Show Salt Lake Utah February 1957 Roosevelt Utah I am in Salt Lake for a few days continuing on to my home in five years ago I frequently landed my airplane at the Roosevelt Municipal while pasing through that part of the I had occasion to pass over your Uintah Basin again yesterday and thought I would drop in again just to see how things are and I must say that I found things considerably different than they were in the past It is hard to how a city can let its airport become so run i As I remember it your airport was one of the best small town airports in the The fact that aviation interests suffered a decline to the point that many such airfields were closed down and is not too significant due to the fact that it is now coming In great The thing that disturbs and I am sure that anyone else in your area will agree with is the fact that your once fine airport has not only been it appears to have been converted into a dump I was very much and in to find that I couldn't even into town for a For an airfield to be closed down due to lack of interest is not to be but to let a once fine airport become so there is absolutely no At least it would cost thousands of dollars to restore the field to its original and this will have to be done some because the airplane is here the light airplane business is growing by leaps and I don't know what your cities policy is concerning the but whoever is responsible should try and keep things from getting if that's I hope that I have the name of your paper I would like to have you print this if you feel that I am I am sure that any air visitors to that part of the state will formulate the same opinions as I have about your and possibly your Fred M.
