continue to enjoy the beauty of flight out of Dillingham airfield. Thank you and Aloha

Aloha1 work at Dillingham Airfield and live across the street in Mokule’ia, as does my partner. I am in support of continued civilian access and civil aviation at Dillingham Airfield as it has provided my entire household’s income for the past 8 years. Our jobs are highly specialized and it will be impossible to find work in our respective fields anywhere else in Oahu. Losing our jobs during a pandemic with be devastating. A substantial amount of the dollars earned at Dillingham are spent here on the North Shore, so other local businesses stand to suffer from the closure as well (not to mention all of the tourists who come to riLLen Dillingham that also on North Shore while out Testimony spend money they are here). From the standpoint of being a Mokule’ia resident living adjacent to the airfield I also have strong concerns regarding the military using the airfield more frequently for training if civilian access is restricted. As it stands now we experience quite a bit of noise pollution at night when helicopters are training and I have concerns that this could get worse. One of the many wonderful things about living in Mokulê’ia is the peace and quiet at night. Please help us keep our jobs and our peace and quiet, we would be eternally grateful.

I, along with countless others, have made some of my most special and exhilarating memories at Dillingham Airfield. The opportunity to skydive above arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world is a privilege and a gift that should be made available for locals and visitors from all over the world. Viewing the beauty of Oahu from the unique vantage point that only skydiving provides instills in those who participate a deep appreciation for the land and the ocean above which you’re flying. As this is the only place in the Hawaiian Islands where this is possible, closing this airfield would be devastating. Beyond offering visitors a potentially once in a lifetime experience, the Dillingharn Airfield supports a number of lifestyles and livelihoods. The instructors that to ntten enable visitors skydive are all employed by businesses that would be forced to shut down should the airfield cease to Testimony . . operate. The airfield employs hundreds of north shore residents, and eliminating their jobs is unconscionable, especially in the midst of an historic pandemic and recession. Further reasons to keep Dillingham Airfield open abound. It is one of the most unique and diverse airfields in the country. supporting general aviation, skydiving, trikes, and gliders. It offers a gateway to the North Shore for both visitors and residents, and can serve as a contingency plan (or alternative to HNL in some cases) in the event of an emergency or crisis. Activities made possible only through the continued operation of Dillingham Airfield bolster the tourism industry and provide incomes to hundreds of individuals and families on the island. Closing Dillingham Airfield would have devastating impacts for the economy and people of Oahu.
