Pleasure of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
Mayor Saltarelli has requested that the City Council consider adoption of a
position that urges the Marine Corps to stop flights of the CH-53E Super
Stallion helicopter over populated areas until there is conclusive evidence
that this helicopter is safe. The CH-53E, which is presently the center of
controversy about its safety record, is currently utilizing the Instrument
Landing Approach for John Wayne Airport. This approach places aircraft over
populated areas of Tustin.
